Next three months are going to be interesting. People were sending remittances and money in RDA, housing scheme, car scheme etc only because of the face value of Imran Khan. News are floating on the social media that people are already withdrawing deposits from RDA after the fall of IK govt. I have personally seen many people asking about the future of RDA in Question Updates group on FB and most of the answers were in the favor of withdrawal. Kindly note that RDA reached $4 Billion by the end of March 2022. Fingers Crossed.

How the hell has Pakistan economy rating suddenly gone from stable to negative? The economy was doing ok in a global crisis. The government was catching many untapped markets that lead to growth in exports since like 2010. We also beat our expected gdp growth from 5% to 6%.

Moody’s downgrades Pakistan’s outlook from stable to negative | The Express Tribune
Decision is driven by external vulnerability risk and uncertainty around ability to secure external financing
www.google.com
The decision to change the outlook to negative is driven by Pakistan's heightened external vulnerability risk and uncertainty around the sovereign's ability to secure additional external financing to meet its needs, the rating agency said in its report.
Moody's assessed that Pakistan's external vulnerability risk has been amplified by rising inflation, “which puts downward pressure on the current account, the currency and – already thin – foreign exchange reserves, especially in the context of heightened political and social risk”.
