Pakistan Seeks Urgent Financial Aid Amid Economic Turmoil Following Military Strikes

Pakistan's Financial Crisis Deepens

New Delhi: In light of escalating financial pressures following military actions, Pakistan has urgently reached out to global financial institutions, including the World Bank, for immediate loans.

The government, led by Shehbaz Sharif, has reported significant economic damage due to ongoing conflicts, which have severely impacted the stock market.

"The Government of Pakistan is appealing to international allies for additional financial support after suffering substantial losses from enemy actions. With the situation worsening and the stock market in decline, we call on our international partners to assist in de-escalating tensions. The nation is encouraged to remain resilient," stated the Economic Affairs Division in a message on X.

This request for assistance has led to renewed criticism, with experts labeling it a significant diplomatic and financial setback for a nation still grappling with the repercussions of recent military actions.
