Reasons why Pakistan's economy on failed stage

Pakistan should focus on Creation of Wealth i.e., work hard in creating goods or services that the world wants and is willing to pay for. Focus more on earning than living frugally.

Nah. That is too difficult. And nobody will take anything with them to the Hereafter anyway. So why bother at all. We obviously need to prepare for what happens in the next world, not for this temporary one, don'tcha know? :D
 
Maybe difficult for Pakistan at this moment, but by protecting its domestic market Pakistan will get more opportunity for FDI to come to build those imported products inside Pakistan rather than importing entirely from China

The problem is alot of things needed only make fiscal sense if you can make it in such bulk that the cost vs selling price is worth the effort. Unfortunately that usually means exports.
 
Remember there are 200 million of your people that have sympaty to Pakistan that can be used for bringing terror inside India.

Pakistan cannot get its own citizens to do anything for them. Why would any foreigner do anything for them ?

Haven't you been cheerleading for PDM? Why cry rivers now?

Well, that was 2016 and they were doing very well. Doubt they need govt funding. Owns huge business chunk in by 2022. In 2016 dollar was 66 rupees and businesses worth 20 billion dollars.
Now the dollar is 270 and worth around 80 billion dollars or more.

Says it all. The crux of the problem.
 
Pakistan cannot get its own citizens to do anything for them. Why would any foreigner do anything for them ?

Those 200 million will be the place to hide the Pakistani sabotage personel from their Army.

Indonesian only needs 2 persons from our Marine to bomb Singapore 37 times during Ganyang Malaysia campaign. That is small nation, compare it to India............

Those 2 Marine personel names becomes our light frigate ships name

During this period, Indonesia openly opposed the formation of Malaysia, perceiving in its view that it was merely a neo-colonial state, especially for the British.[1] Indonesian saboteurs mounted a campaign of terror in Singapore, then a major state and city within Malaysia. There were a total of 37 bombings from 1963 to 1966. They were trained to attack military installations and public utilities. However, when the saboteurs failed in their attempts to attack these installations that were heavily guarded, they set off bombs indiscriminately to create panic and disrupt life in Singapore as well as in Malaysia.

By 1964, bomb explosions became frequent. To help the police and army defend Singapore from these attacks, a volunteer force was set up. More than 10,000 people signed up as volunteers. Community Centers served as bases for the volunteers to patrol their neighbourhoods. In schools, students underwent bomb drills. The government also warned Singaporeans not to handle any suspicious-looking parcels in the buildings or along streets. Despite the efforts of the British, small groups of saboteurs managed to infiltrate the island and plant bombs. By March 1965, a total of 29 bombs had been set off in Singapore.

We have extreme disbalance in export and import bill. Massive import bill and massive flight of dollar from Pak govt financial institutions.. Imran Khan reduced the gap pretty much....but.. then came Branson ..and fvckup everything.

Unless Pakistan can protect Indian Muslims no one is going to die for Pakistan in a sustained war. Ever wonder why Indonesia wised up in its fight against Malaysia and Singapore @Indos

India apparently cannot gets its citizens to stop prowling on Pakistani websites.

sorry ,,,Indian Muslims sucks big time.
 
I guess the real question is if Pakistanis are prowling Indian websites. My bet is that we are not. Gives of small d1(& vibes.
 
all political leaders including zardar, nawaz and imran khan are responsible for destruction of our economy. No one is sincere with Pakistan. In addition after gen zia military leadership also become compromised and made alliance with corrupt political parties for running government . Our public not deserves democracy and elections and we need non political honest caretaker govt of true patriotic professionals who are master in their respective field and have no political inclination towards any party
