Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif claimed the country may not need International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans within six months due to a surge in defence orders, particularly for JF-17 fighter jets, following a military conflict with India. He stated that Pakistan's aircraft have been "tested" and are receiving significant orders. This assertion comes as Pakistan faces economic challenges and relies on an existing IMF program. While some reports suggest potential deals with countries like Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, analysts express skepticism given Pakistan's financial situation.
