Asad Umar Interview!

@maximuswarrior

Rofl when you're cheerleading IMF bailout just tell me what are IMF conditions they will impose on us after the bailout.
Are you aware of it please post it here and if this is just food price rise I will not oppose it.

Please also tell for whom this bailout is for. Not the average taxpayer for the daakus and robbers in PIA to reward them for their 'great service' and political backing.

IMF is designed to suit US interests, what would be the conditions imposed? USA in every meet with a Pakistan icounterpart asked them when they will be comntacting IMF. And IMF in every meet has been showing displeasure in Chinese building infrastructure like roads in balochistan, dams in Azad Kashmir. This is just apiece of info. there is much more details in which US needs to attain leverage to arm-twist us according to their desires.

In early 70s Pakistan had partially defaulted under bretton woods when Mubashir Hassan was Finance Minister and the institutions themselves gave cushion to Pakistan.
IMF has already pushed half of Pakistan under poverty just for some thugs in the govt. its not going to hurt us thtat much.
Pakistanis have been squeezed so hard under IMF, even default is a great option it will rid us of this sh*thole public companies that have survived on taxpayer money to screw the taxpayer.

This corporate guy Asad Umar should deliver on his huge mainfesto like the diaspora bonds, or bringing taxpayer money back from corrupts bank accounts or reduce import bill.
PTI needs to deliver of imposing taxes on wealthy and privatizing these deadhorses PIA and steel mill. or just default.

We will survive, when we can survive IMF conditions we can survive anything

I have already explained that IMF should be the absolute last resort. Sometimes you just run out of options and we have to keep that in mind. PTI and the people of Pakistan got robbed by PML-N and PPP for the last 10 years. We are in this situation today because both these political parties destroyed Pakistan's economic outlook.

I am not an IMF cheerleader. I am a very strong critic of IMF/WB. I know their dirty dealings.

I strongly agree with your statements apart from the Asad Umar cheer leading for IMF remarks. As a leader you have to leave all options open because 12 billion dollars is a huge sum. You think PTI won't be exhausting all other avenues before knocking on IMF door?

If I were PTI I would try to exhaust all other options as much as possible and try to keep the IMF loan at a bare minimum.

PTI should try to renegotiate the terms of repayment. Try to buy some time. It is a new government with a lot energy and goodwill to repair the economic damage. If IMF doesn't become political it might listen. It is in best will of IMF to provide the new government some breathing space.

The day PTI gets into office they need to reach out to expats hectically.

Then why are PTI trolls making case for IMF on social media? Why are they confusing import bill with external debt?
Whay is the average citizen being confused regarding payment of the trade bill as payment for the e. debt scheduled for a latter time?

U-turn Khan went to UK few months back and their he told the brit journos that he will go to IMF. His so-called Finance Minister corporate Asad Umar first statement is about how the world is crashing down on us and we need to go to IMF.

They first need to deliver on overseas Pakistani support which they barked for 10+ years. Diaspora bond diaspora sukuk, etc.. Pakistan has 2-3 FTAs in the freezer right now. Malaysia, Turkey and China
This joke Asad Umar did'nt talk about any of it. He should've instilled confidence by saying we are going into negotiation to secure FTA thru FDI w/our friends and allies.

IMF is being lobbied by Tribune, Dawn dalaals for one year and currency market was taken onboard to artificially inflate the dollar.

We are a very resilient nation we have the ability to reach food security with our own country resources. We are not Bangladesh that needs to import basic food necessities.

We will survive even if we default. Its going to be blessing in disguise as it'll rid us of the goons in PIA and Steel mill,

We will face problems but at least we will be making our own decisions not implementing US agenda and weakening ourselves strategically and socially.

No party[PPP or PML-N] before has been able to implement manifesto due to running to IMF for feeding goons in PIA and Provincial Govt. Avoiding IMF, will benefit PTI more than anyone.
If they go then it's fate will be worse than ANP.

LOL So you take your info from social media? Wake up man. Anyone can say anything on social media.

BS. IK never said this in the UK. Please provide a solid source instead of making statements.

Calm down. Imran Khan hasn't even been sworn in yet and you are already attacking him for something he isn't even responsible for. If Imran Khan is a U-turn Khan, Nawaz Sharif and Zardari are cancer. Like I said, you wanna be angry? How about being angry at PML-N and PPP for ripping off Pakistan for decades? It is not the PTI which has destroyed the Pakistani economy. You love to direct your anger at IK and Asad Umar, but know damned well who is responsible for the misery.

You wanna be angry and call names? How about Panama Nawazoo for a starter?

If anything PTI has brought the economic agenda back to the table. The economic situation wasn't even on the radar for so many years. Suddenly everyone is awake and worried about the Pak economy when this sh!t was written on the wall long ago. Welcome to the party. Instead of blaming IK and others just present solutions. Calling Imran Khan U-turn Khan or Asad Umar an IMF cheer leader wont' conceal the fact who is really responsible for the economic malaise in Pakistan.

Even if the new government decided to go to IMF this mess is on PML-N and PPP. That's just a fact. It wouldn't be my preference, but I would have sympathy for the new government.

London-based Exotix Capital: "Coalition led by PTI has become more likely"



Exotix Capital, a UK investment firm specializing in emerging markets, hosted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief
Imran Khan at its London headquarter this week. After the event, a tweet from the firm said the PTI Chief addressed "senior representatives of some of the world’s biggest institutional investors" at this meeting.

During discussion that followed his presentation, Imran Khan showed "Reluctant acceptance that IMF assistance may be necessary" and expressed "pragmatism on the need for constructive US relations" and "regret over the lack of transparency of pricing in Chinese-led infrastructure projects", according to a report.

Based on the events in Pakistan since July, 2017 beginning with the disqualification of Mr. Nawaz Sharif from holding elected office, analysts at Exotix have concluded that a "coalition led by PTI has become more likely". The analysts say this is "positive long term, warning short term"

From your own source you can read the following: Imran Khan showed "Reluctant acceptance that IMF assistance may be necessary".

Imran is reluctant to go the IMF route. Like I said, you cannot shut any doors in the real world. Have some faith.

In the meanwhile please cuss PML-N and PPP. The real culprits.
