Islamabad: The Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ICCI) has expressed great concerns over the rising debt of the federal government, which has soared to Rs23.7 trillion during the first eleven month of the current fiscal year and called upon the government to evolve a comprehensive new strategy in consultation with all stakeholders to curb the rising debt as further increase in debt would jeopardize the economic future of the country and bring more problems to the general public.
