What's new

No Pakistani General has ever succeeded; not will Asim Munir!

The coup mongers never succeed for it destroys the discipline and motivation within the army for the coups create treachery, cliques, dishonesty, dichotomy etc. which takes away the Khair from HIM, so leaving them to the Sher...

Six centuries old Ottoman Jihan Devlet was lost in six years by the coup mongers....

Asim Munir - the finance guarantor.
How? If the ports (and other assets being sold) are not more productive with the investment, they will end up like the CPEC projects; underutilized and not turning a profit, but actually slowing down natural growth.

The revenue cannot be guaranteed, otherwise we would have easily been able to pay back the CPEC loans. Only the international customers buying Pakistani products will determine what revenues Pakistan can generate.

Along with the investment the investors will have to line up ways for the privatized enterprises to earn revenues, but these may come at the expense of long held national interests.

UAE based investors (with ties to India) may ask Pakistan to do certain thing or not do certain things that potentially undermine national sovereignty, and undermine the viability of our other industrial enterprises by favoring the source of key parts of our industries from India, making us beholden to them for basic needs.

An alternative is asking if there is an alternative way to seek $10 billion a year in investment from the diaspora and finding our what their demands would be (beyond just elections). It could be a virtuous cycle, where the profits are not withdrawn from the country but reinvest over and over again. This also does not prevent GCC investment, but gives the Pakistani government more leverage to negotiate better terms for the investment they want to make, such as instead of PIA being completely sold off, it could be made a partner budget airline of a GCC carrier like Qatar Airways.

It also doesn’t have to be rocket science. Overseas Pakistani investing in their own agricultural land to increase crop yields, or buying out IPPs to renegotiate power prices and being compensated by the government with land in desirable places to form residential apartment blocks in a walkable, clean, lively, and secure neighborhood (something like Barcelona and not massive skyscrapers).
