Foreign exchange reserves dropped from $48 billion in 2021 to around $20 billion, or less than three months' imports; foreign debt doubled since 2016 to $100 billion, with debt servicing that will hit $3.56 billion. Crony capitalism, rampant corruption, and a huge capital flight led to the banking sector being left in disarray, with non-performing loans constituting 10.11 percent of the total, and a liquidity crisis led to the halting of bank transactions on several occasions.
