  1. The increase of $ 4 million in the reserves of the State Bank of Pakistan is a good news for Pakistan, but now the State Bank of Pakistan will have to keep this money safe from the Pakistani Army. The Pakistan Army can take this money of the SBP at any time and can use it in the development of its weapons. Or maybe this money can be used to spread terrorism in neighboring countries. In fact, Pakistanis should worry more about increasing their foreign reserves than how to save their money from the Pakistani army.
