ISLAMABAD: Renowned economic expert, Dr Ashfaq Hassan, said on Sunday the economic crisis the country had to face was deliberately orchestrated by the previous government.
In an interview, he said when the political party leading the government in 2017 realised that it would not come to power due to Panama Leaks, it deliberately made the economic situation worse.
Ashfaq Hassan said he had written in an article published in Dec 2017 in an English language magazine that the way the economic situation was being aggravated, it seemed that the country was being pushed towards International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that Panama leaks had already surfaced at that time.
