“The Nation magazine recently posted a small article entitled, ‘Pakistan gets second tranche of $553.5m from IMF.’ We are so used to these kinds of announcements that they hardly register anymore. But this is how the entrenched corruption of our day is carried out. This is magic money, of course. It will bolster foreign reserves, help Pakistan battle the Taliban (that it actually sponsors), aid the state in supporting its economy (whatever that means), ‘solve’ an energy crisis (really!) and support increased tax collection efforts. A Swiss green company is in line to soak up a good deal of this IMF tranche.”
