If you consider Extreme Poverty Line of World Bank then a small percentage of the total population is in poverty in Pakistan which is utterly misleading assessment.US dep of agri has better data about Pak eco than central bank of Pakistan? Even IMF and World Bank revised their projection wrt Pak economy but this man...
Farrukh Saleem, yellow charts and intellectual dishonesty should be read and write as synonyms from now onwards.
If you consider Multidimensional Poverty Index of World Bank then a much more 'realistic picture' of poverty situation emerge.
If you consider Mid Poverty Line of World Bank then even more realistic picture of 'poverty situation' emerge.
There is even Upper Poverty Line of World Bank to consider...
So what do you think is the situation in current times? Pakistani macro-economic indicators look better (loans being managed; reduction in imports; increase in remitances) but 'poverty situation' is worse than before. Factors such as inflation, reduction in imports and COVID-19 have damaged many households across Pakistan.
Pointless comparison in this thread to be honest.For any one rejoicing at the chart in the OP, should suck on these figures put out by UNU.
Which again begs the question, how accurate is the DATA by the US source.
As the Narendra Modi-led central government continues to pick pieces in the puzzle to rein in the coronavirus pandemic in India, the economic costs of the nationwide lockdown on millions of poor could be catastrophic. Projections based on a recent analysis by researchers at the United Nations University (UNU) show that, in the worst case scenario, 104 million more people in India could fall below the World Bank-determined poverty line of $3.2 a day for lower-middle-income countries. At present, 60 per cent of India’s population, or an estimated 812 million people, live below that poverty line.
Coronavirus impact: Over 100 million Indians could fall below poverty line
Job losses, destruction of informal sector and inadequate government support could push India back by a decade in poverty-reduction progresswww.business-standard.com
Sorry but your contention is on similar lines as that of any Patwari. You need to dig more into this subject or consult relevant experts in relation.These inbred Patwari fool wakes up in the morning and find all the fake and bad news about Pakistan and post it as a PhD thesis to please other inbred Patwaris on this forum.
Since when US Dept of agriculture became an authentic source of data about Pakistan?
what is next?
RSS daily news feed these patwaris will use to feed their inner traitor???
