Resilience shown is due rapid improvement in CAD
CAD Has dropped more thAan 50% due to 17%(12% remittances 5% exports) increase in inflows and 30% decrease in imports (both oil & non oil)

Now its dropped to 4% of GDP..anything around 2-3% is manageable

Issue however is expensive loan rollover due to downrating of Pakistan
 
it is positive sign but govt should try to focus on controlling inflation artificially made by traders and also improve human resource management to reduce joblessness of educated public
