Foreign SEZ investors to enjoy full ownership benefit in Pakistan

.
Exactly my point.

Where are our benefits?

Exactly my thought...what're we reaping??

Why full ownership? Is Pakistani land up on sale for foreigners or something??

If you're gonna sell them land then at least charge double or triple the price.

I have also heard someone say "no tax"...like wtf??

There should also be a "hire locals/Pakistanis" only policy (like someone else in the thread said)...as we know the Chinese like to bring in labor from the mainland and also material too.

I'm deeply saddened by this outcome. :angry:

Considering The Trade War We Are Expecting Quite A Lot Here

Right, we're expecting a lot but nothing has been delivered yet?

On top, news like these come out every month or so...

The public needs to know what the original points of the deal was between China and Pakistan. :(

Foreigners will not pay taxes and their profit in rupees will be converted to $, using Arab aid and remittances, if that's not enough rupee will be devalued.

That's not beneficial. What are we going to gain?

They will have to pay their taxes to operate

Who said they wont pay taxes

Jobs and value addition.

For example an investor purchased raw material in 100 and sale it in 200 and make a profit of 20 to send it back. the addition of 80 rupees will be in pakistan received by employees and local vendors ... the idea is to push hard for generating employment and make Pakistan destination of multinational manufacturing chain with low cost of production ... however i feel the benefit is only in high end industties as they have much higher value addition chain. There is no use of generating employment in industries like garments where wage pay is very low and people will remain poor ... but still at start its better than nothing

Foreigners will not pay taxes and their profit in rupees will be converted to $, using Arab aid and remittances, if that's not enough rupee will be devalued.
Things dont work loke that exactly ... profit is 10% at max ... actual product will either be exported or will be an import sibstitute ... so new industry will save 90% of foreign currency out of 100% which was going out in form of imports or loss exports

All the hype is great and all but there are conflicted news...some say the investors don't pay any taxes and some say they do??

Now we have this news coming out...

I would like to see the data and facts if anyone has them (with sources!). :enjoy:
