Pakistan Moves Closer to Collapse as National Electricity Blackout Hits & Cash Reserves Running Out



PAKISTAN is facing ECONOMIC MELTDOWN as the country runs out of Cash and Energy & Food Costs continue to Escalate. In an attempt to save Energy Electricity Power Stations were SWITCHED OFF overnight however they could not be re-started which resulted in a NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT. This Blackout left Hospitals, Schools & Pakistan's Industry without power for over 12 hours and the estimated loss is more than $100 Million. Pakistan has over $275 BILLION of DEBT and requires over $30 BILLION to service its debt and purchase FUEL & FOOD over the next 6 months. An urgent BAILOUT is needed and Pakistan is in discussions with the IMF about a Bailout Loan however the IMF want Pakistan to agree to Terms that they do not like. What is Pakistan going to do?
