Pakistan emerging as ‘top choice for investments’

[ajpirzada]

outward flow of technical people is very high for India and China as well.

Is that a good indicator of the situation within? net Outsourcing or outflow of skill set from a country represents the opposite of good investment environment.

Irish, Chinese, Indian, Koreans experience clearly shows that it is OK to let young engineers go to USA and settle there.

What makes a difference is that how many American settled expats bring home business and outsourcing to their mother country.

Hope you understand now.

Pakistanis settled in the West get confused and become more loyal to Islamist causes and lot less about Pakistan itself.

While expats from ireland, China, India, Korea remain focused on their home country.

Hope you understand.

Yes. There are two parts to your argument.

Firstly, yes there is nothing wrong with letting people settle outside. But the basic economic principle is that goods/people flow to where there are high returns. Now China, India and the rest have improved a lot w.r.t to ease of doing business indicators (and other such indicators) which has led to an upsurge in FDI from both internationals and respective expats. Moreover, there is good indication of slow but gradual influx of technical people to this countries. This is not the case as far as we are concerned. In Pakistan, most of the remittances fall under household related expense rather than investment. Whose fault is it then? Expats or the govts?

Secondly, I am not so sure if we can use the blanket application of the notion of becoming 'more loyal to islamist causes.' I dont disagree with you completely but its a very complicated topic. Nonetheless, the rate with which we produce radicalism at home is much higher than the contribution from the expats. The Saudi funded narratives of wahabi-Jihad against the fellow citizens under various pretexts has more to do with the govt not doing anything about it (and sometimes encouraging it), in my view.
