HEADLINE: PAKISTAN’S POWER REVERSAL: IMF DEAL TURNS NUCLEAR ARSENAL INTO COLLATERAL

The Snippet: In a move that has fractured Islamabad’s political class, Pakistan has signed a $7 billion Extended Fund Facility. The kicker? For the first time, the IMF is auditing the security budget under a “fiscal transparency clause.” This isn’t just about inflation; it’s a global precedent. The military’s nuclear program—historically off-limits—is now the de facto collateral for national solvency. Pakistan is trading warhead silos for currency reserves. The market signal is clear: sovereignty now has a liquidity price.
