Trending Theme: Pakistan to Privatize Power Plants

Pakistan is planning to sell two power plants in the Punjab region in what would be the country's largest privatization effort since 2006. The country hopes to raise roughly $2 billion USD from the sale, which it is trying to conclude by the end of June. The move comes as part of Prime Minister Imran Khan's efforts to attenuate Pakistan's debt burden, which has been a key focus of Khan's ministership. Khan has also sought loans from other countries in the region and from the IMF as a means to ease the country’s short-term debt issues.
