PRIOR to that can pakis afford a war?
looks like they are itching for one on the IB
But why IB and why now ? The timing is just awful. Exit polls here and devaluation there, what are they thinking ? Every move has a motive and we should figure it out.

With pakistan India wont fall back on the NO FIRST USE POLICY!

I hope the CBU-105 we tested ysterday is for the 300 odd pakistani tanks(sitting ducks) at NAHI
Right now pakis weak spot is economy. Bleed them economically, push them in arms race. Rumor is that pakis may try Indian type demonetisation to stabilize economy. Why waste ammo on nation which is ready to implode from within?

We should temporarily increase our defense budget or procure 3-4 critical systems that imbalances equilibrium. Let's decide on rest of single engine mmrca.

To weaken Pakistan, one should target fuel dumps and power stations, forget about attacking army, police or hotel.

Expensive proposition . Why not give missiles to your soldiers ? Unless you intend to start attrition in depth.

You are talking like India is par with Japan or Germany in economy,We have lot of poor people than the entire BD population.

Anyway,If India want to help neighbors then help --Nepal,Bhutan,SL&Burma.
Sure!!!

But

India is soon to be a 400 lakh crore economy even without current Pakistan textile export revenue estimated around 60000 crores INR, so I say think a long game.

At some point our MEA needs to learn to play such games. all big economies over the past century did not just grow on their own merit, they also played their games by undercutting their adversaries directly or indirectly.

USA-Saudi-Iran
Britain-India-Pakistan
Etc etc

IMF deal still hasn’t been signed but already State Bank of Pakistan along with their government has to take some PRIOR steps. Non intervention in the forex market is one such measure. That’s why the rupee is on the slide. Also yesterday they increase the interest rates by 150 basis points during the monetary policy which earlier was supposed to have been announced at the end of this month. Rest of the measures they have to take in the coming budget where they have to raise 700 billion rupees worth extra taxes have to be raised on 11 June. All these PRIOR measures will be taken even though the deal will be signed end June when the IMF board will clear the deal
That's not a reasonable explanation at all!
The decline in Paki Rupee has been happening for the last 8+ months when Pakis had officially claimed that they will NOT go to IMF; and even when they were talking with IMF Pakis had stubbornly held out that they reserve the right to intervene in currency markets!
The so called 'prior' steps (even if there are any) would only come into place after the terms of the deal were sealed (that happened very recently, while the Paki Rupee has been declining from long before).

As such, the logical explanation is that Pakis didn't have the money at hand to intervene in the currency markets, thus resulting in Rupee decline (even though they've been arguing to retain their right to do so)

Trust me there are indeed PRIOR steps which Pakistan has been forced to take after the in principle agreement with IMF concluded on 12may. The latest cycle to devaluation which has started from 15may just after the deal has been totally different from past devaluations. All the past devaluations were done in a stroke on a single day by State bank of Pakistan. However since 15 may the rupee has been going down every single day as now State bank of Pakistan has been forced not to intervene.
As per currency traders in the past every day State Bank of Pakistan would call the forex traders and used to give them a range between which rupee would move and the traders accordingly would trade between this range. On 15may when they checked with State bank for guidance they were told that now onwards there would be no range.
On 15 may when rupee devalued to 145 Imran khan called a meeting with forex traders and told them not to devalue and that he would form a committee I look into angle of speculation. Immediately that evening IMF questioned Imran Khan since under the deal concluded on the 12 may State bank will no longer intervene. Not for any reason IMF has brought its Egypt country manager Dr. Reza bakir to head the State bank of Pakistan so that the bank assumes it’s independence.
Is it a coincidence that monetary policy which was supposed to be announced on 31may was advanced to 20may and in that steep hike of interest rate to 12.25 was done. Why was it done when the inflation in Pakistan is around 7.5. Why to have a real interest rate premium of 4.75. This is because IMF knows that Imran would be taking steps PRIOR steps in which the rates of utilities will go up. Already the gas companies rates is expected to go up by further 50%. Further Pakistan has to raise fresh taxes of over 700 billion. All this is going to bring a tsunami of inflation and that’s why already interest rates are up. Why would dr. Reza in his monetary policy going to bring an inflation of 16 percent in next fiscal.
IMF has also asked Pakistan to bring a certificate of roll over of loans of around 9.2 billion which it took from UAE, Saudia and China by one more year. If Pakistan is able to achieve these prior steps loan will be submitted to imf board at the end of June for approval.
Pakistan’s hands are tied and it is forced to take all these steps. All this is common knowledge and is there every where on Pakistan media. I am a keen watcher of their current affairs programs on you tube and there is a method to the madness we are seeing in Pakistan at the moment.

That's a long post.....but proves nothing!

No one's arguing that Pakis right to intervene in currency markets has been stripped by the IMF!

But the larger point still remains valid that Pakis HAD NO MONEY TO INTERVENE (even if they desire to). The proof is amply available when anyone (who cares) looks at the PKR devaluation over time! And not to mention - a look at available liquidity with Pakis! They virtually HAD NO MONEY!

Despite your fetish for Paki news shows, you haven't understood something fundamental! Paki government just doesn't 'dictate to currency traders' on what the PKR value should be.....it fixes the PKR value by 'pouring Paki govt money into buying dollars in open market'. The currency traders are merely agents! So, think logically! IMF deal or no IMF deal, where is the money with Paki govt to indulge in the luxury of buying USD in open market (to fix PKR)???
(Pakis used to spend $8 Billion a year just to prop up PKR)
