ISLAMABAD: Pakistan ne International Monetary Fund (IMF) ko ittila di hai ke raat-e-maali saal ke dauran bijli ke sector mein 535 arab rupay ke izafi nuqsanat honge — jo pichlay saal ke muqable mein 35% zyada hain.
In nuqsanat ki bunyadi wajah bijli ke billon ki kam recovery aur line losses batayi gayi hai. Hukoomat ne IMF ka 200 arab rupay ka target (circular debt kam karne ke liye) tasleem karne se inkar kar diya hai.
Zaraye ke mutabiq, Power Division ne IMF ko bataya hai ke is saal circular debt 505 arab rupay aur barhne ka imkaan hai, jab ke IMF chahta hai ke ye izafa 200 arab tak mehdoood rakha jaye.
Power Division ne wazeh kiya ke line losses kam karne aur bill recovery behtar banane ke liye ab koi khaas gunjaish nahi bachi.
Data ke mutabiq, sirf kam bill recovery ki wajah se 260 arab rupay ka nuqsan hone ka andaza hai — jo pichlay saal ke muqable mein 97% zyada hai. Jab ke power companies ki karguzari mein kami ke sabab aur 276 arab rupay ka nuqsan hoga.
IMF ne poocha ke agar July aur August mein bijli ke sector ne behtar performance dikhayi jahan nuqsanat 153 arab rupay tak mehdoood rahe (jo pichlay saal se 37% kam thay) to phir baqi saal ke liye targets hasil kyun nahi ho sakte?
Hukoomat ne bataya ke budget subsidy aur kuch aur iqdamat ki wajah se circular debt ka total volume June tak 2.42 trillion rupay se kam ho kar 1.6 trillion tak laaya gaya hai, jise IMF ne saraha hai.
Lekin mustaqbil mein is maslay ka paidar aur mukammal hal ab tak saamne nahi aa saka. Power Division ke tarjuman ne is khabar par koi comment karne se gurez kiya.
