text: PAKISTAN ON THE VERGE OF DEFAULT: In the midst of political unrest and a caretaker government, Pakistan’s rupee plummeted to a new low of 225 per dollar, a 25% drop in the first half of this year. Despite an agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a restructured $1.17 billion bailout package Fitch Ratings revised Pakistan’s sovereign debt from stable to negative. Pakistan’s Secretary-General of Exchange Companies stated Wednesday “There is panic in the market, I fear the rupee will go down further.” (AC: Pakistan has nearly depleted its foreign reserves and has a massive sovereign debt load similar to its South Asia neighbor Sri Lanka. The country is also grappling with a 22% inflation rate and rising food and fuel prices. Political turmoil began anew after deposed former Prime Minister Imran Khan called for early elections in an attempt to regain power in Islamabad. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is also dealing with a burgeoning Islamic extremist insurgency, which is covertly supported by elements of its security services. Political turmoil and infighting in government could increase the chances that radical elements will seize power in Islamabad and, along with it, control of the nation’s nuclear arsenal. – M.M.)LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT INTSUMDenver, COSize: TBDActivity: Far Left activists coordinate a protest for police shooting victims in Denver on Sunday, July 17.
