dollar hitting 188, bloodbath at stock market crash

@PradoTLC

this started during Bhutto's time.. her husband wanted his 10%

That's true, but in that era oil prices were really low and GOP wanted to kickstart capacity addition. To an extent it was justified. Plus 1990s saw too much political instability and no PM could have been expected to start thermal or hydro generation as they are long gestation projections. But by Mushy's time, there was political stability and also availability of foreign capital to undertake generation projects.

What are your thoughts about these points ? This analyst might be biased but his points look sensible to be as an outsider.

5 point economic plan:

1. Increase gasoline prices, remove tax exemptions/subsidies (for Rs800 billion) for the corporate sector immediately and get $10bn from the IMF.

2. Impose a financial emergency [Article 235(1)] and ask the provinces to collect at least Rs100bn through higher taxes on land and property.

3. Impose a special emergency tax of Rs.500,000 on vehicles of 1600cc or more. This can bring in at least Rs20bn. Double the electricity tariff on residential properties of 800 sq yards or more,

4. Downsize the federal govt and abolish/downsize all those divisions that handle subjects that have been transferred to the provincial governments. This can bring in Rs30bn. Cut non-combat defence spending by Rs.100bn


5. Ban ALL land allotments and make it mandatory to sell the state land by public auction only and launch a privatization programme to create an investment-friendly environment

The ideas look good. But most of us will not have enough knowledge about Pakistan to say if the numbers that he has listed here are realistic.

Most important of all, I think it will be very politically unpopular to implement these. I can guess that Shahbaz will implement gasoline price roll back only :unsure:

You guys are over reacting - the current balance excluding debt servicing is only a couple hundred million dollars a month. This can be easily dealt with by increasing interest rates a bit in the short term while gas oil price shocks last. Then go back to IMF, they are asking for very reasonable demand of setting oil prices at international level. This is a basic must frankly no way out of it.

Long term, fix political economy- talk to people about how we need to export instead of import and that things cannot be cheaper than what they are at international price level.
