Pakistan a paper MFN of India

[ramu]

Once again, Pakistan Never Asked for MFN status, like I explained once before the concept behind MFN, It would suit India to grant Pakistan MFN rather than Pakistan's interest to get MFN status to India.

How much do you know about MFN is clearly seen by your post. Pakistan does not have to ask, in fact no one has to ask if you are a signatory of WTO and SAFTA.

The theory of comparative advantage infers that the trade should enhance gains for both countries (two countries case) but does not signifies that this process will be able to continue or not? If Bilatral trade is benefiting India and people like you think that it will continue indefinitely, it will not. The exchange rate of INR vis-a-vis PKR will start to appreciate as a result of trade surplus in India, resulting in erosion of its comparative advantage over the longer term. Thus trade will only be able to contribute continuously (As per theory), if no trade surplus/deficit is realized at both ends.
Do i need to re-explain the concept?

A pile of $hit. Trade should and will enhance gains on both sides. It has nothing to do with Indian or Pakistani currency if both trade in dollars.

The same cement manufacturers were exporting to UAE before the housing market slump. We also had similar complains from BD about Indian non-tarrif barriers, its not Pakistan alone. India can errect any such barriers as it has strong protectionist policy historically, but on the other hand it should also be ready to face the retaliatory measures from others in response.
We are talking about non-tarrif barriers not these things..........

Chinese trade with India inspite of anti dumping laws is hundreds of billions. Need I say more ?

but anyways, what we can get cheaper from India relative to others, its no harm in importing that thing even though it turns the overall balance in favor of India. It benefits Pakistan by reducing the import bill, not a bad thing at all.

Finally some sense. Your country anyway imports indian goods through Dubai paying twice the cost.

Pak-China trade deficit is much more than Indo-Pak deficit but no one complains about that
This forum is filled with hypocrites
