Real Issues by Dr. Farrukh Saleem

Wheat crisis, Sugar crisis, cng crisis, power crisis, and other crises can be reduced if supply chain management is improved.

Govt doesn't need to manage the supply chain at all. It's the job of market players. Govt must as soon as possible get itself out of micro managing the economy. Governments job is to govern the market not to control it.

PTI needs to improve management and it is the only party that can as the leader is not corrupt.

Giving subsidies on everything is not management. Govt should not get itself involved in commerce and trade within Pakistan. It should only focus on growing exports and put a check on unnecessary imports to save foreign exchange reserves. That's it. All the rest must be managed by the market players.

Yeah and the market players are a mafia, according to IK himself, who are hell bent on raising the prices of everything. In the meanwhile, income is not increasing. The economy cannot grow when people are underfed, and cannot afford basic necessities.

How long are you going to delay the real medicine for Pakistan's economic and financial woes. Pakistanis poor or rich must come to their senses that they cannot live on borrowed money for ever. If Imran Khan has to put people in pain to resolve the problem for good then be it. Army and other institutions must help him in this regards. If not Pakistan will go bankrupt after 2023.

What you say may be true. It is easy to say it sitting in Norway. The guy on the street is going to have the last say. Pakistan is almost self-sufficient in food. Energy prices are lowest in years. Where is the inflation coming from ?

Devaluation impacts imports. Food is locally produced. Oil prices have crashed negating the devaluation.
It is almost like the economy is highly inefficient

Food is locally produced.

No, food was and still is heavily imported.

Appetite for food imports grows

Yikes

"The country imports basic raw materials for food industries like palm and soya bean oil and consumer items like tea, powdered milk and pulses. Moreover, we now also import beef, mutton, chicken, eggs, butter cheese, curd, coffee, biscuits, chocolates, pickles, juices, jams, soft drinks, flavoured water, spices, dry fruit, nuts, honey — and even fish"

I understand palm oil, tea, coffee and maybe some spices. There is no excuse for rest of it. Seriously you cannot blame the politicians for this state of affairs

Yes army and agencies is responsible for every thing lol

I know army ruled Pakistan for 30 years. I do not know what the army has to with the production of eggs and chicken.

Flour, Sugar, Petrol, Gas & Electricity all gone very expensive in Pakistan under PTI.

The opposition’s only goal is: to bring down the PTI government. Lo and behold, the PTI government’s only goal is: to crush the opposition. The real goal – both for the government and the opposition – should be unconditional political reconciliation in order to solve Pakistan’s real issues. At this point in time, the mother of all issues is: Where will Pakistan be in two and a half years if the PTI fails to mend its ways and correct its course?

No, inflation is due to your favorite PMLN absconder Ishaq Dollars Darnomics

Opposition cannot solve any issue because it created all issues in the past

At this point in time, the mother of all issues is: Where will Pakistan be in two and a half years if the PTI fails to mend its ways and correct its course?

What's wrong with PTI's course? Pakistan is no longer going bankrupt as it happened in your favorite PMLN govt

 

[Asian.Century]

FACT: Sadly Flour, Sugar, Petrol, Gas & Electricity all gone very expensive in Pakistan under PTI.
