Some social media posts compare governments using absolute debt figures. That is not how sovereign debt is assessed anywhere in the world. Debt is not measured by headlines. It is measured by sustainability.
Here are the facts:
1️⃣ First, the claim itself is incorrect.
• Currently, Pakistan's Central Government Debt (Public Debt) is Rs81.9 trillion (latest State Bank data).
• The Rs97-100 trillion figure being quoted refers to Total Debt & Liabilities, which also includes private sector liabilities—not just central government debt.
2️⃣ The globally accepted measure is Debt-to-GDP, not debt in absolute rupees.
• Debt-to-GDP has fallen from around 76% in FY19/20, remained around 75% through FY22/23, and has now declined to around 68% in FY26.
• More importantly, external debt-to-GDP has fallen from around 28% in FY19/20, remained around 28% through FY22/23, and is now down to around 21% in FY26—significantly reducing external repayment risks.
• That is the direction every country aims for.
• Pakistan also recently raised a foreign bond at the lowest rate in the country's history (2.5%), helping reduce the overall cost of external borrowing.
3️⃣ Debt growth has slowed dramatically.
• Central Government Debt grew 23% in FY23.
• It is now growing at only 5% FYTD—the lowest pace in the last 15 years, compared with a historical average of around 12% per year.
4️⃣ Borrowing has become much safer.
• Average domestic debt maturity has increased from 2.8 years to 3.8 years, significantly reducing refinancing risk.
5️⃣ Expensive debt has been retired.
• Rs2.47 trillion of costly Central Bank debt has been paid off.
• Rs2.3 trillion of market debt has been bought back.
• Total early debt retirement has reached Rs4.7 trillion—a first in Pakistan's history.
6️⃣ Debt servicing has fallen sharply.
• Interest expense has declined from Rs8.89 trillion to about Rs6.94 trillion in FY26.
• That's a saving of almost Rs2 trillion (22%) in just one year.
7️⃣ Less of the country's income now goes to interest payments.
• Interest payments consumed around 64% of gross federal revenues in FY23 at the peak.
• They have now fallen to around 40% in FY26—a substantial improvement, creating more fiscal space for development.
8️⃣ Foreign reserves are stronger—not just larger.
• Import cover has improved from less than 2 weeks in 2023 to nearly 3 months.
• A significant share of reserve accumulation now comes from non-debt sources, improving the quality of reserves.
9️⃣ Pakistan has strengthened its repayment capacity.
• Three consecutive years of primary fiscal surplus, compared with a primary deficit exceeding 3% of GDP in FY22.
• Two consecutive years of Current Account Surpluses, compared with a US$17.4 billion Current Account Deficit in FY22—the second largest in Pakistan's history.
• Fiscal deficits and financing needs are declining, slowing the pace of debt accumulation.
🔟 The Bottom Line
Every government borrows. Every government repays. Every government refinances maturing debt.
The real question is whether debt is becoming more sustainable, more affordable, and less risky.
Today, the answer is yes:
✔️ Lower Debt-to-GDP
✔️ Lowest debt growth in 15 years
✔️ Lower interest burden
✔️ Safer debt profile
✔️ Longer debt maturity
✔️ Better quality foreign reserves
✔️ Stronger repayment capacity
That is debt management with progress. Not headline politics.

Scoop!!
@FarhatJavedR has refused to honour @BBCUrdu request. BBC had asked local staff to declare this expose of coercion as fake news (promising early clearance of dues). Farhat Javed refused. However she is being threatened with dire consequences like termination of contract. Let's see if she stands or succumbs.

آقا سے مل رہی تھی گواہی غلام کی

@kschehzad تنقید اپنی جگہ، مگر معیشت کا اصل پیمانہ اعداد و شمار، مالی استحکام اور عوامی اعتماد ہوتا ہے۔ جب نتائج بہتر ہوں تو ان کا اعتراف بھی ہونا چاہیے۔
@fake_burster@AliCh7777@FarhatJavedR@BBCUrdu The public deserves clarity. The best way to address serious allegations is through transparent communication and an impartial review of the facts.

Have said it for a long time that this is an account run by Youthias as is mostly and wilfully spreading fake news and disinformation
Both these tweets got hundreds of thousands of impressions and are completely false - and pushing a certain anti-Pakistan narrative

Deeply saddened by the devastation and loss of life caused by the earthquakes in Venezuela.
On behalf of the people of Pakistan, I convey our heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Venezuela, especially the families of the victims. We pray for the injured and stand in solidarity with all those affected during this difficult and challenging time.
FACT CHECK
◼️ BBC Urdu has published a report claiming that police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir stopped civilians carrying food, medicines and fuel and ordered them to destroy these supplies.
◼️ The report’s headline and central allegation rely entirely on the account of a single anonymous source (“Naveed”, a pseudonym). No video evidence, independent witnesses, official record, or third-party verification has been provided to substantiate this serious claim.
◼️ The report itself carries statements from police and district authorities rejecting the allegation and stating that supply vehicles are being facilitated, while disruptions are primarily linked to protest-related road blockades. (The official AJ&K police press release confirming the uninterrupted accessibility of the road is attached).
◼️In a press conference jointly addressed by Chief Secretary AJ&K and Inspector General of Police (IGP) AJ&K on 23 June, such claims were categorically refuted. The officials provided facts, stating that inconvenience on roads was caused by protestors of proscribed Action Committee who tried to stop and loot trucks laden with commodities arriving in AJ&K. The same were later secured and recovered by law enforcement agencies.
◼️This establishes the fact that routes remain open for all types of traffic. The link to complete press conference and subsequent news clippings are attached for reference.

Fact: The use of a single poor source of information by a reputable and old news service is both unfortunate and deplorable. The article does not provide evidence sufficient to support the headline allegation. The claim that police forced civilians to destroy food, medicines, or fuel is incorrect and being misused for purposes of narrativization.
