I think the only argument against Dar is he burned foreign reserves to maintain strength of PKR. The Indian Finance Ministry very recently announced another 200 Billion USD to support INR. There are times when countries have to make efforts to maintain their currencies and start of CPEC was...
It is surprising that the year 2017 is missing from the list which was Dar's last year as Finance Minister. Must I remind you that I speak exclusively of Dar's term and not that of PML overall? I repeatedly, at the sake of repetition, use Dar as the benchmark and he resigned in 2017 after which...
Miftah raised prices but his 2 month wait cost massive damage to the rupee and to the economy? Had he done that immediately after assuming office, he could have saved the country a few hundred Billion and he would have been able to lower the rate at which it eventually had to be increased the...
Perhaps you should consider Moody's ratings, Fitch's ratings, IMF's and World Bank's take on Pakistan's financial situation under Dar and then compare it to any of PTI's Finance Ministers or PTI's years or even that of Miftah.....the ratings under Dar were all in the + sphere as per all...
Me: Imran Khan lied about funds collected from foreign sources:
PTI Supporters: But others did that too......
Me: But Imran Khan repeatedly lies about almost everything and then justifies it with some nonsense later on
PTI Supporters: But others do that too......
Me: Imran Khan said would...
I have been more critical of Miftah than anyone here, why you and many others consider me a PML supporter is just beyond my understanding or any reasoning.
My take on taxation is that we have to force people to pay taxes because they are not used to paying taxes. Even the poorest earning...
Well, we will find out within a few weeks to a few months how the remittances turn out, even though remittances were up in June.
As for the last part of your post, firstly I can only speak for myself and secondly, should I not have been speaking about the deteriorating condition of the economy...
It is shameful that people like Shahid Latif make bold claims and belittle jets such as Rafale which is considered one of the best 4.5++ Gen Jet of the century, He could rather focus on the positives of Thunders but trying to belittle top of the line French technology which is considered best of...
Please see the facts above. During Eid times, people send more remittances for their families and hence the spike during the months leading up to Eid-ul-Fitr; a small increase in remittances is also a natural occurrence during Eid-ul-Adha. However, there is a drop immediate thereafter and after...
Is it sufficient to say that Miftah is even more retarded than PTI Finance Ministers? And that Miftah + Shahbaz Sharif are perhaps even worse than Tarin + Imran Khan?
Hopefully, this official data from SBP will shut your trap:
And for the complete picture for yearly comparison:
Remittances during the month of June 2022 were 2.76 Billion USD after USD 2.33 Billion in May which is generally the pattern after every Eid as is the pattern that remittances increase from average which was the case during months building up to Eid.
I was quite happy to let @Wood educate you on fiscal matters but just had to step in and correct your dumb rhetoric; overseas Pakistanis do not send money to Pakistan out of love for Pakistan but because it feeds their families back home! It is not like they are out there trying to do Pakistan...
That should be the case for all politicians, if they need security then they should be charged for all official security and protocol services; otherwise they are welcome to leave politics and join a 9-5 job. We would probably save hundreds of billions of rupees. Besides, it's not like most of...
I do plead ignorance as your warning to me is out in the open but not to anyone else who literally have posts just 1-2 posts above mine.
As I said, you can visit most of my posts and I generally ignore insults; it is just a couple of persistent abusers who require a dose of their own medicine...
Exactly, the won't help themselves but will actively criticize those who do!
Don't you think that the US has a sway over IMF when 70% of funds available with IMF is from the US and US holds the power to appoint many of the board members and the chairperson?
I seriously do not wish to use terms like 'imrandoo' or 'youthia' or 'quom-e-youth' etc., and I only very rarely respond and that too when some members repeatedly call me a 'patwari'. However, it is sad that you particularly chose to target me, after a bit of discussion on PTI's performance and...
@imrandoo extreme; you obviously cannot begin to answer factually but as you are trained in the art of deception and lies, I am sure you will manufacture something!
Imrandoo unable to understand how 12% of GDP too could be achieved, let alone 6%, on the back of massive borrowing but one which would eventually cripple the economy and the country! And hence cannot understand how much of a difference additional debt of 20,000 BILLION Rupees has made in a mere...
These stats and arguments weren't really meant for you, they were for a blind political follower.
Anyway, I would say that taking things out of context is quite wily, almost bordering deception. However, knowing well that you do not know the context of the entire argument which has been raging...
