ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said on Thursday that negotiations with the Swiss authorities over bringing back 200 billion dollars will begin in August.
In a statement, he said that the talks would be held in several phases and that it could take three to four years to bring back the said money to Pakistan.
He said that the economic situation was fragile when Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) came into power. He said the international monetary institutions had predicted that Pakistan would go bankrupt in 2014, claiming that the government with ‘good performance’ proved that Pakistan has a strong economy.
