Islamabad June 6 2022: The Prime Minister will at some point announce austerity measures to save government expenditures, says Finance Minister of Pakistan Miftah Ismail.
He said, “But there is not going to be any declaration of financial emergency. Nor is there any financial emergency. After two increases in petrol prices, we are out of the financial crisis.”
He added, “There is absolutely no plan to freeze foreign currency accounts or Roshan Digital Accounts or take over people private lockers. We have never even contemplated these steps. Nor will we ever do it. Speculation on social media about this is wrong and coming from biased quarters.”
