AXIS EYE- RED SEA DISRUPTIONS-V1

From the IMF to China. From Saudi Arabia to the UAE. And now to Donald Trump. Pakistan's search for another financial rescue has reportedly reached Washington, with Islamabad seeking a $10 billion backstop to stabilise its struggling economy. But why does every crisis end with another bailout instead of lasting reforms? This report breaks down Pakistan's repeated IMF dependence, rising debt burden, shrinking foreign exchange reserves, weak industrial base, limited exports, poor tax compliance and chronic energy-sector losses. It also explores whether Pakistan is trying to convert its geopolitical relevance into financial rewards by citing its diplomatic role during the Iran crisis. Will Trump agree? Or will he demand something in return? Here's a sharp, hard-hitting look at why Pakistan keeps borrowing, why reforms never last, and why every bailout only delays the next economic emergency.
