Mohammed bin Zayed gave big blow to Shahbaz govt...?
Foreign investors have become very cautious about Pakistan's economic and political instability, which has started affecting its foreign investment. Pakistan's foreign investment has suffered a major setback. Three countries have withdrawn more than 1 billion dollars from the treasury bill, due to which Pakistan's concern is sure to increase. Many experts say that the way pakistan is getting buried under the burden of debt, the concern of the countries has increased and they have to think about investing.
In the current financial year, 1 billion dollars have been withdrawn from Pakistan's treasury bill. Only three countries have withdrawn such a huge amount from the treasury bill, which include the United Arab Emirates, America and the United Kingdon. Treasury bill or T-bill is a debt paper of any government, which is issued by the government. Whoever invests in it is promised a return. Its duration is 94 days, 182 days or 364 days.
According to the state bank of pakistan, $1.163 billion was invested in T-bills between July 1 and march 14 this financial year, while the amount withdrawn is $1.121 billion, leaving only $42 million in T-bills.
The united kingdom is Pakistan's largest T-bill investor, which invested $710 million in the financial year 2025 and withdrew $625 million. At the same time, the uae withdrew $205 million and the US withdrew $130 million. Experts believe that these countries have become cautious about Pakistan's debt burden.
A financial analyst says that investors' confidence is wavering due to Pakistan's political and economic instability. The country's low economic growth rate is a big red flag for investors. Last year, a report by the state bank of pakistan came out on Pakistan's debt, which said that Pakistan's total outstanding debt for the financial year 2025 is $26.2 billion.
