Islamabad: Pakistan’s federal debt has surged to an unprecedented Rs 81,930 billion, breaking all previous records, according to reports on June 9, 2026. In the past year alone, the debt increased by nearly Rs 6,994 billion, with a staggering Rs 1,406 billion added in April 2026 alone. Economic experts warn that continuous borrowing to meet budget deficits is putting immense pressure on the country’s financial system. Without timely economic reforms, development funds may run out, and the fiscal system risks severe disruption. The government’s growing debt burden is now a critical concern for national security and economic stability.
