He said that Pakistan is part of the IMF program which calls for ending subsidies.
Yusuf Saeed said that when this program was started the interest rate was between seven and eight percent & the government was having to pay very little money on the difference between the discounted interest rate & the actual interest rate in the market but now the interest rate is has reached fifteen percent & this gap has also increased so much that it may not be financially feasible for the government to subsidize the higher gap.
Yusuf Saeed expressed the possibility that the program might resume after some time but there would be a change in taking loans at subsidized interest rates.
