Is Nawaz Government going to freeze Curreny Accounts?

Our reserves are already as low as 3B $ which is hardly sufficient for 3-4 weeks of imports. our banks are crumbling and infact will crumble if the things are not amended. Dollar has already crossed 110.

I think there is a real possibility that Nawaz government freezes the Foreign Currency accounts as they did in 1998 last time. Protect the accounts people.


Moreover I want to ask, is there any chance that if we fall further below that the commercial banks also get doomed? Should we save the money in these banks?

It is a serious blunder to keep foreign currency deposits in the banks in Pakistan. If any foreign currency account holder hasn't got a painful lesson in '98, then he/she would get this time ;)

Hope that helps.


I recently opened up an account in Pakistan to bring money in from overseas for investment purposes. I did discuss this with one of my friends who is a bank manager. He told me Nawaz Sharif did it before and he may do it again since the situation is looking bleak, so I ended up opening rupee account instead of dollar account
