It hurts me that the economic or corrupt situation is not changing in Pakistan for the better.

Trade deficit is like a pendolum, it goes up and down. Economy has Improved a lot in last 4 years. There are thousands other parameters to judge economy. Trade deficit is one of them but not the only one.
Check other factors as well like
Forex reserves
Gdp growth
Stock exchange index
Inflation rate
Rate of Interest
Etc etc

It's half glass full and half empty situation.

No country has ever been so prejudiced against exports as Pakistan is now.

its not usual for emerging economies to have huge trade deficits when there is sudden surge of investment(makes common sense right, more investment, more imports)

for example india in last decade had large trade deficit,(yes i am talking in terms of GDP not actual, if i count actual each month deficit would be in nearly half of what we posted)

the thing that worreis me is that govt is not taking this serious and in future this would a big issue once inevestment dries up

What a signature you have. And mods won't be able to read it either, since they can only use Google Translate which won't give the correct translation.

For India, it was oil prices which determine our trade deficit mainly. The present CAD reduction is mostly due to depressed oil prices. If I were Pakistani, I would worry that why even after having low oil prices the CAD is widening.
