Pmln left almost 20 billion dollars CAD, and exports fell to around 24 billion dollars instead of going up.
PMLN left around 9 billion total reserves in the State Bank. We were near default on payments because we didn’t have enough foreign exchange to make those payments.
50 billion dollars more imports than exports? Can you give me details of it?
