Fact check of concocted false assertions by sidelined/self proclaimed pseudo economists: Assertion 1: Pakistan's total debt is so high that it will never be repaid. Fact: As of June 2023, total public debt and liabilities of Pakistan are estimated to be about Rs. 72.978 trillion ($140 billion). Seeing as how the US has a total debt of $30.1 trillion, it is simply asinine to suggest that debt of a nation tends to hinders its potential for economic growth or development. While managing debt is important for financial stability, it is not the sole determinant of a country's potential for progress. Additionally, if Pakistan's economy was in such a state of disarray, then why are nations such as Saudi Arabia and China investing heavily in Pakistan's infrastructure and development projects? It is an indication that there is confidence in Pakistan's potential for growth and suggests that the country has the capacity to utilise it for repayment of its debt.
