Abstract: Strangely �to go or not to go to the IMF� continues to dominate the economic debate in Pakistan. All manner of statements have come out of the economic leaders in the government and their advisers. �We don�t need to go to the IMF if we ban importing luxury items.� �We can borrow our way out of our problems for our problems are only current financing.� �With borrowing, IMF will reduce any conditions.� These statements merely show the lack of understanding of the role of the IMF.
