I have a great idea. Since Nawaz, Shahbaz, and their buddies all have billions stashed from overseas they can bring all their dollars back into the country. This would be the democratic thing to do, since they came into power on the heels of democratic action.

I've read this entire thread. I've got several comments. 1. No man is perfect. IK is not perfect, but he was an honest trier. I don't agree with many of his decisions, and frankly thought he should have laid off the vast majority of the Pakistani government the moment his key personnel were in...

At today's prices PK would have essentially been saving $30 a barrel. That is a huge deal for a country like Pakistan, and frankly while I'm not a huge fan of Russia, this is in line with what IK has been trying to do-plot an independent course for Pakistan. The fools getting rid of Khan after...

Arzish is a good friend of mine. We are extremely excited at the growth of Pakistani start ups and are still working out a way to partner together since I'm based in the United States.

Having been well-connected and acquainted with the people working hard in Pakistani start-ups, I can say that they are going to play an immense role in driving Pakistan forward. For those complaining that they're "chore" or who's going to use the services-typically you will see enormous returns...

Only one problem with the depreciation-PK IS NOT INCREASING EXPORTS FAST ENOUGH. I get that there's been a global pandemic. The 13% loan notes were a bad idea. Also, China is not going to make the situation better. They are focused on loans, not on true FDI, and they are doing the same in...

There's more than enough power-the Chinese power companies that set up these ridiculous take or pay schemes ensured that. Why the transmissions systems have not been fixed is beyond me. Get it done.

This is a misstatement. The US Supreme Court decided a case that states could require remote sellers to charge sales tax across state lines. Not the same as a federal sales tax.

Congrats man. Let me know if anything you've got in your plant can be exported, perhaps there's something we can connect between PK and here in the US. I'm also friendly with PK's trade commissioner to Japan, so if there's any export potential there would love to see it. You can send via PM...

Let it be upset. If the outside of Pakistan groups can do vote out corrupt lawmakers in NA it would be good. I would vote my honest, hardworking aunt in Karachi in over any of these useless moochers.

A lot of people are noting that the improvement is due to debt relief. Well, that's actually a positive. If you can delay payments while growing the economy, then you will be able to pay off the debt faster when the payments start coming due. The slow growth in exports is due to structural...

LOL. Well played on the model plane references.

It is well past the point of just diplomatic talk. But I shan't waste any time with you.

Not PM, but seeing as this made it into the news today, I don't have a problem sharing it with you. I prefer not to say things until there are actual happenings...

If there's any kind of opportunity an offer needs to be made to Pakistani Americans to take over the hotel. If it is such a high value and prime hotel then with strong management it could be PIA's ace in the hole with additional cash flow. Disappointing to see this.

India has enough problems on their hands between the COVID crisis and economic problems at home. Pakistan isn't doing much better. If Pakistan really wants to pull a fast one on India...because a power exporter. Export products, export services, talent, etc. I can't and won't reveal my...

Peaceful nations do not need 700k troops to hold one province under house arrest. Peaceful nations do not need to try and cross a border with 20 aircraft to try and spark a full-blown war. Peaceful nations do not need to have their prime minister not whine about having Rafales for their failed...

Pakistan would be best served by simply having one tax code for every single business, or better yet, one straight flat tax. It eliminates a great deal of government to do so, and simplifies changes. The current code I'm given to understand has different rate schedules and deductions for...

Nominal GDP isn't adjusted for inflation, so given Pakistan's switch from a supported rupee to free float, it isn't a useful figure. As far as the debt to GDP ratio, again, given the switch from support to free float, it's rather hard to ascertain that things are as bad as you say they are...

I'm sorry but this is a massive mistake on IK's part. Here's a group who is ready to help him, has his back, wants to expand business in Pakistan, and also back him on Kashmir and yet he's running back to Saudi and UAE. I get that IK has to do what's best for Pakistan, but I would argue that...
