Foreign exchange reserves near all-time high - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
Read please. Those money we get from 3G sale doesn't mean all goes to forex reserve. We have debts and loans to pay, not just all money goes to forex.
Pakistan can go at or above Mexico's level in the next 15 years. Mexico sells a LOT to the US so that's always going to be big from a cash standpoint. But Pakistan's population is its key, so unlike Mexico, Pakistan has big enough population to healthily help sustain a larger economy ONCE the infrastructure and investments, labor and a SYSTEM is in place. Mexico is 5 times smaller than Pakistan in population, and Pakistan has a lot more education than Mexico. So that tells you Pakistan has a LOT of growth coming than Mexico.
Mexico is at number 15 today in the list of top 15 economies from a GDP's standpoint. Pakistan can beat that in 10-15 years. In fact, Pakistan can slide above Australia to number 12 with ease if the system keeps working and growth keeps taking place. Like Mexico's US consumer base for foods, etc, Pakistan will have 300-400 million ADDITIONAL Chinese consumer base through Gawader (without the overhead to provide for these people as they are Chinese), plus, whatever business Pakistan can get from Central Russian states. So its a win-win situation for Pakistan in the next 10-15 years.

With the amount of Natural Resources we have we should have had reserves of 100 Billion
Wildly optimistic considering the debt ridden economy of Pakistan which is basically surviving on handouts from IMF/WB/US/China. These reserves are mandatory minimum condition imposed by multilateral institutions so that central bank can stabilize the currency and prevent debt cost from rising.
Pakistan is essentially servicing debt by taking more debt which is a vicious cycle and can only come out of it if there is a large scale debt write off.
FDI from China in Gwadar is a welcome step but not a panacea for all ills facing the economy. Pakistan also has a huge competitor in India for attracting FDI. India offers a much more stable security environment, larger consumer base, more mature primary and secondary stock and currency markets, cheaper human capital, relatively better energy and sundry infrastructure in comparison to Pakistan.
Given a choice b/w India and Pakistan - a purely commercial decision would result in investment coming to India which is essentially what is happening. In short India is and would in future pull away investments from Pakistan from neutral countries and companies thus further restricting FDI.
I am not deriding Pakistan but stating things as they are

So what's your point behind all this gibberish? India was in worst condition in 1995..... "SOMEONE" came in and rescued them. You should put Bill Clinton next to Gandhi in India. It was his strategy sold by Rao and Singh from India, begging to help the Indian middle class to come up so the country can be a "hedge" against the Chinese. Thus, hundreds of billions of outsourcing to India, including American jobs!!!
So if your econmy solely grew and survived on American jobs, why would it be SO STRANGE for Pakistan to do so? In fact, they are not getting anyone's jobs, they are building their infrastructure and ports INTERNALLY. So if the US and Indian relationships go bad, the US can (and will) bring its investments back. We've been there done that many times.
But, if the Chinese and the Pakistanis get ticked off at each other, there is no "jobs" that China will bring back, they can get their money back, which Pakistan can pay starting in the next three or four years. But the infrastructure, ports, contracts with Central Russian states, Pakistan's own imports and exports and mineral trade, China can't take.
When people like you, who write out of hate and with an enemy-eye, it just sounds like a girl on periods. All enemy crap, no sense, just like there is 0 economic or financial logic behind your post.
In the next 5 years, India should be ready to see what I call is the "ultimate face off" economically, a MILLION Pakistan high tech software engineers will be hitting the world markets. All trained in the future tech, that is the Mobile Systems Development. Not legacy crap that now goes to India. So India is about to see some serious competition in her high-tech sector.
India is and has been stable based on the Western investments. Pakistan is now very stable too (even with RAW sponsored terrorism inside Baluchistan, Karachi, etc). And its only getting better.
By 2018, Pakistan will have $ 45+ billion in her savings account....meaning it can buy whatever weapons package on urgent basis and pay CASH. By the way, this $ 45 billion is "In Addition" to the Defense budget at the size of $ 10-12 billion, which is expected to reach that of Turkey's by 2020 (around $ 16-18 billion).
If you respond to this post, come back with facts. No need to show us your anger, frustration or even getting personal please. That's the usual response you get from Indians every-time there is a thread outlining something Pakistan succeeded in. Getting personal, calling names or writing silly frustration will make me request mods to ban you. And I'd rather have a good debate on facts, then asking people to get banned.
I agree. But that's when a system was actually working for the past 70 years!!! If a system started in 2013, can put a country out of bankruptcy and to a savings of $ 18 Billion in 2.5 years, a system working for the past 70 years, would've made you have over $ 200 billion by now. But its never too late. Its happening now and you'll get to a $ 100 billion mark in the next 10 years for sure. Much faster if some minerals, gold, or shale gas can be purified to hit the market soon, making additional $ 10-20 billion a year for Pakistan, or shale-gas or coal replacing expensive oil use (even under "cheaper" rates right now).
That's why you'll see me writing passionately about the need for Pakistan to continue with the system and NEVER derail it. A much better, stable and modern Pakistan is in front of everyone. I think at this point its pretty visible. But you guys will need to protect the system as a nation.
IMF loans .How is forex reseves growing? Our exports are declining so is it because of low oil prices or Pakistanis abroad sending more $$$ back home
hope so.Oh SNAP!!! These guys are way ahead of predictions!!!! The $ 20 billion was supposed to happen between December, 2015 and around the end of Q1, 2016!!!! At this rate, that now means by the end of Q1, you may be looking at $ 22 Billion!!! So by 2018, Pakistan should have around $ 45 - 50 Billion in her savings account, which was predicted to be the case in 2022!!!!
The person you quoted was giving his opinion in a peaceful manner. Only hatred and whining here is shown by you. None the less, good luck for future .

IMF loans
As an engineer , i don't know much about economics and how banks works. butIf you anything about the IMF and the WB....or a bank in general....you'd know a "LOAN" is classified as a DEBT and it doesn't go to the Foreign Currency Reserves!!! It goes directly to fund the project elements the IMF is loaning money on. Giving a check to the government for aid was ended in Mushy's time for GOOD. Loan checked are no issued for savings account. Read my above posts before calling things what they are not.
I have never seen this before. A country's people for their own political and other differences, do not appreciate people's work???? because someone's pro-military or pro-IK? What about Pakistan...?
