Bostan has also stated on several occasions that the Forex Association of Pakistan can provide the government with $1 billion per month for the next two years. He stated that the association’s proposals include removing the requirement to provide CNIC for sales and purchases of up to $15,000. Other measures to ease restrictions on the forex trade market have also been proposed by the association.

Bostan has also stated that all of the association’s proposals are feasible and will ensure that Pakistan no longer requires the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
