Pakistan continues to exceed its legal debt limit, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warning that repayment risks could rise further amid high financing needs and structural economic challenges.
The country’s debt levels are projected to remain above mandated thresholds in the coming fiscal years.
According to official documents, Pakistan’s current debt stands at 72.8% of GDP, significantly higher than the legal limit of 60% of GDP. The IMF projects that debt levels may remain above 67% in the next fiscal year, keeping the country outside the statutory benchmark.
