Review 2020: Pakistan’s success story with PM Imran Khan

[blain2]

Police Reforms?
Health Reforms?
Price Control?
Good Governance?
Circular Debt?
Line Losses?

I could add 20 more items to the list, but the point is improvements are incremental and only so many fronts can be opened at one time.

I think the PDM show aside, if the current government is allowed to govern, the next 5 years will turn out to be a game changer with the CPEC investments coming on-line (pay-off from the investments made) along with other structural changes. The key is to have continuity of policies. I was even okay with the PML's economic policies as long as they continued but alas they did not. As such, I support the current government's plans and execution. These need continuity.

IMF and other organizations have repeatedly harped on this issue of one incoming government completely starting from scratch instead of building on the main planks of economic policies of the previous government. In most of the developed nations, the fundamental economic policies don't change, unfortunately in Pakistan they do all the time. As such, the issue is not that the policies are bad, they are never given enough time to pan out and pay dividends. We are constantly setting up for a policy, then uprooting and starting anew. This has had a major hand in limiting the economic potential of Pakistan.

Agreed, I myself voted for IK, and I will choose him over sharifs and Zardari's anytime. I just want him to improve governance as much as possible to give relief to common Pakistan as these are very hard times for them.

 

[Chakar The Great]

Hope your success continues unhindered..

Amen to that. Hope Modi continues to rule India for another 15 years.

Cheap imports from abroad, cheap gas, electricity, oil, essentials is not relief but govt subsidies that end up bankrupting Pakistan and force it back to IMF again

 

[Patriot forever]

Some people don't know how a non corrupt head of state can bring change.

Take a look..

Not just that.
Compare the tariff awarded between kohala hpp vs neelam jehlum hpp.
Contract rates of Lahore metro signed by plmn vs pti.
The excellent negotiated contract of gas pipeline with Russia.
Reducing the price of ML1 from 8 billion to 7.2 billion on top of it negotiating strongly for cheapest mode of financing.
Scrapping done deals of imported coal power plants for hydro.
Merchant LNG terminal contracts vs fixed half a million per day payment contracts for LNG terminal.

The list goes on and on.

There is a night and day difference between the previous governments and the current one.

Yes but people's only problem is this is expensive and that is expensive. They don't care about the overall betterment of the country. Only their own short sighted benefits. @muhammadhafeezmalik @Death Adder

ISLAMABAD-Inflation has eased to 8 per cent in December on the back of a slight decline in the price of perishable products.

Deceleration in inflation was noticed for the third consecutive month in December. Inflation measured through Consumer Price Index (CPI) was recorded at 7.97 per cent in December this year over the same period of last year, according to the latest data of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS). Food inflation is still in the double-digits, posting a rise in the outgoing month.
It has shown slight decline as compared to 8.91 per cent of October and 8.3 per cent in November this year. “Continuous efforts of the government are dragging inflation down which is evident from declining trend in SPI for the past four weeks,” said ministry of finance.
The ministry of finance in its recent report stated that international food prices continued to rise. “Government policies were put in place to mitigate the effects of international food prices on domestic prices and to monitor and improve the functioning of the domestic markets,” said ministry in its report. In November inflation came down to 0.8 per cent from 1.7 in October which is expected to reduce further in December. Thus, for December, inflation is expected to fall within a range of 7.8 and 8.3

According to the PBS data, the CPI-based inflation was recorded at 8.63 per cent in first half (July to December) of the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, the Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI), which gauges rates of kitchen items on weekly basis, increased by 11.48 per cent. Similarly, the wholesale price index (WPI) based inflation enhanced by 4.44 per cent in the period under review.

The break-up of inflation of 7.97 per cent in December 2020 showed that food and non-alcoholic beverages prices increased by 13.3 per cent. Similarly, health and education charges went up by 8.08 per cent and 1.24 per cent, respectively. Similarly, prices of utilities (housing, water, electricity, gas and fuel) increased by 3.45 per cent in last the month. Meanwhile, the prices of alcoholic beverages and tobacco went up by around 6.02 per cent.

Price of clothing and footwear increased by 9.64 per cent and furnishing and household equipment maintenance charges 7.66 per cent. Recreational charges and those related to culture went up by 4.44 per cent in the period under review, while amounts charged by restaurants and hotels by 9.97 per cent in December 2020 as compared to the same month last year.

In urban areas, the food items which saw their price increased during December 2020 over November this year included: eggs (15.67 per cent), spices (6.88 per cent), butter (6.75 per cent), dry fruits (4.57 per cent), vegetable ghee (3.07 per cent), cooking oil (2.2 per cent) and fish (1.51 per cent). In non-food commodities, prices of following things have increased like electricity (5.96 per cent), transport services (5.07 per cent), hosiery (3.43 per cent), cleaning and laundering (2.74 per cent), motor vehicle accessories (2.06 per cent), woolen cloth (1.39 per cent) and drugs & medicines (1.29 per cent).

Meanwhile, in urban areas, following commodities prices showed decline: onions (29.12 per cent), tomatoes (27.12 per cent), vegetables (19.18 per cent), sugar (18.07 per cent), potatoes (13.12 per cent), Wweat (4 per cent), fruits (1.85 per cent) and pulse gram (1.23 per cent). In rural areas, the commodities which prices enhanced included eggs (14.08 per cent), spices (4.19 per cent), cooking oil (3.71 per cent), chicken (3.21 per cent), vegetable ghee (3.13 per cent), mustard oil (2.63 per cent), fish (2.47 per cent), pulse mash (2.01 per cent) and dry fruits (1.95 per cent).

The government has imported wheat and sugar to bridge shortfall and improve its supplies in the market. The inflation is expected to recede further with the arrival of new crops of vegetables, sugar crushing season, and marginal decline in the petroleum prices.
