That is a good point. With a democracy facade and crying always for it, the focus is shifting now at least.have started to build institutional memory that is vital to deal with long-term challenges such as the economy of Pakistan.
I think of agriculture now as it is our forte and in other sectors, we can't compete Chinese. We can be a forefront of Chinese products to rest of the world through Karachi and Gawadar, with some of their production units installed in Pak.As you have said we need to think about what kind of SMEs? We want SMEs that involve:
1. Medium-to-high skill jobs
2. Manufacturing
3. IP Creation.
Add garments and other goods too. I also added, if we do research (Agri Uni Fsb) we can produce HQ mangoes, grapes, beef, with price 1000$/kg. Like wagyu beef.
Also, with SMEs I mean local business with providing better services and not products like electricians/plumbers.
Yes, as it is again a colonial era trend when we started providing services. too much babus, we produced for Sarakri naukri.Agricultural economy > manufacturing economy > services economy
Good point. As our graduates are being wasted anyway due to low quality education and no local consumption. I again put forward my old argument that prepare our secondary students for cheap western/eastern universities. At least they would not get wasted.Agreed again. We wanted shortcut and leapfrogged in education just like we did in industry (by skipping manufacturing phases).
