As the Shehbaz Sharif government prepares to present its third budget under the IMF programme, Pakistan's economy faces a difficult balancing act between maintaining macroeconomic stability and reviving economic growth.

While inflation and external account pressures have eased, the economy continues to struggle with weak GDP growth, slow private investment, limited job creation and declining business confidence.

In this segment of On My Radar, former finance Minister Dr. Hafeez Pasha examines:

Why Pakistan's public debt has surged from Rs19 trillion to nearly Rs80 trillion in a decade
How debt servicing now consumes around 60% of federal revenues
Why development spending remains constrained
