Featured Economy Continues its Upward Trajectory as Trade Deficit Shrinks by 22%

So that mistake should cause them to starve? Or be kicked out to the streets with their families?

Yes. Poor choices have consequences just like good choices have rewards. You can't vote a thief into power and then cry why the national treasury is stolen

All I'm saying is a subsidy on the very core food items for only those that can't afford it.

Nawaz Sharif gave such subsidies to the poor. He froze electricity bills. Gave billions of Rs in subsidies to sugar and wheat mafias. He froze dollar to 100 Rs for 4 years so that inflation wouldn't hurt poor people. These policies to save the poor nearly bankrupted Pakistan, you idiot.

That's how you build capital through hard work in sweat shops. Remember China was there too in the 90s. Today they manufacture almost everything sold on this planet.
Bangladesh has also started manufacturing cars and mobile phones from next year. Pakistanis just want to take short cuts because they run away from cheap labor.

Are you for real? Pakistanis do not have access to cheap electricity for decades. It's only recently under CPEC that govt has started building hydro power dams that provide the cheapest energy of all sources.

Stop quoting me if u lack manners to discuss something with civility.

Lazyness came with Bhutto when he destroyed culture of merit in bureaucracy and business, and replaced with party workers and political cartels

Stop quoting me if u lack manners to discuss something with civility.

Then stop supporting economic policies of Ganja Sharif that nearly bankrupted Pakistan

Come on man...the only way forward is together. All I'm saying is a subsidy on the very core food items for only those that can't afford it.

Bahi they should learn a lesson this time now... and true we should bring in a Adhar Card system like india but only for those who cant afford food mere bahi not everyone like previous term which was given on loan money... give it from pocket of the super rich or from revenue generated to lower income houses

you are saying that but its always about a stepping stone..
you step up after you get textiles in..

pakistan couldnt compete because our people have to provide social secuirty to textie workers which makes its impossible to compete, but we can outset that by local cotton production and new innovations

textile can still be a good source of export reveue as you see from turkey, vietnam and china experience

however, the future is import substitution, IT, petrochemical, small engr products, value added agriculture products and medicines..these are all doable in next 5-10 years and can give pakistan an export in ball park of 100b$ in next 10 years if govt seriously solve utilities problem, equity and infrastruture problem(land costs)
