Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal
Pakistan’s economic dependence on IMF loans and the challenge of achieving economic independence

Pakistan’s IMF Trap: The Long Road to Economic Independence By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Pakistan’s recurring dependence on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has become an enduring feature of its economic history.

Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal
Dengue prevention efforts and mosquito breeding control in a Pakistani urban area

Dengue and the Cost of Waiting By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal There is a familiar weakness in the human character; we are often more comfortable responding to danger than preparing for it.
