ISLAMABAD: Former Finance Minister Miftah Ismail stated that foreign reserves of Pakistan would never drop this level at $ 2.5 billion if his financial policy is followed. Talking to private TV channel Miftah Ismail stated that Ishaq Dar took delayed decisions which dented Pakistan’s economy.

He said that ruling government took tough decisions to fulfil conditions of International Monetary Fund to revive loan agreement. Miftah Ismail said that ruling government is now realising that situation would have been different if Finance Ministry followed his policy. PML-N leader said that friendly countries also assured IMF that they would invest in Pakistan, but later they all stepped back.

He said that former Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin had made mistake in past and Ishaq Dar also made some mistakes which will surely create big impact at time of election. PML-N has suffered enormous losses, if they continue with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan’s policy, how can they be held responsible PTI Chief? Miftah Ismail expressed concern over imposing additional taxes as well as inflation in petroleum products in past two weeks.
