Nadeem Yaqub- Urdu VOA News, Washingotn
Prime minister's advisor on finance Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh along with top bureaucrats visited Washington DC and held meetings with US administration officials and representatives of IMF and World Bank. Talking to VOA at the end of his tour he disclosed that next tranche of $1.3 billion would be released after fund's May 14 review meeting. He said he has held meetings with his counterparts from China and Saudi Arabia and both the countries have promised to encourage their private sectors to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan particularly in the fields of agriculture, energy and livestock.
US/IMF/W.Bank seriously need to enforce a check & balance auditing system in all Pakistan Govt dept if they want their loans back with due interest. As so far none of the loans sanctioned have reached the projects they were granted for. Rather 99% have been eaten by Pakistan’s political filth. The loans have been recovered in much huge amount than actual by fake inflation imposed but unless a solid check & balance system is enforced to recover the loans its all a dream for USA/IMF/W.Bank.
