“In August 2023, we will give responsibility to the interim government,” said PM Shehbaz in a live address on Thursday.
The premier said the incumbent government cleaned mess of four years in 15 months. “We didn’t bother for our vote bank but State Bank.”
PM Sharif further said Pakistan averted the risk of default by signing a $3 billion stand-by arrangement with the IMF. He also thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping, Saudi and UAE crown princes for helping Pakistan.
