Yup thats what we have 7 times the population yet perform better , still we are shit in the ranking
Iran is at 60 with all the sanctions

Iran has something everyone wants Oil thats why they are better off also they have much more educated base of workers and population than all the sub continent plus they have history of being an empire and well planned centralized sector plus they are more homogeneous in ethnic and religious being mostly Shia and like 85 percent Persian so its easy to rally around than multi ethnic soup like India

Well you are not an Indian , i am one. I know the ground reality , still we have long way to go , India is still piss poor in standard of living and well behind that Eastern Asian countries but i believe in acknowledging the reality instead of fake bravado

Well at least you admit India is s...thole and not the supa powa your media and fanatical politicians claim all the time

We were not aggressors in February. It was your general elections which flared up the recent tensions between the countries.

Well thats debatable , you have your own narrative , we have our own while this isnt the topic of discussion
First step for Pakistan should be acknowledging that Pakistan needs long way to go , accept the problem and then procede to find solutions.
As an sane Indian(not the false bravado types) i accept India is piss poor and a shithole and has long way to catch up with the rest

Human development index says something else , please back your statements with facts
http://hdr.undp.org/en/composite/HDI
India rank is 130 while Pakistans 150
If Pakistani better off than an Indian then why is life expectancy lower than indias whil Bangladeshs is higher than India

This is because of the cumulative growth factor, Pakistan HDI rank over a period of 72 years of independence and post BD was much higher than India and that of BD, only in the last 8 years India matched Pakistan in GDP per capita and passed it... so was overall HDI for Pakistan over a period of 72 years.

So the cumulative growth advantage(Pakistan per capita GDP was twice that of India) for about 40 years or so, is still there and will take some doing to diminish it.

Like an Indian higher GDP last 6 years or so compared to Pakistan is still not equal to Pakistan higher GDP than India for last 60 years or so(per capita)...

The reason you see less multi dimensional poverty in Pakistan even with a lower per capita GDP(of late) than India...

Also there are some other reasons for it....

Pakistan has her own date with destiny as does India and Bangladesh.

Any financial model that obstructs/dictates foreign policy of a country is not a risk worth taking. A solution is always better when it is local in nature and not 2500 kms away and 60 years old in ideology.

You can thank Pakistani Rangers (and Police) for cleaning up Karachi of the militant wings and gangs of MQM, PPP, and ANP.

Other credit should go to PTI for freeing the mindset of Muhajirs, Sindhis, Pukhtoons, and others of Karachi of ethnic racist leaders of the above mentioned parties.

It really needs to be cleaned out these shanty towns plus I hate the fact some people tolerate the old school piping system in which sewage is deposed fix that I am not saying we will change over night but better housing means better living standards

All fascist governments employ mass diversion tactics and this comes not as a surprise to anyone on the forum.

The ideologue behind this economic model presented in the OP is disturbingly similar to Aalo Gosht syndrome.

"ECONOMIC MODEL"folks in the English language press of Pakistan still dont lnow that

We will need several terms of PTI, but in sha Allah, we will fix all of these issues.

Right now it is important to turn economy around and send these corrupts and ibna e corrupts to jail.

the capitalist dream they are snoring about will lead to complete re-haul of economics in Pakistan. They are hastening their eventual demise by constantly poking at this.

They are paid lobbies actually and are just doing their job. However these 'expert' opinions do carry weightage when the GoP is technocratically run.

The GOP really needs to do someting we projecting its own vision because the English Language is an International language used by the news media to reach far reaching audiences the GOP thinks their suggestions are right which is wrong mindset needs change in that regard

The GoP has created an aura where it feels more 'protected' and 'opinionated' by technocrats rather than elected members of the parliament who are even worse offenders than these 'opinion makers'.

It is an alarming situation to say the least.

They have begun that. You will see the results soon.

Inshallah soon but its wait and see

Situation is too dire and there is too much at risk for any other solution.

PTI will be given several terms, and the only other alternative is a military coup which no one wants.

The State should only be the entity entitled for mass propagation not politicized media houses. Sadly Musharaf did not have the mental capacity to turn down money when offered something IK is thriving in too.

ISLAMABAD: *Pakistan economy can double to $700 billion by following 'Bangladesh model'.*

Jahangir Akhtar, a veteran leader of the trading community, has supported the statement of a minister proposing to follow Bangladesh’s model to ensure rapid economic growth.

“Development like Bangladesh is difficult but not impossible. Cooperation of the business community will be vital in this regard,” he remarked.

Talking to reporters on Thursday, Jahangir Akhtar said that the growth rate of Bangladesh is 8.13pc, while its currency is stable. “Its (Bangladesh’s) stock exchange capitalization is three times larger than that of Pakistan.”

He noted, “Bangladesh’s exports are almost double to Pakistan. Its GDP is $300 billion which will jump to $700 billion in the next eleven years. In comparison, Pakistan’s GDP is shrinking to $280 billion.”

There is so much Pakistan can learn from Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a rising economic power of South Asia and a success story of tolerance and unity in an unstable region of the world.
