This is a vital promise as it is the Overseas Pakistanis who have genuine love for Pakistan and desire for it to improve but are fearful of using their hard earned money to invest in Pakistan given its instability. Pakistan needs as many sources of investment as possible and incentives need to be created urgently to ensure money comes in rather than flows out of Pakistan. Imran Khan provides the assurance that investors need.

Pakistan currency devaluation is historical. A 10% interest offered is unsustainable and clearly, a trap where Pakistan will poorly get stuck, where the world is giving loans on 1 or 2%. How come GOP is offering 10% to overseas Pakistani, this looks like a scam. kindly explain me
