In the very first episode of Beyond the Indus, hosts Tushar Shetty and Joe Wallen are joined by Dr Miftah Ismail, former Finance Minister of Pakistan, and Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director of the Asia Program at the Wilson Centre, D.C., to discuss Pakistan’s ongoing poly-crisis.
Join us as we explore how Pakistan’s long term economic woes, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the political chaos engendered by the rise and fall of Imran Khan culminated in one of the worst crises the country has ever faced, accompanied by food shortages, catastrophic floods, a breakdown of law and order, and the ominous rise in terrorist attacks by the Pakistani Taliban. We discuss how the various factions in Pakistan’s politics are lining up for the next election and what Pakistan needs to do in the long run to revive her economic fortunes.
