Concerns have been expressed by Fitch Business Monitor International that Pakistan’s economic stability may be jeopardized by the country’s present political unrest.
Fitch underlined the crucial stage of Pakistan’s economic recovery in its most recent Pakistan Country Risk Report, pointing out that economic activity has been impeded by urban protests.
The paper highlights how unstable the political environment is and how the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is probably going to stay behind bars in spite of multiple successful court challenges.
According to this scenario, there are no immediate plans for new elections, and the coalition government is expected to remain in office for the next 18 months.
In the event that the government changes, Fitch also sketches up a scenario in which a technocratic administration would assume power.
