In this video, we explore what this unprecedented bailout means for Pakistan's economy, how it impacts the daily lives of its citizens, and the reforms the country must undertake to avoid future financial crises. Hear from residents and experts as they discuss the road ahead and the long-term implications for Pakistan’s financial stability.
