Pakistan Economy: News & Discussion

[Azaad]

Agricultural land are controlled by Zamindaar and establishments, Here they have inflated incomes.

No they don't have inflated incomes or growth. The only reason they're reporting a growth in agriculture is coz inflating numbers there is easier as compared to say mfg where most of the input output & causation like electricity as well as outcomes like exports can be easily obtained & tabulated & the reason for all this financial jugglery is to show the world especially their awam that the gravy train called Paxtan is actually progressing.

is it the case that these mass afghan deportations had a stabilising effect on paki economy?
from the outside it looks like, their economic freefall got arrested after deportations started happening. one of the reasons, will not be the only reason.

may be this also partially explains why their power consumption is falling YoY.

Will the move have a stabilizing effect on Paki economy at all?

Pakistan may risk losing NWFP entirely after the transfer of undocumented Afghans is complete. Tough & too early to call it but if Balochis and Afghans team up, its curtains for CPEC from Gwadar to Gilgit.

indepth analysis is for paki gormint to do.

what was their primary concern since chini virus, it was uncontrolled high inflation. one of the reasons for high inflation is that supply is unable match demand. by mass deporting afghans, presumption is that there is bound to be reduction effect on demand. there by effect on inflation.

10 lakh population is size of a small city, within a span of a year a small sized city is not consuming electricity, water, vegetable, rice, wheat, petrol, diesel etc.
