Pak per capita income drops thanks to Imported mismanagement


Pakistan's per capita GDP is horrible; Pak is poorer than Nigeria, Benin, Cameroon, Congo and even Zimbabwe. ZImbabwe is considered an economically failed state, but it still richer than Pakistan. Pakistan has managed to maintain a high standard of living based on loans. Now that China wants it's money back, Pakistan is going to suffer for decades. Saudis used to write-off debt, China will not let Pak get away without paying every single dollar back with interest. The biggest problem is that when China comes knocking on the door for cash, KPK, Balochistan, Kashmir and may be even Sindh would not want to pay it back and put the blame on Punjab. Why should they suffer because Punjabis decided to take bad loans in the name of CPEC? The only way for them to avoid paying back debts for generations would be to secede from Pakistan, this would be disastrous. Let Punjab pay back CPEC loans for generations.

Pakistan is already poorer than Sub-Saharan africa, it's going to get Somalia level poor in coming decades. Pak's economy is stagnant and shrinking and population is rising at 2% every year, that means GDP per capita drops more than 2% every year, becomes half of present in less than 15 years. Pakistan is already food-scarce nation, it is having to import even staple foods like wheat. How will it finance it's wheat imports when GDP per capita becomes half and Pakistan imports more than a third of it's wheat consumption? The number just don't add up.
