After 22 months, exports tumble 24pc in July

Famous last words!

To sum up the reply to your comment, I will just say...because the fundamentals haven't changed.

The rupee strenghening, or the rupee weakening for that matter, had nothing to do with fundamentals.

As long as the fundamentals don't change, nothing will change.

You can put a blanket ban on imports and do a press conference that I restricted imports to 20% of their value last month, but that is not an achievement, that's shameful.



True that.

I wish somebody came in who taxed retailers at the actual value of their income and sales through a computerized and digital manner, rather than having a blanket fixed tax based on electricity usage just so they can keep their voter base happy!

You don't need a 2/3 majority for structural reforms just my 2 cents. Anyways yai mulk aesay hi boom bust pai chalay ga

Dont forget Eid came during this time period too, there was widespread loadshedding and raw material imports were hurdled by difficulties in opening LCs. APTMA warned about this.
