Developed countries had expressed their interests for investment in Pakistan that balanced the economy for four years, he added.

Hafeez Shaikh said that no prime minister can influence the value of any currency with orders. The main reason behind the economic crisis is that we took loans in dollars when we were not having sufficient amount of this currency in the country, he added.

The adviser said that zero export growth was recorded during the tenure of previous government. No one was ready to help Pakistan in this critical situation, he went on to say.

Shaikh said, “We took loan from International Monetary Fund (IMF) in order to help the economic growth.”
