🇵🇰Pakistan's crypto mining plan hits roadblock as IMF pushes back🏄🦚
🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🚀The federal government has failed to get approval from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a plan to provide 2,000 megawatts of electricity at subsidised rates for Bitcoin mining✅.
🇵🇰Sources in the Power Division said the government presented this plan to the IMF in negotiations three times, but failed to convince the global financial institution🌹.
🚀The IMF argued that past experiences of providing cheap electricity under industrial status did not yield positive results and such concessions end up becoming a form of “tax holiday.”🚀
🇵🇰It raised concerns about the government’s strategy, questioning: if this electricity is provided at subsidised rates, what will be the plan to later sell the same electricity at market rates?🔥
🇵🇰Sources revealed that the government has also shared this presentation with the World Bank and other tripartite donors in an attempt to persuade the IMF🎉.
🇵🇰The government plans to offer electricity at up to Rs 24 per unit for Bitcoin mining, while currently, the country has a surplus of 7,000 megawatts of electricity, of which 2,000 megawatts are being considered for allocation to crypto mining.✅
🇵🇰The government maintains that the project could bring foreign exchange into the country and efforts are ongoing to convince the IMF to approve the proposal🇵🇰🎉🦚🏄#pakcryptocouncil #PCCLeadership #IMF #CryptoNews #OneBigBeautifulBill ✅🌹✅🌹✅🌹✅🚀✅🌹✅🌹✅🌹✅🚀✅🌹✅$ETH
