Well, when you understand the depth and the truthfulness of my post, you should come back. I am sure it would be three days after today (like the joke says
)
You've mixed 5 issues in one paragraph. I don't have the time to divulge into each of these. But to make some critical points, you got to remember, don't interchange India with the US. Yes, India is all over Afghanistan. But that doesn't mean the US has a policy to destabilize Pakistan. In fact, that's ONE thing where US and Indian interests don't meet. Even when we apply sanctions, those are partial. The US government totally understands that it has to work with the Pakistanis in Trade and Economic capacity, that's for sure and you can see POTUS and many other official's statements on this. If we were so against Pakistan, don't you think the real sanctions could be applied that would've crippled Pakistan like it did to China? But that's never the case. A nuclear Pakistan with a growing economy and opportunity and peace for all, is in the US's best interests.
I am highly surprised at such a naive and silly question. I just felt like I am wasting my time because you may be ten years old and have no common sense about life yet. Your question clearly tells me how little you understand the world.
Let me give you one small examples. Google opens up a large office in Pakistan beyond what they already have and outsource some key components that they only share with partner countries like India. First, Google would have to spend close to half a billion to build a new world class campus for expansion of their operations in Pakistan. Second, local talent will be hired. A couple of thousands of Pakistani hi-tech engineers being employed means you elevated 2000 house holds, their living standard, buying power, etc, etc.
2000 people spending lets say 600 additional rupees a day on lunches, clothes, etc (I am being very conservative here) means 2000*600*24 (in a month, after holidays, there may be 24 days for estimation) = Rs. 28, 800,000!! This is Rs. 28 million per month that will be put into the local City's economy. Can you imagine how many Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Sweet Shops, Barber Shops, Clothing Shops, etc, etc will benefit? This isn't including their financial ability to buy nicer cars, bigger and nicer homes, etc, etc. This is just the daily groceries, eating and clothing if you will in one city. All the others including, it would be a Rs. 75-80 million or more worth of impact per month, specially if you count expensive real estate in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi and ONLY by 2000 jobs!! Not to forget the taxes the government will be making on their nice salaries
Let's now imagine Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Agilent, SAP, GE, etc, all come to Pakistan and even at a MUCH smaller number produce 2000 jobs each. That's 6 companies * 2000 jobs = 12,000 jobs. Now take the previous formula and apply again, this time, more people thought: 12000*600*24 (in a month, after holidays, there may be 24 days for estimation) = Rs. 172, 800,000 (That's 172 million plus a month) being spent on local economy where their office and homes are. Now add the real estate and other things, the net impact may be well over quarter billion rupees. Any idea how many Clothing shops, Food businesses, Hair Salons, Ice Cream Ships, Coffee Shops, Grocery, Electronic, and other businesses you can grow with this money? Not to mention these people will save up too and will get into other ventures so more businesses will be created. Again add the tax and the government will get richer and richer too.
I hope this made sense to you. I gave you a very basic example. Imagine now 10 companies doing serious investments worth $ 100 billion and creating a few million jobs. You have the formula above. Calculate the net impact. That's what the US companies can do for Pakistan, without breaking a SWEAT!!
Next, you have Bangla flags, why are you putting your nose into Pakistan's business? If you love it so much, you should've stayed with them. I'll let a Pakistani make a case. Not someone who is trying to create some negative sentiment about US and Pakistan. I am sure the Pakistanis always have, will and can handle their issues themselves
.
Will you mind telling us a few Global companies names that actually opened up head offices inside Pakistan to do business in those "calm times" during Mushy's rule? That corrupt fool ONLY awarded US aid's money to his buddies in the military and contracts to send and bring NATO weapons to and from the Karachi port. Since his time, due to abuse of Pakistan's railway network and non-payment. PR was almost bankrupt and it declared profit for the first time last year.
Mushy had negative two million ability to bring anything called a "business" to Pakistan. No US company would invest under a Dictator. You live in the US and know the Blue Suits thing too (we've talked about it). The only thing Mushy did, was to use the free flow of dollars from the US, and put it into the transportation and real estate market and boomed it. Both were because of his general buddies. All Army housing schemes under him went high up. Now they are beyond the reach of a common Pakistani by a large margin. Speaks volumes to his abilities. Economies are designed for average people. Not for a few million people.
In the US, even a family making $ 60,000.00 can afford a home (albeit small one). There are price points every where. In Islamabad, during my last trip in Mushy's time, I was surprised to hear the amount of money it required to own a house. Average cost was close to a million dollars in decent areas and close to 400K in average areas. Imagine that. And these were less than 5000 sqft homes and land altogether. In a million in US, you could afford a mansion and an acre land may be a few minutes outside of the downtown of all major metropolitans!! That's a sign of growing economy.
are u really Indian ?
