pakistan should allow India to invest in pakistan so that we both can benefit.

i support this suggestion .. but their is too much potics in india pakistan ..now i have heard modi is coming in power .. i dnt expect he will be intrested in this option
 
.
He is mad or what?
  • Civil Aviation Authority
  • Karachi Port Trust
  • Port Qasim Authority
  • National Highway


These should not be privatized at all.????
Rather I would what to know that will HMC going to be privatized or not???

The financial sector entities selected for sale in the first phase include National Bank of Pakistan, First Women Bank, Small and Medium Enterprises Bank, National Investment Trust Limited, National Insurance Company Limited, Pakistan Reinsurance Company Limited, State Life Insurance Corporation and House Building Finance Corporation.

These above mentioned Financial institutes should be 100% privatized......

Karachi Port Trust? Port Qasim Authority? The only problem with these are that the idiots in management cant seem to get containers through.


OK Dear Before You Get Another Bout of Fabian Socialism That Our So Called Kaiser Bengali Type Economists Feed Into Your Head Through The Media.Let Me Clarify Some Things First.

There Are Multiple Modes of Privatisation. Privatisation Does Not Just Mean That You Sell Off State Assets to The private Sector.That Is Called Divestiture.There Are Many Forms Of Privatisation.It Includes
1.Partial Privatisation(Selling Part of The Shares and Partial Management Control)
2.Privatisation with Golden Shares(The Government Keeps A Significant Portion of Shareholding in Privatised Strategic Organizations in Order toVeto Any Move That It Considers To Be Against The National Interest)
3.Management Contract(Like The One The Government Did With Gwadar Giving Management To China,Yes Gwadar Is Privatised)
In This The Government Retains Ownership But Gives Operational Control
4.Converting to Public Private Partnerships(Name Needs No Explanation).
5.TOT(Transfer Operate Transfer) and ROT(Rehabilitate Operate Transfer Contracts)
So Not All Entities Need To Be Privatised In The Same Way.So Don't Be Fooled By These So Called Economists.
Let Me Gibe You The Example of India.Uptill The 1990s Pakistan's Airports Were Far More Advanced Than The Soviet Built Indian Ones.But Then They Reformed The Setup.Separated The Civil Aviation Sector To Two Bodies DGCA(Now Called CAA) AND AAI(Airport Authority of India)Through This Mechanism They Privatised Their Airports By Converting Them To PPPs and Now Look At Them

This Is Just One Of Many Examples Of Global Best Practices Of Opening Up Infrastructure To Private Investment.Just Remember Dear That A Civil Service Officer Can Never Be As Dynamic ans A Private Entrepreneur.

Privatisation of Vital Infrastructure May Be The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Pakistan.This Will Open Up This Sector To massive Private Investment.Opening Up The Ports Sector Will Bring Massive FDI Considering The Ultra Strategic Location Of The Country

I think selling 100% the financial institutions would be the best idea... in the first phase...

Oh God Not You Again,Anyway I Have Never Denied It But When You Run Down My Country Don't Expect Me To Show Any Respect To Your Fancy Chrome and Glass Airports.If A Reasonable Indian Talked With Me May Be I Would Have respected His Claim But The Arrogance You Had Shown Was Uncalled For.I Realised That I Was Wasted A Good Two Days Just Answering Your Troll Attacks.That Is Why I Just Left The Thread.


FYI
1.I Was Quoting Indian Airports As An Example of The Benefits Of Enhanced Private Sector Participation Because It Was The Easiest I Could Come Up With.Otherwise There Are Numerous Examples and Cases of Best Practices From All Over The World I Could Come Up With.
2.You Should Put These Claim Before Your Countrymen Who Visited Our Country and Had A Pleasant Experience At Our Airports
3.These Airports Are The Result of Reforms Of Opening Up The Sector To FDI and Private Investment on PPP Model and Are In No Way India Specific.In Fact Turkey Is Planning To Build The Largest Airport In The World on BOT Model.I Do Not Know When India Started The reforms Of Opening Up The Infrastructure For Private Sector Investment.But You Should Google Medium Term Development Framework 2005-2010.We Had Also Planned Infrastructure Development Along The Same Lines Yes Ports Airports Railways Mass Transit Everything.All The Legal Spadework Was Done In This Regard.An SPV Known As Infrastructure Project Development Facility Was Set Up

I know that,what happened to Karachi metro & stuff.You were claiming that Indian airports are no where close to yours in another thread.

I will be more worried if they work under Government instead of their Privatization ..

They have already lost their reputation especially PIA so it seems to be a good move .. :tup:

Shaukat Aziz Was Successful In Creating A Business Friendly Environment.This Is Why People Wanted To Do Business.We Have Already Had An Excellent Experience With Deregulating Telecoms.Under The MTDF We Were Going To Extend This Policy and Development Our Infrastructure Under PPP mode.What Happened Was.In Karachi The Metro Project Was In Final Stages Of Planning with Help Of Swiss Company It Was Called Karachi Magno-Metro.Similarly Dubai Was Planning Massive Investments In Karachi Which Would Have Made It 'Dubai 2.0'.Both The Waterfront and Diamond Bar Island Were Examples Of This.This Is Aside From The Gwadar Deep Seaport and Trade and Energy Corridor Project Which Has Been Revived By Nawaz Government As Pak China Economic Corridor

What Happened You Ask????? Democracy That Is What Happened:hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::hitwall:


BTW I Did Not Say Anywhere That Pakistani Airports Were Far Ahead Of Indian Ones.I Merely Quoted Your Countrymen Praising The Service In Our Airports and Provided Links Pointing Out To Flaws In Your Airports with Relevant Links.However If This Was The 1980s and Soviet Built Indian Airports Were Compared With The Then Newly Renovated And Rehabilitated Jinnah International,I Might Have Said This


I Grant That You had A Continuity of Policy and Relative Stability Which Is Why You Succeeded Otherwise These Things Which You Boast Of Now Were Also Coming Our Way(Industrial Corridors SEZs etc.)

AFAIK Karachi metro proposal was no maglev.

For All I Have Said In Favor of Privatisation,I Am Worried About How Nawaz &Co Privatise State Entities.When MCB Was Being Privatised, Benazir Rejected An Offer of Rs60 Billion But Nawaz Gave It To Mian Mansha For Rs.19 Billion Which Was The Third Highest Bid Rejecting The Highest Bid Of Tawakal Group.I Have Good Reason To Be Worried

If this news of privitization of Karachi Port Trust & Port Qasim Authority is true, then Karachi anti-criminal operation is the reason of this decision. Killing of Gaffar Zikri might also has direct relation with this decision as he was operating in Kutchi community and I think sea ports are main working locations of this community. Therefor, Gaffar Zikri's ability to control the operations of these ports through Kutchi community is the reason of his killing.

I think, India will reform to Open Up The Infrastructure projects For FDI Investment in very limited scope, as most of these projects would have a strategic significance for us.
