Lame excuse!

Published on: June 26, 2020 5:20 AM

Sir: It has been reported on 12th June by all the newspapers including Daily Times that Advisor to the Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh has blamed Covid-19 for Rs three trillion GDP loss. In this regard, may I dare to say that the country’s economy was already in a loss in terms of its GDP well before the coming of Covid-19 in Pakistan?
