Introduction

Pakistan got more money from the IMF. Now, Pakistan wants to get money from China to help its economy.

Main Body

The IMF gave Pakistan $1.32 billion. Pakistan followed the IMF rules. But the government did not collect enough tax money. To fix this, the government will make petrol more expensive. Pakistan also wants money from China. The Finance Minister will sell a 'Panda bond' for $250 million. This is the first time Pakistan does this in China. Other big banks will help with this plan. There are wars in West Asia. This makes the world dangerous. The government is spending less money now. They want to save money to keep the country stable.

Conclusion

Pakistan needs money from the IMF and China to pay its debts.
