@SBD-3 @farhan_9909 i am not economist but i can say this is not miracle and planning of Gov,but falling oil prices have there 90 %role Gov is earning a lot from oil,compare price with Intl market.Govt has done nothing solid to eliminate corruption in PIA and steel mill.

There is no price drop on commodities in Canada in last 60 months, we use oil too
First you say this is the miracle of falling oil prices then you say prices have not fallen much. Govt is not earning as much on oil even with higher GST on low oil prices as compared to lower GST on higher oil prices. Pakistan Rupee is stable and that has most to do with falling prices. Canadian Dollars as fallen quite a bit compared to Pak Rupee in last 6 months.

that 16.4 billion was without IMF.

That was because of 2 billions by KSA and lot of internal external debate.

This must be the $2 billion miracle of the century (was 1.5)
if 1.5 billion can do this much good for economy, we should go for another 1.5

cost depends on needs, when your reserves are down to 3 billion then you dont have the luxury to look at the cost

Needs here refers to unnecessary protocols of government officials who sleep and do nothing all day? In addition to getting free homes, cars, drivers and maids and free get out of jail passes if their kids shoot around?

How about cutting those costs? Most institutes or even most jobs have more bureaucracy ladders than need be...chuck them out ...do a whole bottom up clean up we wont need donations as much as we do now!

P/s: Every govt on the planet has a backup plan or a plan to generate revenue instead of increasing expenses...I am yet to see Noora plan!

there are certain things in life that don't need to be complained about day in and day out, Politician living life of luxury on other peoples money is one of them. Instead of beating the same old drum every time this issue comes up I prefer if we could find another solution than relying on cutting down expenses...have not happened anywhere in the world and will never happen in Pakistan. Politician join politics only for these perks, if the welfare of people was the aim then there are better ways to get there.

And this is why I dont call this so called democracy worth a cent! When people are comfortable with what they have/ suffer from or in (even if it is bad) they will not allow change of any form...EVEN IF IT IS GOOD FOR THEM!

Hence why such fleas can only be picked out when the perks vanish!

You and I both will die but the "Perfact democracy" will never arrive...its no where to be found, you guys in Pakistan think the whole world is enjoying perfect democracy but you...not!
The fault you see in your political system are the same fault Pakistani society has, you cannot delink them two, Same is true for every country

I am aware...I have openly mentioned it and some Americans get soo emotional coz their dream gets punctured to reality that I get chased all over the forum!

Nope I DONT equate the political system with the society...The bloody system is old and needs to be torn down and reviewed!

US earns in dollars, so does it mean it they earn those dollar in equal terms of Pakistani rupees (1 dollar = 1 rupee).

So someone who tries to talk sense into you is a hardcore party member lol.

So tell me, Iran has high inflation. Why they pay so much for oil? Even though oil is about 5 cents a liter there. Clearly they get paid in their currency right!

Actually the reason our prices haven't fallen (and actually rose) is because our dollar tumbled a lot. Though most of the world lost vs USD, we lost 24% something.
