Pakistan’s fiscal deficit would increase more than six percent as United States excused to provide the allied support fund before June 30.
Source in the finance ministry told that American ambassador in
Pakistan was also contacted to make possible the release of fund but
America refused to provide money before end of June and release of fund
is expected in July.
Pakistan was expecting fund between 35 crore to 50 crore but this
unavailability of funds in time would increase Pakistan fiscal deficit
more than six percent and Pakistan’s claims touched the one billion and
eighty crore dollars related to allied support fund. SANA
