CPEC most certainly had a large footprint on our trade deficit but I never said all of it was because of CPEC. Even if that were the case, what you need to realize is how investment works; have you ever taken a house loan? Initially you are under a large debt but you also have made an investment which will eventually pay off in the long run. Now, consider that your financial position has grown to the point where you are able to take yet another loan, invest in an additional property and so on. This means that you are under considerable debt but financially you are in a better position than you would be with no debt and no property (investment). Similarly, investment in CPEC, Power Projects etc., was essential to our long term interest and benefit.
What you need to give PTI is the entire blame of the financial crisis that you and I are in today. As for Hundi, do you know it is legal in leading countries of the world? What do you think Western Union is? We were supposed to cut down on "illegal" Hundi/Hawala but we decided to ban it completely for whatever reason even though all we needed to do was legitimize them and regulate them.
Remittances will grow regardless of whose Government it is, because more and more Pakistanis are going abroad and sending money to their families. If you mean it is growing through the Banking Sector, well it is because of no effort on the part of PTI which wasn't either FATF related or an act of God (COVID).
So basically, you don't really know what success is; well let me tell you in the simplest way possible, if the life of the poorest in your country is made easy then it is success otherwise it is a failure.
Yeah, nice, we are exporting Sugar and Wheat whenever it is surplus and then importing it after every 2 months......very smart indeed, but only for the mafias and cartels so don't be fooled with the export figures. And the actual exports such as Textile, Surgical/Sports Goods and edibles which we do not eventually import are all thanks to the surplus electricity that we all enjoy today, our load-shedding free summers now are because of the previous Government and not because of PTI; PTI is just merely reaping the rewards.
