Pakistan government will survive challenges to it

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Significance

Meanwhile, the pandemic-hit economy remains on shaky ground, although there are signs of recovery. Elections to the Senate -- parliament’s upper house, where the government bloc is currently in a minority -- are due to take place in March.

Impacts

  • Islamabad’s anti-India rhetoric will ensure that tensions with Delhi continue to simmer.
  • As economic recovery picks up, Pakistan will be less wary of accepting new Chinese loans for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
  • Sustained food price inflation could cause street protests in major cities.
