Pakistan’s trade deficit widens to $22b in FY15

Pakistan should opt for a FM like Dr. Man Mohan Singh, who can define a road map for its economy for next 10 to 15 years. it has to reduce the total dependence on CPEC for its economy to recover. moreover aids from U.S.,Saudis and other agencies should be curtailed asap.
It should start its Gas Line project with Iran without any delay and in the meanwhile buy electricity from SAARC nations till it becomes self sufficient in producing its energy needs.
Pakistan should focus on Export of agri products, textile and IT services which has potential to be at par with the best in the world.
Good Luck and Eid Mubarak :enjoy:
 
Wow and N-leaguers here were telling me that NS is good for economy of the country....If this is good what is their idea of bad? :unsure:

Sadly, all they do is build roads, motorways, highways, metro, buses. Basically anything to do with roads.
This is all they know and this is all they will focus on.

one of Pakistani news channel was saying that In Pakistan every govt make roads to fool people. Roads are directly visible to people and people think that nation is growing and govt is doing job.
None of the Pakistani govt did not concentrate on growing industries etc.

hence why I say they should be made the motorway minister or something nothing higher than that ....coz they cant comprehend nor can they do anything more than that

jhon f kennedy once said .."its not our wealth that built our roads , but its our roads that built our wealth"

sadly some ignorant fools here won't understand it as for them melodrama & antics will make more stronger impression , don't forget poor people also get jobs when such infra projects are started.

For me imran khan is just another kejriwal .

Those projects have to serve practical purposes and not just built to provide money to poor people. That's socialism and it never works.

Sadly some ignorant fools here quote random lines instead of looking at real problems.

Pakistan needs infrastructure, but there are many other problems facing Pakistan, not just transport.
 
People shd realize what our deficit would have been if Oil prices hadnt dropped 50% this year.. This deficit would have been must worse
But Alas keep the loans coming, who cares if future govts wont be able to repay.
Pakistan Economic Vision 2030: Greece
 
Soo management is everything? What the party does is oblivious to people...Now that is really some jahil thinking :agree:

Imran Khan PTI amateurs in power - total anarchy and mismanagement which would make PPP time in office seem like heaven. :lol:

Bullsh!t, Pakistan isn't a socialist or communist country, where the the center makes the orders and exports. Then again... most of the Parliamentarians are the industrial and landowners..

But this is poor management on the behalf of Pakistan's Embassy Economic Attaches. How me 1 economic attache that did a convention in the host nation and i'll show you 10 attaches that have done nothing. On top of that I'll explain to you how easy it is to get a visa to Pakistan even though the policies state the visa process can take no less than 1 week.

Free trade is not the way to go. For essential commodities, perhaps yes. But otherwise, absolutely not.
..
South Korea did it in the 70s. Look at their manufacturing sector now. Exporting high-end technological products to the world. India's done it for selective industries such as automobiles too. 30 years on their automobile industry's world-class.

S. Korea also had a beneficial dictator. Who also had the willpower to crack down on the feudal lords.

Pakistan's Second Five Year Economic Plan was copied by S. Korea and look at them now. Is what you're post should say. Do you honestly believe with a what ?40%? literacy rate among Pakistanis who also have memory loss will realize that the politicians they have elected should be thrown out?

Free Trade only works in a North-South Economic States. The North being Economically developed and the South not so much. That's why the EU worked in the beginning. You had German exports made in Romania that are guaranteed to have the similar quality controls as any German product made in Germany.

Child can you please read what you quoted and tell me what I wrote and how different is it from what you wrote?

Do keep in mind I was answering to someone's claim....
 
Its a surprise trade deficit increasing instead of being decreasing on account of falling crude prices and oil prices are expected to fall further
