Pakistan relies lot on massive aid (not loans) from the USA. What is the advantage of such a currency swap to Sri Lanka. It look like the beggars soup.

currency swap is like you transfer the ownership of a variable interest loan to a fixed interest loan and vise versa...the public should know the reality..uneducated people from rural areas think this is a Bid deal and people will benefit....if currency swaptions go wrong it'll result like hedging where either we lose or gain...sometime both part gains.
