From a purely investment point of view, investment in property in Pakistan doesn’t make sense. You’ve got currency devaluation at alarming rate. From a personal/ retirement perspective, as you said, the generations after the migrated parents, do not want to be associated with Pakistan. More so...

The Pakistan today is a result of Establishment’s ivy league management over decades. The result is for all of us to see.

I think its fair to say the Establishment, Bhutto and Mujeeb had played a major role in 1971 debacle. Mujeeb won the elections fair and square and yet Bhutto was adamant ither hum uther tum. Bhutto got hanged eventually on some pretext, good riddance. Should have been hanged on treason charges...

Asim probably said. Saudis have been told to set aside $25 bn (jaise ke MBS inke baap ka naukar hai) 10,000 jobs will be created. You get duty free tax facility. Make sure your employees come into tax net. For you guys its okay. Buy the DHA properties and get water from tanker mafia...

Happens all the time. Who’d be dumb to park all the money in PKR.

Most of my extended family have been sending their savings to UAE, initially to park their income in AED and then investments in properties and setting up family offices there. Over time, they’ll be making move to shift their family. And finally the connection to Pakistan will be completely...

When you have the ilk rising to the top, this is what happens. The establishment has no one to blame but themselves.

Duffer said ‘mai $25bn laonga Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait se’

What is stopping Pakistan army to conduct drone strikes against targets inside Afghanistan? When its clear as daylight that Taliban are assisting TTP, why is there no message being sent? There are options. From direct strikes on TTP’s interests to suspension of Afghan transit trade to...

Alot of business men have been sending money to UAE to buy properties. I guess they know parking their savings in UAE property or in AED is a better option than keeping a property in Pakistan or saving in PKR.

Can you guys tell me whether these folks are Bad Taliban or Good Taliban or Neutral Taliban?

Get a St Keith passport and residence in UAE. If finance allows.

What happened to Roosevelt hotel?

Tell me one thing. If TTP is khwariji, Indian sponsored, terrorists, add all the colorful adjectives here. What is Taliban? Good guys? I can’t wrap my head around this narrative of the Pakistani security apparatus.

This is funny.

Not perfect but GDP growth of 5%+, exports $27bn+, forex reserves $20bn+, remittances $31bn+, FDI $2bn+, budget deficit 6% of GDP, inflation below 10%, health card, ehsaas program in the midst of Covid and commodity super cycle. Will take that any day.

I like WSK. Alot of his comments make sense. Also the fact that he was a faujeet once upon a time like the most of us.

I don’t think that is true. Looks more like Pakistan’s security is tied to Saudi dollars. Only leverage Pakistan has to getting investment is to use the nuclear blackmail card but that would be an extremely irresponsible thing to do.

Considering Rs has taken a beating, why would the export pipeline stop? No prior investment in machinery? Inherent stability in Pakistan and foreigners wouldn’t want to do anything with Pakistan? Cost of inputs becoming very high?

Reports of Sugar mafia doing their thing during PDM have been surfacing right under Asim’s nose. They ain’t that bright. The likes of Zardaris will run circles around them.
