Najeeb argues that with high inflation, slow growth and high interest rates around the world, there is less money available for emerging markets like Pakistan, and that without the IMF's “stamp of approval” even friendly Gulf kingdoms will remain shy of investing in the country.


Friendly countries too want to see reforms in Pakistan, however this time they are going for an investment model as opposed to previously when they would simply deposit a few billion dollars in Pakistan's state bank. This might turn out to be better for the country,” Najeeb told MEE.

What to reform and what follows that?
Kamal Alam told MEE that it was “very obvious” that “the delay in implementing IMF reforms is because the political elite wants to avoid them - deep-set corruption in government is at the heart of it.”

Alam said that a culture of “zero accountability has completely wrecked trust in Pakistani leadership, at home and abroad”.

Pakistan is ranked 140 on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for 2022, not a favourable ranking, Alam said, if the country wants to attract foreign investment.

Najeeb, who worked in government, said that just attracting foreign investment will not solve Pakistan's problems in the long-term and that the country needs to expand its tax base and improve tax collection.

“Pakistan's agriculture sector contributes 23 percent of total GDP, while tax collection across the sector is very poor,” he said. “Similarly Pakistan's retail and real estate sectors also contribute heavily to the GDP but almost completely avoid taxation.”

The Saudis are also unhappy with the way Islamabad is behaving these days, said Umar Karim.

“The current prime minister has a 77-member ministerial cabinet, the largest in the world; they all receive full perks and privileges. Why would the Saudis help you if you continue to afford yourself such luxuries while they are putting themselves through a cost-cutting drive?” he told MEE.

Karim believes the Saudis are interested in investing in Pakistan's energy sector - both fossil fuels and renewables – and that they are also interested in investing in the country's booming IT sector. But this investment, he said, would only happen after Pakistan implemented economic reforms.

While Pakistan is besotten with a crippling power crisis, Saudi investment in the renewable energy sector could be crucial. A 2020 report from the World Bank suggests Pakistan has immense potential for generating power through solar energy.

“Utilising just 0.071 percent of the country's area for solar power generation would meet Pakistan's current electricity demand,” the report said.

In 2019, however, the Saudi government expressed interest in setting up an oil refinery and in making other investments totalling $10bn in Pakistan. But, Najeeb said, Pakistan would need to “revamp its board of investment” and bring in “specialist human resources and incentives” in order to take advantage of this opening.

The former finance ministry adviser said that a reset in relations with Saudi Arabia would be good for Pakistan and could prove to be a wake-up call.

For Pakistan, the days of easy money are over.
Saudis asking for an economic reform is not a good thing. Pakistan might be forced to get their act together which could benefit them long term.

I won't be afraid of the pakis getting their long-term game in order because the long-term goal of Pakistan as a state which is embedded into their wider cultural memes and their constitution and their stated creation myth is :
1. to serve as an incubator for fundamental pure Islam in the Indian subcontinent.
2. to serve as the support arm for the internal fundamental Muslims inside India.
3. to act as a stable reserve of fundamental Muslims to spread islam in the continent in the near future.

any deviation that is noticeable in the wider culture from these aims, will trigger massive and swift social upheaval and protests, riots, assassinations, etc which we know fundamental Islam fully endorses and empowers each and every Islamic follower to do. this means that the reforms which are actually important such as mass no of women in the workplace, tech-centric economy-oriented people, and the related educational institution logistics, the infrastructure required in many places will not take place even if there is will among the elites. the jahil awaam syndrome of the pakis is very sustainable. they are already at around 50% literacy in their own low standards. now with these economic and social and political crises, they will the tiny no of actual qualified people stuck in the sea of inbred idiots leave the country and the low iq dimwits will still keeping breeding.

there is no way that pakis are going toescape this black hole in the long term without destroying the very idea of pakistan and that is why as Bharat we must focus more on our internal enemies and destroy them as pakistan are already on a timer.

Agreed.

There's 0% chance of reform happening in Pakistan. If they even try to moderate, the radical mullas will burn the country down. They'll get enough support from the Talibs for it.

The Pak elite knows it, which is why every single General escapes Pak after his tenure ends.

I think Pakistan is well beyond the point where any kind of economic reform would work. Pakistan's case is very similar to Egypt in that the Military pretty much has a hand in every industry from textiles and real estate to automobiles and agriculture. Any real reform would mean the army having to give up massive amounts of power which wont happen without some kind of a revolution/civil war.

The current situation in Pakistan is similar to the Arab spring era in Middle east where anti establishment movements tried to take over. Muslim Brotherhood took control in Egypt but they only lasted for 2 years, soon military launched a successful coup.

pajeets do really have sub-82 IQ.....how can these idiots forget 26/11, Uri, Pathankot, and the way Hindus are being treated in Porkistan??
Guys, most of the Hindus aren't speaking English and watching podcasts like these. It's a self selecting bunch. Most Hindu Indians give Pakistan gaalis and would nuke them given a chance.

Ramadan within few days



A 6.6 earthquake becomes 7.7 in Pakistan. If there was a 7.7 earthquake, nothing would be standing in Pakistan. Everything is either a begging or boasting competition. Turkey had a large quake, so Pakistanis want one too....Floods in Pakistan are larger & more long lasting than any other, including biblical floods. Their losses from terrorism are always nice round figures, 100000 dead (including militants), $150 billion loss....etc .
Complete nutters....

Same Economist article without Paywall:


And now the WSJ surprises too, though they are not as anti Hindu as NYT, BBC and WaPo. Excellent reader comments. Sort by popularity.
