Thread on External Debts -- First 9 QTRs of PTI against last 9 QTRs of PMLN: (Source: SBP)

From Mar 2016 to June 2018 during PMLN tenure, net external debts increased by $24.8 Billion while SBP reserves lowered by $6.3 Billion, thus overall liabilities impact of $31 Bil. (cont)

Whereas from June 2018 till Sept 2020 during PTI tenure, net external debts increased by $18.5 Billion while SBP reserves also surged by $2.4 Billion & thus overall liabilities impact of $16 Billion.

This is $15 Billion (48%) lower than what PMLN did. (cont)

PTI Govt has so far serviced / repaid $29.7 Billion external debt (Prin+Int) compared to repayment of $16.7 Billion external debt in same period by PMLN, means PTI has repaid $13 Billion higher (77%).

External Debt repayment in PMLN entire 5 yrs was $33.3 Billion (cont)

On the contrary, during PTI tenure of 2.25 yrs, they have already repaid/serviced 90% amount which PMLN repaid in 5 years.

These higher repayments & lowering Current Account Deficit & turning it into a Surplus has been a primary reason for this exceptional improvement. (cont)

PMLN indicators for external inflows / outflows gets poorer as their Govt approaches their tenure end because of excessive CA deficit in desire of a bubbled growth meanwhile external inflows / outflows continues to be improving as PTI is approaching during their tenue.
