Pakistan needs 33 billion dollars
Pakistan is in news for economic slowdown amid natural calamities, food shortage, and poverty. Pakistan was hit by floods in July last year, which destroyed large areas of farmland. The country's foreign exchange reserves have reached a new low of USD 4.6 billion. There are only so many foreign reserves left in the country that it will be enough to pay import bills for only three weeks. Looking at the economic condition of Pakistan, analysts have told the need for $ 33 billion for Pakistan's relief.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says the country will need USD 16.3 billion over the next three years to combat climate change and improve conditions. Pakistan is not giving support prices on crops to its farmers. Because of this farmers are reluctant to increase the area under wheat cultivation.
Farmers are demanding "agri-emergency"
Farmers in the country are calling for an "agri-emergency" because of fertilizer shortages and poor crop prospects.
