In order to overcome its economic crisis, pakistan is taking various measures like getting loans from international organizations on the one hand and attracting investments on the other hand. Meanwhile, pakistan has said that it should not provide special assistance including tax concessions to investment countries. That is, it has been said that industrial parks should not be set up with concessions to specific countries through special agreements. china is investing heavily in pakistan through this practice. Now the IMF has imposed such a condition which has created a problem for Pakistan.
