In response to a question posed by Senator Azam Swati, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in a written reply suggested that some 400 corporate enterprises had gotten their loans written off in the last 30 years.

Corruption is at an all time high. I guess the loans from IMF and World Bank are being put to good use, loan write offs for the rich because after all they need money more than the poor. The poor can eat grass, or sleep in the open fields.
