Pakistan convinces international community for aid, investment

[joekrish]

Opening up trade with India could bring in some funds though a few things need to be soughted out.

 

[Kaniska]

We are becoming begging bowl of the world but still a lot of Pakistanis are digging articles on poverty or hunger in India vs Africa.

Thanks for your honesty in bringing up this suggestion...But again...i feel as an immdiate neighour, India should ready to assist Pakistan is developing potential to increase the trade...

Only to have it stolen by our corrupt politicians. I say the world should leave Pakistan on its own and bring sanctions back so the poor awam will for once take charge of their affairs.

Shame on countries like UAE, Switzerland and UK who give refuge to our daciot politicians.

Stupid Politicians, we can survive without 'aid'

 

[MilSpec]

5.27 Billion means, full strength squadrons of j10b's, Long range missiles and additional 100 jf17's, new submarines and maybe development of new light stealth project.... Nikal padi

There is no shame about it, these are mostly investment loans.
For -aid- per se , even the richest person may inquire for aid due to circumstances. And the others know that he can return the favour.

 

[Developereo]

ahh yes, another begger expedition to secure funds for more over-staffed government and more 5-star all expenses paid foreign trips, as well as bribe money to keep people (brainless dead-weights, liabilities) loyal to PPP

Exactly. He went to collect payment for the Parliamentary recommendations to reopen NATO routes.

Tax reforms, Land reforms need of the hour else you will keep convincing International community again and again.. Sorry, if that sounds rude..

This continuos dependency on intl AID is making Pakistan behave like an “addict” who refuses to help himself. Pakistan had failed to come out of the economic crisis because of a lack of will on its part. Aid can help to pacify the short term difficulties but it cannot be the sole agent of bringing about the much needed reform in Pakistan. Pakistan has to go to the basics & start reform, no matter how unpopular or hard work it is!!

 

[Khalnaldo]

Pakistan need tax reforms and increasing export instead of taking loans. Already huge chunk of Pakistan budget is wasted in repaying debt.

true. I swear there are so many rich people in the country who evade tax. if they were all accounted for, they wouldn't need to spread their hands in front of USAID, IMF and other European countries!

 

[Edevelop]

Overseas Pakistanis posing confidence in Pakistan will send $ 13.5 billion this year, reflecting a 21 per cent increase from last year’s $ 11.2 billion

Well if this is true, then its a pretty good amount.

IMWO, we Pakistanis should open a donation organization. Rather than making it another 'for the needy' type thing, lets open something that will raise money to improve infrastructure and do developments in the country.
... This is another alternative to tax

Pakistan needs heavy investment in its resource sector. It is just stupid that the government isn't paying attention to the natural resource area where Pakistan can easily generate a lot of revenue from.

Selling your natural resources is not a business..we should first development the technical infrastructure needed to exploit the resource.

The Western corporates are the main causes of problem in this whole world. Everyone knows that they bribe...
Either we need a revolution to change this whole government, take corporates to International Court of Justice, or wage an inside war against them i.e by developing special forces.

-- Our tax structure is very similar to that of India's. So not much there.
-- Land reforms is a socialist and commie idea that failed in Indian Bengal and miserably. Land snatching is also practiced African commie countries and all of them went from net producers to begging bowls. So no go for commie land grab in Pakistan.

As an Indian you should be sharing with us the same things that worked for India and some of them are:

1. Strong pro-USA policies at the level of people (and not just gov to gov)
2. Humble and friendly masses especially to the Gora visitors
3. pro-USA Indians who are in USA and EU (as opposed to Islamist-Paks who live bread and eat in the West and still are anti-USA)
4. Smart Industrialists who want and do global trade.


By the way this is the same formula of success used in South Korea, China, Japan, South Africa
On the other hand tribal Africans, tribal Arabs, tribal Iranians, and north Koreans do not believe in this formula and that's why all of these are in the gutter of poverty.

We had the 4 point success formula in the 60s under Ayub military gov. Too bad our commie Bhutto looted and destroyed all that.

So I urge you not to preach us the commie policies.

Peace.
