It is beyond me how Pakistan can't recruit investors to engage in a public-private partnership to rebuild the transmission lines to modern standards and have theft control programs. The energy sector would be solvent if they just recovered that.

The Chinese are better? They're "reeducating" Muslims in Xinjiang and trying to stamp out the rapid native spread of Christianity due to local Chinese evangelists. Will atheism eventually become the state religion of Pakistan? Pakistan needs to repent of the sin of claiming to be a moral...

The stupidity of this government never ceases to amaze me. If you want to raise revenue charge 2.5% property taxes without exception, no government exemption, period. The real estate sector in PK is worth between 300-400B, That's 7.5B to 10B USD a year in tax revenue. Of course it's...

How many people died at Fukushima and Three Rivers? Heck, how many people died as a result of Chernobyl? Nuclear is a reliable energy source and not one that's about to disappear. The issue still though is not generation but transmission and power theft. Fix the wiring networks, fix people...

I'm sure the government has thrown up a thousand and one excuses as to why this cannot be done, but time to take Pakistan to a flat property tax rate scheme. Since real estate is the most valuable asset in Pakistan, we should tax all real estate and lower income taxes. Also tangible property...

So if you want a solution...I liked the idea of DHA exporting their businesses to other countries in Africa and elsewhere. It will be the most hilarious thing ever, Pakistani tea and building projects can fund the Pakistani military. They will be the world's most self-sufficient military as...

Pakistan is already ruined. I think IK certainly has regrets about how certain things went under his administration, but he was unjustly ousted and would have likely done better. If he comes back now he will come back knowing more of what it's like to be oppressed-and less likely to be flexible...

1. Don't threaten overseas Pakistanis with a good time. You want to drive them away entirely? You want to try to apply the danda to people who can simply walk away. Of course, if they belong to PDM party then of course all that should be done since they are in the country. 2. How about we...

LOL at real peace agreement. India holds every card under the sun. Pakistan was doing better when IK was forcing every business and governmental entity to learn to live without India and to become self-sufficient. Any Pakistan-India treaty will only bring short term benefits for Pakistan while...

I am not one to say much positive about India. But they changed their path back in the 1990s and stuck to it. No one will say India is some amazing country, they have many problems still, but they have built something that will last and their problems are fixable with time. Pakistan needs to...

Pakistan wasn't created by the Brits. It is pitiable, the circumstances Pakistan has found itself in-but Jinnah and his compatriots created Pakistan for the sake of religious freedom. No disagreement that the years of military rule have ruined Pakistan.

Pakistan's economy is failing for the reason that everyone is missing-the contradiction. Pakistan wishes to present itself as a chaste, moral society, where people pay their bills on time, everyone is accorded their rights, minority or otherwise, and Islam is a successful religion that has led...

It has nothing to do with Imran. It's that the PDM movement, sweeping in on the backs of military and international interference, ousted a lawfully elected PM and replaced him with the same liars and thieves that put Pakistan in the financial crisis that he's been trying to fix in the first...

If saudi wants to help they can do two things to be impactful: 1. Lend at low interest cost to small businesses that can export products and solve the problem of CAD. 2. Buy out the power plants, including the Chinese ones, and sell fuel at cost. Huge fuel cost savings would enable Pakistani...

Regarding point 2, Pakistan would likely be better served utilizing a bonus depreciation scheme instead of pure tax exemptions. It's likely the first couple of years will be loss making any way so it will help produce higher tax revenues down the road. A tax exemption once given is hard to get...

Western and Japanese investors look for high quality businesses with strong customer service and stability. At what time has Pakistan shown any of that?

Who said we were going to take them. The Islamic government has failed. You clearly need a government full of sincerely repentant Christians. They'd serve you instead of themselves.

Encourage them to repent and become Christians. We have the truth, the way, and the life. When we die we go to heaven. Can you make any sure claim of going to jannah in Islam?

Perhaps you missed the point. If you reduce your imports by 15% and have the refining done at home-that is an immense cost savings.

Would it be better to do nothing? If you can reduce your need for refined products by 15% you should and then work hard to find either workarounds or build new capacity for the rest. Besides it's likely, given the Ukrainian quagmire Russia has gotten itself into and the EU sanctions-the...
