Pakistani rupee depreciated by 30.5% under PTI govt: report

[Patriot forever]

Where are all the supporters of PTI? In a recent post, they were talking about positivity. Where are they hiding now? 123 to 175? terrible. Anyone who criticizes Government becomes patwari for them.

It is a well written article and explains superficially but comprehensively the faults in our policies and relation between currency inflation and external imbalances ( the reason we are at the IMF) . Understand it to learn the basics and educate yourself.

It's natural when ever the currency is kept artificially overvalued that period is followed by a steep correction of rupee. Be it the initial PPP period or PTI period.

PKR is depreciating at an annual rate of around 5% over the last decade or so. Indian currency annual depreciation rate is 2% over the same period.

The only way to bring down the annual depreciation rate is to increase exports, remittances. In fact we lost 5 years from 2013-18 with no growth in exports or remittances (barely) even IT sector was stagnant. Kept the rupee artificially overvalued to keep inflation low and promote consumption. It was unsustainable and the end result is both inflation and currency caught up steeply instead of what it should have happened in a gradually like India. the boom and bust cycle.



If any successive government again manipulates currency and kept it fixed without maintaining macroeconomic parameters/ inherent strength of the economy . The result will be an another cycle of steep depreciation far worse than this one ( than the illiterates will again blame the government at the time of steep depreciation instead of the ones actually responsible)

I am a PTI supporter and even sent money during the election drive.... I will still vote for them.

I think the government has mishandled the economy big time. I wanted more done under CPEC and export incentives.

Unfortunately, this whole Parliamentary and the Courts are corrupt and inefficient.

I will support Imran Khan to turn this whole system into a presidential system.

The Pakistani nation is far too entrenched in corruption, immorality, ignorance, and lazy to be saved by Imran Khan alone.

Against all odds what PTI had accomplished in 3 years, corrupt mafia wasn’t able to do in last 30 years. Economy is not a T20 match, it takes years and some cases decades to fix the economy. Once it’s fixed, it can be set on Auto with yearly audit.

I am with you but i want change as well. Imran khan must change ministers or probably another new system with Imran khan can change things. All i want is peaceful and terror free Pakistan. enough bloodshed and enough corruption.

Our awam is Jahil and they follow these rental molvis. Government must pass strict laws to control Islamic groups. Jalos and Jalsa have to be restricted or government have to provide place and set limit of people can attend it. If government allow these Jahils to run wild in the country, damaging infrastructure and killing innocent people, we can say goodbye to tourism and international sports coming to Pakistan.

Repost:

Pakistani awam (public) doesn’t understand that when currency is devalued, it causes inflation and prices goes up.

PMLN Government spent $7 billion dollars to keep rupee overvalued against the U.S dollar to win the election, some of the money borrowed from local banks. When PTI came in power they allowed rupees to free float due to IMF conditions which resulted in devaluation of Rupees and high inflation. Even if it was NOT IMF demand, Pakistan didn’t have money to keep rupees high against the dollars. Unlike PPP and PMLN government, PTI is not borrowing any money from state bank. What does that mean? It means PTI government is not printing additional rupees.
Public need to understand that when a country is close to defaulting on it's loans and have a failed/Crushing economy (or non-sustainable economy), it takes decades, not months or years to stabilize the economy.

Inflation will eventually go down when economic situation improves and in order to achieve that government will need multi-prong strategy to stabilize the economy and turn it into a sustainable economy. I think PTI has handled things very well against all odds. Glabal economy is impacted by COVID-19 and inflation is high on many western countries.

If PTI continue to make proper changes, hopefully by the end of 2022, we will see some improvement in Pakistani economy, unles new virus impact global economy.

I am not a PTI supporter. I support MarshalLawPlus plan. I am not saying that army people are saints but they are the only one who has power to fix things with danda. All systems in Pakistan are influenced by corrupt mafia including judicial system.
Under the MarshalLawPlus plan all cases against corrupt mafia should be handled by special military courts. F* corrupt Mafia in Pakistan, anyone found guilty of corruption, bullet in the head like Chinese or public lashing, that’s the only way to fix economy. special police and court setup to handle street crimes.
Everyone making 50,000 a month or more (individual and business) should be in the TAXNET. Startups should be given 3 years TAX exemption.
Every system has to be digitalization, completely paperless system. Decentralization of power to district level and distribution of responsibility from Federal, Province, division and district, yearly audit and performance review system to eliminate ghost employees and demote and promote employees based on performance.
