Pakistan, Feb. 10 -- According to the State Bank of Pakistan, the country's internal and external financial burden has reached Rs64 trillion, which means every citizen old and new-born is in debt of Rs250,000. The World Bank and UNICEF give the bad news that Pakistan's external debt amounting to $127 billion places it in the first position among the top ten countries with the highest external debt. The financial situation is most worrying indeed for the sensitive citizens who feel it, even if not for the top ruling layers of the country.
