I think this scale is very limited if we are trying to measure the economic performance of PTI government. We should also include the following to get a much better comparison by 2023

1. GDP
2. Debt
3. Export/import imbalance
4. Inflation
5. Foreign Reserves
6. FDI
7. Remittances

Actually, you are right.. It's not just Rupee that has to be measured.. it's the whole economy. I will try to find out figures of different economic indicators and will post them here.

Still PM in waiting IK and new cabinet is to take oath in couple of days, so this is not First day!

1.GDP per capita and GDP growth
2. Debt to GDP ratio and external debt to GDP as debt in absolute terms is not the right way to look at it. Also GDP growth will haopen if you take huge debt but if this increase your debt to GDP ratio it means you accumulated MORE DEBT THAN growth as it happened in PML N era (went from 61% to 74% & 19% to 27%)
3. CAD is more imp which is bit comlicated but majorily its inflows vs out flows obviously exports is the main driver in CAD.this automatically has FDI remittances etc in it..so lets remittances drop but your exports go up really high i will call it a sucess not failure..but your exports drop and remittances go up than its a failure
4. HDIand social sector spending is key as health and education makes 25% of global economy
5. Fiscal deficit (at 7% today) and govt entities losses(waste of money)
6. Major revenue producing projects (that makes money and stimulate economy like dams)
7. Break down of gdp to see more broad growth rather than just consumption and services alone

Ps:
Stock exchange is your market doesn't really predict anything apart from market situation

 

[ziaulislam]

If you look at PPPP vs PML N
You will notice PPPP fared at around 4% vs 5%(i am going to take out the massivw flood yr where growth was at 0%)
But if you look at debt, CAD, social spending and fiscal deficit PMLN did FAR WORSE meaning more or less they performed similarly

Yes and no they categorized it wrong. Some promises were meant to take 5 years and more, some were to be initiated in first 100 days. They didn't take into account that.
