A news can turn down world economy .. in today's world a twit can do it. But that has to be impactful. I am not saying there in no oil discovery. I wish there is big one which may help general population. But relying on speculation will blind you from finding true solution. USD is going to get...

That will have little or no short term to mid term effect. To realize those reserves one have wait for 2-3 years at least. Meanwhile pray for oil price to stay above $55 to keep it profitable enough that companies will invest billions

Let's reverse your argument. Why a new power center gets created? When there is a true vacuum. Check past two decades of political history in Pakistan. It has been blamed game on previous government either military or civilian. The current one will come and has an intent to only make money and...

Won't this increase corruption? Buy from bank and sell it in open market?

Good point. The only way it is possible when companies get more incentives (tax, a respite from labor laws, etc.) than current manufacturing locations. A good example is Boeing's North Carolina plan when they had everything in Washinton state. GOP should show more aggressive posture while luring...

It can be only feasible when they eye for the export market. In the current world environment, there are many countries which are marketing themselves as manufacturing paradise. Pakistan should come up with a scheme where export only industries get tax free environment with special treatment...

We have many chines vegan and vegetarian restaurants in our area. They offer good food and most of them are operated by family so they provide nice vibes.

Isn't this blackmailing? Money is given by hard-working taxpayers of Pakistan and burden of any (bad) deal is an entire population for generation or two. Why not supreme body on land which is elected by people can discuss it? GOP should show muscles of people's verdict and discuss it in...

How much that stuff ended outside CPEC projects? Another scandal in making.

Unless no multinational is involved you can give it free if you want. But most of time that is not a case. two points here -- 1. You don't have the domestic production capacity to satisfy 100% local demand. You still import lot os natural gas. No increasing price means the government is...

multiple sports can survive in a big country like Pakistan. There are enough people to play most of the sports. It is for an education system to pay attention to it from the start and government to stop corruption in each and every sports institute. In India, there was a very high level of...

Agree this is failed policy of last 5 years. Why they never let the price float with international pricing?

IMF is one factor. But at large it is a policy of last 4-5 years which is biting you. When GOP restricted PKR's natural devaluation for a long time and wasted USD to do so. along with it they kept importing things to fulfill their eye candy projects and gave benefits to companies working on...

That is an incorrect assumption from many angles. First one can pay internal debt like this. But that is taking money out of circulation and depriving economy for cash flow. Again so-called big fishes have their money tied to stocks and properties. Valuation of those assets is based on demand...

Russia can gain same access via Iran. That route also goes from Afghanistan. They are trying to reduce American influence for while now by supporting Syrian government and Iran. But they won't have much success beyond this. Maybe Pakistan rollover but that's all. Here they are trying to get some...

I feel Russia is working here in the interest of India. India is energy hungry and USA pressure won't work when we are dealing with Iran. Even during sections, we were second-biggest import market for Iranian oil. India backed out from IPI due to other reasons. Russia is using Pakistan's newly...

Reason India stops perusing IPI was this. Pakistan cares about leverage more than business. Just think about energy crisis you had for past 3 years. It would have been shortened due to IPI. Keep thinking about leverage ...

If it is machinery, it is 1000 of different types. For e.g. for textiles, there are few dozens of different types of machines same applies to power generators and heavy machinery. If you divide them into different categories you will see there are few hundred suppliers if not thousands. Most of...

Not really. It does not make sense for foreign companies to shift product in Pakistan unless Pakistan offers bigger market (multiple times than current) or has export potential. For exporting #1,#2 and #7 on your list is difficult because of China and few other countries has the stronghold on...
