A few days ago, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated that ‘Pakistan will absolutely not default’ as the government was committed to overcome the prevailing economic challenges.

Addressing members of the business community at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in Islamabad, the finance minister pointed out that Pakistan was passing through a challenging phase but the government’s economic team was working hard to overcome these challenges.

Commending his economic team for its ‘efforts and hard work’, Ishaq Dar noted that the country had recorded a current account surplus for the months of March and April at $750 million and $18m, respectively.
