Pakistan’s interest payments on domestic and external debt are projected to remain high over the medium term, taking up a substantial share of the country’s resources, according to The News.
Pressure from domestic and external debt
The outlook covers interest obligations on both domestic borrowing and external debt. The projected burden is not limited to the current year: payments are expected to stay elevated over the medium term.
A continuing claim on resources
Those payments are expected to keep absorbing a large portion of Pakistan’s resources. The available report does not specify an annual payment total or provide a year-by-year breakdown of the projected interest burden.
