It is the economy, stupid

As the newly imported government celebrates the hijack, after the euphoria subsides, it's likely in for a rude awakening.

Pakistan's newly imported government is facing the daunting task of managing a stuttering economy with huge deficits. The opposition has always criticised Imran Khan for accepting IMF loans. Yet, the first thing the newly imported government has done after taking charge is to announce the restart of talks with IMF i.e. hinting at more IMF loans. So much for the IMF criticism aimed at Imran Khan. What the IMF talks also reveal is that the US won't pump money into the Pakistani economy as suggested earlier. The US will most likely and solely approve IMF loans. In other words, Pakistani debt is about to grow manifold. Especially under PML-N leadership which is well-known for accepting burgeoning loans.

Showbaz won't be spared from worldwide economic challenges either. An increase in risks to external stability, heightened by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as local political uncertainty are realities of the day. Currently, Nawaz Sharif's lackey Miftah Ismail has already remarked that Imran Khan is leaving an economic mess behind. Fully knowing that Imran Khan himself inherited a terrible economic malaise left by PML-N. Even as the imported government takes charge the rupee has plunged to record lows. As the US dollar continues to soar, a massive economic meltdown is staring the country in the face.

Showbaz and his COAS have an eager fetish for improving relations with India. Despite fully knowing that Hindustan is currently being ruled by an RSS butcher. Are Showbaz and Bajwa on the path of sacrificing Kashmir cause in exchange for trade with Modi's Hindustan? Is this the nefarious deal that PML-N and Bajwa have signed behind closed doors with the US/India?

The only plus that I can assume is the willingness of Showbaz to further enhance and speed up CPEC projects between China and Pakistan. That is merely a small ray.

SS announced an immediate increase in salary by 25% - then silently cancelled it. Miftah Ismail said it will be considered at budget:

Cost anaylsis is important
You dont want to do projects without looking at cost

The new administration has reportedly removed subsidies. This will help keep the macro economic fundamentals stable for Pakistan. 🤔

There wasnt much to manage before, and the new gov will make sure there nothing left after they leave just as the pmln did in 2018.
There is no point in discussing such things.

No
Thats not their modus operandi

They need fiscal space
So they will remove all subsides
Print max note
And go for massive infrastucture projects
Skim 20% on top(its simply a comission that contractors deposit overseas) then bring that via TT and distribute half among its workers and local leaders

Everyone gets happy lots of jobs created lots of skimming happens

Why do they need to print note for infrastructure projects? SS will just wine and dine the Chinese investors to build infrastructure on their dole. I've read that he is famous for that in Punjab? :coffee:

In hindsight, was I right? Look at the state of the economy today. Things have gone from terrible to extremely bad. What has PDM and the military achieved on the economic front?

Apparently we are only a $350 billion dollar economy with a population of 242 million people. lol.

The military rulers have clearly failed. Their balanced foreign policy hasn't rescued the economy.
I hope China does something drastic like helping our economy and manufacturing.
