Pakistan’s Total Debt Falls by Rs 430 Billion in Two Months

Islamabad (International Desk) – Pakistan’s total public debt has recorded a significant decline of Rs 430 billion over the past two months, official figures reveal.

According to data released by the Ministry of Finance, the major reduction was seen in domestic debt, which dropped by Rs 398 billion, reaching Rs 54.073 trillion by the end of August.

Overall, the country’s total debt fell from Rs 77.888 trillion in June to Rs 77 trillion in August, reflecting an improvement in fiscal management.

Economic analysts say the decline indicates a period of relative financial stability supported by better fiscal discipline and a stable exchange rate. However, they caution that external debt remains a major challenge for Pakistan’s economy and will require sustained reform efforts to ease repayment pressures.
