Pakistan-Bangladesh trade volume to soon touch $1bn: envoy

This debate is not about tax collection but about size of GDP.

Pak and Indian posters claimed their GDP was bigger than the published ones - DUE TO THE BLACK and INFORMAL ecooomy.

Btw, you should ignore any “vibe” I am giving off - focus on the text.

Unless someone is being personal - you should be able to handle it. Otherwise, big bad world will swallow you up!
Once again, you think you know what the debate is about.. like how a know it all would. It is about Pakistan's standard of living and potential to grow. The informal economy is good to include for the context because while it may not contribute for state's exchequer, it could still be substantial for the quality of living in the country.

I can handle you pretty well. You should not get a knee jerk reaction as soon as someone calls out your pretentious tone. :laugh:

Calcutta and Mumbai were world class cities in British India. Amongst others.

But suffered two massive famines.

Shiny city on a hill does not make you rich!

I have seen Middle/upper class areas of BD cities and frankly it sucks on almost all levels. Look at this and then tell me if I am wrong.

Lahore (Second largest city and these videos cover a huge portion of the city. Compare the buses/transportation/infrastructure/houses/roads and you get an idea of how behind BD is.

I have just posted like 1% of the stuff from both Karachi and Lahore. I can post 100's of pictures/videos with similar level development. Won't post Islamabad because that would be way out BD's league.

I think @KaiserX chose the wrong word. I doubt he meant an actual reunification of Bd & Pak into one nation (which would be ridiculous) but building strong relations.

Not a nation, a confederation or union. Would i

Forget trying to prove anything to these imbeciles. The consumption numbers were enough to throw their logic in the bins. An economy larger than Pak has 1/3rd the electricity consumption, 1/12th the car sales, etc… 😵‍💫

BD statistics department works for family of mujeeb.

Again you get personal…

So this debate wasn’t about the size of the OFFICIAL GDP? And you accept the official GDP?

If so, why crow about the so called informal economy?

Informal economy is already factored into your official GDP.
Hence it cannot make you richer than you already are according to IMF numbers.

Only way you would be richer than IMF numbers is if you had a massive BLACK ECONOMY.

Which is why I explained the difference between black and informal economy to you.

I don’t think you like it when people highlight your contradictions. But that’s life. Get used to it.
Haha.. start by claiming that I get personal and then conclude by getting personal to the same degree. Try to stop playing victim. Also writing in capital letters does not mean you have uncovered some big truth :laugh:

In many cases, informal economy is not actually included in GDP. Here is a fact finding study in the matter .. go through it http://www.rrojasdatabank.info/sida.pdf

You are not a very smart guy. I humbly request that you do not pretend to be one :laugh:

Funny today there are millions of illegal bangladeshis in Pak, yet almost no Pakistani in Bangladesh :D if Bangladesh is ahead of Pakistan in development why dont any bangladeshis stay in there shithole country instead of migrating to India or Pakistan?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengalis_in_Pakistan#:~:text=Pakistani Bengalis (Bengali: পাকিস্তানি বাঙালি,migrated from Bangladesh after 1971.

2.5 million bangladeshis in pak, close to 7-8 million illegally in India. Bengalis want to live anywhere BUT bangladesh :D By nature these namak harams are very similar to Afgunis. When will Mir Bajwa stand up for our interest and send these illegals back??? We have seen how the burmanese dealt with these termites, we see how India is dealing with these termites today.Enough with ummah chummah crap we need to deal with these Parasites in Pak today as well!!!

Pak needs to have the following policy vis via Bangladesh

1) Trade on equal basis only. All pakistani businesses in BD should be taxed at 50%. Incentives should be provided to relocate to Pak. Enough with enriching those who stab us in the back

2. Stop all raw cotton exports to BD. Why are we subsidizing our econonic competitors for?

3. National registry for all illegal bangladeshis. Penalties for eating in Pak while also stabbing us in back. If possible we should exchange these illegal migrats for stranded biharis who gave their lives for pak in 1971. Any left over Bengali should be sent to camps or deported to India/Bangladesh

4. Continue to sell JF17s to Myanmar which has proven to be a true ally to Pak. Sell more weaponry on a credit basis. Sell BVR missiles to that will keep the shitty BD airforce with a dozen F7s/Mig29 in check for next decade. Medium range missiles such as MRLS/SHORT range cruise missiles should also be sold with the ability to strike Dhaka.

Not only will it increase our defence exports but also keep backstabbing bangladeshis in check. When bangladesh is willing to be subservient to india and work again Pak anyways politically or military then whats stopping us??? These idiot generals dont know 2 shits about geopolitics. We should arm myanmar to the teeth and learn from them how to deal with 2 faced backstabbing bangladeshis.

If we implement such policies we will see how Bangladesh gives us respect within a few years, then we may consider equal ties. Until then it has only been a 1 sided affair to benefit bangladeshis at the expense of pakistan. ONLY NATIONS WHO RESPECT THEMSELVES WILL BE RESPECTED BY OTHERS.

There is no correlation between shiny cities and current GDP.

Kolkata was built by the British.
Your cities have been built with borrowed money.

North Korea has more gleaming cities than Vietnam. Guess which one has bigger GDP!

Actually no, 99% of development, housing societies, etc are built by the private sector itself. Govt is only responsible for highway/railroad infrastructure. More roads are built in Pak in 1 year than are available in all of Bangladesh :D

If you guys are so rich, why is your currency reserve so tiny? And cannot service debt?

Because we dont have 5bn in foreign aid coming in every year unlike your country :D BD are quiet different from other asians societies. Go look at them in europe/US/West, any new bengaldeshi immigrant heads to social service office as soon as they arrive for welfare. For pakistanis that is frowned upon thus we work harder to get to where we are.

Also if we did not have millions of illegal afgunis and bangladeshis leaching us and neighbors like afghanistan or india we would be a developed nation by now

These social menace practices are being fought against in Pakistan. We don't want Bangladeshi influence on it.

You can recall your diplomatic staff from our country.

Forget diplomatic staff- we need to ship back millions if bangladeshis back as well as make sure all Pakistani textile businesses are bought back asap. Why are we employeeing hundreds of thousands of BDs in BD??? Why are we feed millions of termites in Pak??? Have you seen the conditions of our bihari brothers in BD???

We should learn from Burmanese and Indians how to deal with these termites who only know how to loot and stabb the hands that feed them.

We will only send them back once they are armed and trained to bring democracy to Bangladesh.

The Bangladeshi regimes are sterilising Rohingyas creating concentration camps.

We should put our interest first. These property dealer generals are useless no good nothing.

Bangladesh/Bengalis go out of their way 300% to hurt/malign pakistans interests, whereby we dont even respond 1% in the way we should.

Dont forget they will even resort to petty tactics to malign pakistan such as not allowing pakistani flags at cricket matches or boycotting SAARC conferences in Pak. We should have responded decades ago!

We will once we start caring. We don't have to lose our sleep over their ruckus.

By the end of the decade, the communal wave from India will have fully engulfed Bangladesh. It will be decided then how to send democracy back to Bengal, armed and aroused.

If it comes to that Bangladesh will allow US a base in our land, trust me they have been trying for a while.

better to be under Uncle then the cow feces eaters.

But you guys also predict Bangladesh will be under water by then!!

Democracy?

When did you have it in Pakistan?

As for arming….

Look how it turned out in Afghanistan.

Want to shoot your self in the foot again?

It shall be written and so it shall be done.

The power vacuum which will be left behind by eventual demise of Hasina would be a finger licking opportunity which won't be allowed to slip.
