Circular debt
In Pakistan, circular debt is a public debt which is a cascade of unpaid government subsidies,[1] which results in accumulation of debt on distribution companies. When this happens, the distribution companies can't pay independent power producers who in turn, are unable to pay fuel providing companies thus creating the debt effect as prevalent in the country.[2]
As of January 2021, the total circular debt of Pakistan is ₨2,306 billion.[3]
