The main point here is that the trade deficit has ballooned to $31 billion which was considered Haram by PTI fanboys previously but it is Halal now.

It is Halal now because PTI is covering that deficit by increasing remittances and deposits to RDA. Under N League the deficit was in CAD and not just trade deficit - that is the deficit was even after including remittances- total imports were 60bln plus and exports were 20 bln and remittances also stayed around 20 bln. Where as now both exports and remittances have grown:
The CAD will turn out to be less than 3-4 bln ( trade deficit of 31bln but remittances are now around 28bln) which is excellent as that is easier to finance than 20bln left as a present by N League for the next govt.

Bla bla bla bla PML-N deficit bla bla Haram, bla bla bla bla PTI deficit bla bla Halal, bla bla bla bla.

Finance minister Shaukat Tarin has said in an interview with Nadeem Malik that this spike is due to high volume of machinery imports and will settle down in next years. His explanation is plausible as a lot of new car manufacturers have come into Pakistan recently.

Bla bla bla bla PML-N deficit bla bla Haram, bla bla bla bla PTI deficit bla bla Halal, bla bla bla bla.
Ok let me explain it again - Current account deficit is what matters. Pmln left a big CAD ,which is the deficit after remittances and exports; that was -20bln dollars. The trade deficit was even worse, close to 40bln. PTI has achieved a massive increase in remittances -28 bln dollars, which covers the 31 bln trade deficit, so CAD now will be 2-3 bln dollars only (last year there was a surplus of few hundred millions actually ).
 
.
What is the CAD for year ending June 2021? Pak should in the surplus this year.
 
.
Increasing remittance is taking care of it that is why Govt has decided to import more something which these ignorant PMLN will never understand. Increase in remittance has neautralize growing imports thus resulting in positive CAD.

Bro, I'm sure you are capable of articulating a better reply.

If I understand properly, what he is saying is that under PTI the trade deficit, which is the difference between exports and imports, is $30 billion. However, the current account deficit, which is a separate figure and includes remittances as well, is still likely to be 3-4 billion dollars.

So under PTI the current account deficit (CAD) has shrunk significantly compared to the pmln tenure. I don't know if true but he said the CAD deficit was 20 billion dollars in PMLn tenure. So the difference in the figures being debated is different.

Please correct me if I misunderstood.

The trade deficit is more than $6b less than in 2018.

Current account deficit will be $19b less than in 2018.

Our imports are less than in 2018. Our exports are more than in 2018.


I have no idea on what metric the baboons are criticizing governemnt. The illiterates are only making a fool of themselves on this thread.
Their is a limit to jahalat.
Increasing remittance is taking care of it that is why Govt has decided to import more something which these ignorant PMLN will never understand. Increase in remittance has neautralize growing imports thus resulting in positive CAD.

Not only that our services deficit is also on a decline, mainly due to our IT exports crossing $2b comfortably this year.

Am I seriously just hearing remittances by overseas population is an actual component of measuring your economy . And from the sound of it the biggest factor saving your currency from plunging right now

All of it is just astounding to me
