What to Become of Pakistan's Rising Inflation? | Upcoming Elections and Military Politics

Dr. Danish Khan is an Assistant Professor of Political Economy at Franklin and Marshall College and a keen observer of the situation in Pakistan. His conversation with Raza Rumi provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex situation that has unfolded in the wake of Pakistan's acceptance and implementation of IMF conditions. Dr. Khan begins by shedding light on the origins of the crisis, tracing it back to the electricity bill grievances in Pakistani-administered Jammu and Kashmir. He underscores the critical importance of economic stability for implementing effective reforms, emphasizing the dire need for social stability to counteract the recent unrest. The conversation takes an international perspective as it explores Human Rights Watch's call for the IMF to assist Pakistan in upholding the right to electricity. Dr. Khan raises concerns about the IMF's policy focus, which often prioritizes avoiding foreign liability defaults over the immediate welfare of citizens. Furthermore, the interview highlights the ripple effects of rising dollar prices on inflation, providing insights into the potential political fallout as Pakistan approaches an election, especially with the military's role in the country's politics. #newwaveglobal #pakistan #economy #kashmir
