Why this matters

This debt has to be repaid in dollars that Pakistan must earn or borrow again, so it is the debt that causes crises.

Economy: Repayments compete with imports for the same dollars. When they bunch up, new loans or an IMF programme usually follow.

For you: Dollar debt gets more expensive every time the rupee falls, and taxpayers carry that cost.
