Dr. Awab also tweeted:
Miftah Ismail borrowed Rs 200,000,000,000 from the SBP. After almost three years of no borrowing from the central bank – by the PTI. The PML-N is gearing to its old ways to shell out state institutions as long as they can spend millions on Jatti Umrah.”
Just casually Just causally
Miftah Ismail borrowed Rs 200,000,000,000 from SBP

A news is circulating on social media whereby an impression is being created that Government has borrowed from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) which is grossly incorrect and depicts the limited understanding of the monetary variables. pic.twitter.com/DZdqxrHRDU
