Pakistan: Currency Lows and Interest Rate Hikes

Available for over a year

As the country waits on funds from the IMF, Pakistan's currency hits a historic low against the dollar and the Central Bank raises interest rates to 20%. We speak to the former Deputy Governor at Pakistan's Central Bank and a former IMF official to get perspectives from both sides. We get reaction from the G20 meeting in India as angry exchanges over Russia's war in Ukraine dominated the talks. And we hear about the new trend of de-influencers, telling us what not to buy.
