Big population in the country, big buying power. Concentrate on meeting their needs through local industry. Curtail luxurious imports. Demand for dollars will decrease. Trade with China, Arab World and Russia in local currencies instead of dollars.
Trickle down economy is a myth. Corporations should be taxed at least 40% as the owners are making billions. Zakat should be started on wealth of rich individuals so that there is movement of money in the economy out of the real estate.
Pakistan should increase the list of luxuries are that are banned for imports. Get smuggled petrol from Iran, make agreement with Russia for cheap oil & gas. Increase tax on large businesses and decrease indirect tax on the ordinary people in the form of fuel and utility prices. Make people...
It is a great idea to develop road network in the Wakhan corridor linking the four countries surrounding it. I have also heard that one proposed route of TAPI pipeline also passes through this area. It would give a boost to the economy of the region.

I have heard that the huge bases that they built were for no less than 100 years stay. They wanted to control the whole central asia, china nd south east asia from Afghanistan.
One should not let emotions to to take over and destroy practical advantages. If NATO could not destroy them then it is surely beyond the capability of the army. More so without funds for fighting from the US. The Americans are fond of saying no free lunches. Now their focus is on Russia and...
My proposal of Af-Pak one confederation-two systems with democracy in Pakistan and Sharia in Afghanistan would solve the issue of Durand Line and would lead to increased trade between the two countries. We can then include other Central Asian Countries in a European Union type model. The British...
