Pakistan on the Verge of Economic Collapse, Risks of Conflict

With an extensive nuclear infrastructure and a large army, the collapse of Pakistan's economy could have dire impacts in the region - threating conflict between nuclear states.

Pakistan’s current state of economic and humanitarian crisis has been the cause of widespread concern in the world.

This is particularly concerning since it is the world’s fifth most populous country and the second-largest Muslim country.
