Shahbaz sharif hard work

Look he saved us..

Are you referring to the failed negotiation that IK tried to have with Chinese about power project cost?

The previous administration may have also tried to solve these problems. I do not know how quantifiable is Imran's success with this and how the problem is now compared to what it was 5 years ago. Maybe you know enough to explain with numbers

The Chinese negotiations failed- the non Chinese succeeded. You can look up the articles that detail how much the renegotiation saved.

I always maintained that macroeconomically PPPP did much better then PMLN
People laughed but stats dont lie

PMLN is credited for ending laod shedding and PPPP blamed for just focusing on thar coal, hydro and karachi nuclear plant (all of these feasibility/signing happened in PPPP era, sindh govt is large equity hilder in thar) and PMLn being called genious for using imported coal plants at sahiwal 1000s miles away from coast and LNG plants but guess what??
See the problem now..instead of solving the problem we are in bigger hole

PS
i think LNG plants were right move
But imported coal at shaiwal and at 20%RR was blunder

No one can explain Sahiwal to me in terms of economic sense. They criticize IK about fixed petrol prices - rightly - but just one project like Sahiwal sucks us dry for decades. Start off with the initial project and it looks so good because Pak getting FDI. Then project made with guaranteed returns in USD (USD leaving). Uses imported coal (USD leaving) but it has to travel on rail or trucks which use petrol (USD leaving). Last month its cost per kWh was up to almost 30 rupees per unit compared to negligible for dams and i think 1 rupee per unit for nuclear. Local coal is not bad. I have also yet to see one show by any anchor on this monstrosity. Lets just call IK hitler and feel good about ourselves instead.

previous admin was the one that put chinese plants in place. anyways, the negotiations were successful with other IPPs

A- as long as miftah is there as FM and ishaaq dar stays the f out
I am hopeful that they won't drastically change the policies and SS himself said economy is his primary focus so he might get support
PMLN is well PMLn but thankfully the worst of them NS, Dar are out of the picture (don't know for how long)
B- for true changes I don't think opposition is capable of that- I'll be blunt

Best I am expecting from this coalition is hold the fort, don't change too many policies, try to not let this momentum die -

But in tht long term I just don't see it in them to bring true changes- (but imo if PMLn FM absolutely has to come than this current duo of SS, miftah is 10 times better than dar, NS duo)

I was looking at them (IK administration) and they were aggressively looking to build core industries like steel, petrochemical without whom true industrialization is not possible (no one in Pakistan realized it or cared for it )
because of lack of these core industries you'll be stuck in textiles, and IT, mining for extra cash flow

this would be your limit without those core industries, you'll never go beyond a certain point

SS can only spend money, not earn it. they are not better, they are a part of the problem themselves.
