*CORRECTION: Pakistan 31s trade at 68 cash px, not 61, as Riz incorrectly referenced in the podcast.

For this special flash podcast, Riz (Head of Sales) and Musti (Team Lead - Institutional Sales), sit down for an off the cuff conversation amid the ongoing elections in Pakistan. They provide on the ground insights from family and friends in Pakistan; Musti sheds light on the ballot casting process, the likely composition of the next administration, the influence of the army over politics, and economics. Rizwan delves into Pakistan’s hard currency bonds, discussing historical performance and providing his views on how they will trade in the coming days as the political parties seek to form a new government.
