Quote:I would also like to draw the attention of the readers towards the imminent debt repayment crisis. The State Bank of Pakistanââ¬â¢s foreign exchange reserves as on March 28, 2013 are close to $7.0 billion. In March alone, the SBP has lost almost $800 million in its reserves. [color="#FF0000"]The SBPââ¬â¢s reserves of $7.0 billion also include $2.3 billion of its forward buying from the commercial banks.
After adjusting for forward buying the SBPââ¬â¢s reserves stood at $4.7 billion.[/color] During April 1 and June 30, 2013, Pakistan will have to repay $905 million to the IMF alone. Assuming little or no inflow during the caretaker regime, [color="#FF0000"]the SBPââ¬â¢s foreign exchange reserves would decline to [size="6"]$3.8 billion by June 30 ââ¬â a recipe for triggering the crisis of confidence and flight of capital.[/size][/color]
