Default, Debt & Dysfunction: What’s Behind Pakistan’s Economic Crisis? | Sakib Sherani | Talha Ahad Podcast | Ep 139
Why can’t Pakistan fix its economy?
In this episode of The Talha Ahad Podcast, leading economist Sakib Sherani unpacks the deep-rooted causes of Pakistan’s financial instability, from the illusion of GDP growth to the grip of elite capture, IMF dependency, hidden defaults, and why the system is built to benefit a few at the cost of many. We discuss:
➡️ Is Pakistan already in default?
➡️ How elite politics is strangling reform?
➡️ The smuggling economy and under-taxed sectors.
➡️ What does the default actually mean for ordinary citizens?
➡️ Who are our real allies, the US or China?
This is not just another economic talk; it's a reality check.
