Why can’t Pakistan fix its economy?

In this episode of The Talha Ahad Podcast, leading economist Sakib Sherani unpacks the deep-rooted causes of Pakistan’s financial instability, from the illusion of GDP growth to the grip of elite capture, IMF dependency, hidden defaults, and why the system is built to benefit a few at the cost of many. We discuss:

➡️ Is Pakistan already in default?

➡️ How elite politics is strangling reform?

➡️ The smuggling economy and under-taxed sectors.

➡️ What does the default actually mean for ordinary citizens?

➡️ Who are our real allies, the US or China?

This is not just another economic talk; it's a reality check.
