PTI government’s big economic success
Shares
ISLAMABAD - Bearing the fruit of the unprecedented efforts of the incumbent government, the circular debt in the power sector has been reduced by 32% last year to 68% since the PTI government took over.
The government is committed to eliminating the circular debt completely by the next financial year, say the officials.
Technically, circular debt is the non-payment by the power purchaser for the generation of electricity. This non-payment can be due to several reasons. These include inefficiency in distribution companies, distribution losses, and theft. Actually, the government provides subsidy to the consumers of electricity. The subsidy that is not performance-based adds to the circular debt crisis. ENJOYING THE BLOG? CHECK THESE TOO. link

Low payments by the distribution companies give rise to the low payments to the generators of the electricity. If electricity generators are underpaid then they’ll neglect to pay their fuel suppliers and exacerbates the circular debt.

The circular debt which was rising by an amount of 38 billion rupees every month is reduced to 26billion rupees. This gruesome amount will further decrease to 8 billion rupees by the end of June 2020 and a consistent plan has been made for timely action and monitoring of debt payments, Jahangir Tareen previously told.
By the end of the next fiscal year, a regular increase in the circular debt that continued to rise in the last three decades will be brought to zero, he added.
