Hope he thought this thru otherwise in 1-2 years times we would be cursing pti

why there is a need for subsidy, govt is getting 13pkr levy. they can just remove 10pkr out of it. no need for subsidy.

for electricity it's fuel price adjustment thing. they can manage it if they catch and control theft.

What Imran Khan has announced is basically providing subsidy for petrol. The only way I see this going forward is through burning our hard earned reserves

This will end poorly for Pakistan

not too much to worry about, since our rising exports, foreign investment in coming future and remittances will accommodate this. it was necessary for the nation as our illiterate masses will not comprehend what damage pmln did to our country.
imagine if pmln again come into power in 2023, what will happen? they will again loot us with there flawed policies.

So when he subsidises it people complain. When he doesn't people complain. Funny isn't it

Reserves will get eaten if rupee is subsidized
And if exports lose the 10% growth moment

Things went horrible wrong(no.remittence growth negative 20% exports growth) to cause such a massive problem in 2018

2-3% of GDP comes out to be around 10b$
So that is limit of CAD that we can tolerate or around 1b/month.
Currently is running twice as high
SBP thought this is all energy related and it would improve with oil price improvement however ukraine crisis will prolong the high oil prices

If ukraine crisis goes away and iran deal is finalized expect a drop in oil since massive oil production may enter market
Both russia and iran have hsitorically pumped max amount of oil disregarding OPEC
Which leads the king (saudis) to pump out oil as well

Remeber saudis have the cheapest oil(@ less then 10-15$)

Poison pill or brilliant move, either way Now Pakistan dacoit Movement, suit case, judges, Lifafa journalist and Real Estate gernails are fcukeeeeeeeeed! If No confidence motion is successful Pakistan dacoit movement will inherit empty treasury and can't increase a penny on petrol can't run to the IMF and can't increase power tariffs as its their own contracts that are bearing the fruits...

How does he plan on paying for this subsidy? By reducing taxation and govt spending, or through borrowing?

Clown politicians short term gains but long term damage. Rest of the world leaves the prices for the market to self adjust and in Pakistan every one wants to get everything for free. Circular debt, Internal debt, external debt now subsidy is part of the debt too, when our politicians will open their eyes? Very bad move, then we beg from IMF, Arabs and China to bail us out.

Not sure how to break this to you, but the country was almost bankrupt, hard decision needed to repair the damage would have needed all sectors help specially bureaucracy, press and judiciary to make this happen, but lifafa journalist was relentless, suitcase judges have sworn and oath, to make sure nothing works.

No matter how hard PMIK worked to bring corruption under control, suitcase judges started opening even on holidays to provide relief to PML_N. All opposition parties are already starting to cry because they know now they will have to make hard decisions with empty treasury

Democracy's revenge = populist tactics (that are detrimental to the country's long-term prosperity) to win votes

No sir
PMLN has ruled multiple times in the past
This is what it will do
Immediately increase sales tax by 1-2%
Immediately do a massive tarrif increase
Followed by massive lending infratuture projects and kick backs

Last year of their elecion they will quickly stop rupee devalutioon/subsidize it(that had to happen due to massive lending they did) for lower inflatiobn leading to a bust
