Top 5 Reasons To Stay Away From Pakistan

[protest]

Stop poking your filthy noses in a thread, which has nothing to do with your country.
That was the message, if you cant read between the words.

You really don't understand the concept of 'reading between the lines'. Stop embarrassing yourself. And you started it.

37 million at 12200? I calculated, even assuming Pakistan population to be 190 million, per capita should have been $2375 ignoring the rest 153 million people. Only Riaz can pull it off.

Do the calc again.... $12,500 times 37 million is 462 billion. And then consider the fact that Pakistan's PPP GDP is almost a trillion US dollars now.

Mate are you really that stupid? GDP per capita is just the GDP divided by the population. It is not a very good indicator of average wealth in third world countries. For example, a country like Ghana,

He is using the same math that Modi used to up India's GDP growth rate… This western system of math is flawed, Vedic math is the best math

deals requiring more than $ 10 million rupees

what ?

PPP GDP is not the same as nominal....

When you do business, you deal with actual dollars at current exchange rates, not dollars at PPP exchange rate. So come down to the actual ~260 billion dollar market with maybe ~120 billion dollar divided amongst those 37 million turning out to be around $3,200/annum actual market which a foreign company can target.

Pakistan IS a small market.

So what nonsense are you trying to propagate....

that guy who earlier said you should be propaganda minister isn't really that wrong....I'm sorry if that offends you, but I've presented actual facts.

■ 37M people with GDP per capita > $12,200

○ Comparable to South Africa and China

China?Are you sure?

Yes, he is talking about the elite and upper middle class of pakistan.

Yes, he is talking about the elite and upper middle class of pakistan.

Products sold by multi-nationals like Pepsi, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble and Honda or Toyota in Pakistan are not western prices. So the relevant measure is buying power of consumers in Pakistan is in PPP $, not nominal US $.

Let me explain to you in different words. Pakistan does not have a trillion dollars to spend every year. It spends 260 billion dollars. The 37M you say spend $12,500 a year, spend only $3,200 in actual a year, but that buys them goods that would otherwise sell for $12,500 in other countries (or their standard). Meaning an item costs $12,500 in other countries but sells for only $3,200 in pakistan.

A business would obviously profit if they could invest in pakistan using current exchange rate and then take back profits using PPP exchange rate...

You should either :

-get educated on economics.
-stop writing non-sense.

Actually, he may not be all correct, but he's not too far off on other items. Current forecast puts Pakistan at per Capita GDP at around $ 4600 and India at around $ 5200. Pakistan's economy is around 900 Billion, expected to hit over a trillion next year. Everything else he wrote about the growth potential, current big projects and future forecast isn't too far off from the IMF and the World bank forecasts.

 

[SHAMK9]

Pakistan's economy is around 900 Billion, expected to hit over a trillion next year

For real?

 

[Viper0011.]

For real?

Overall, yes. The prediction is, that Pakistan would become the 18th largest economy by 2050. I think this can happen by 2030-2035 if you can find hard working leaders. 20 years are enough for a country to climb 20 + numbers, you are the 6th largest populated country so it shouldn't be out of the ordinary.
India really started its offshore journey in 1995, and today, its the 3rd largest economy. 20 years is ALL it took. It should be the same for Pakistan.

I can counter that argument but I don't want to waste my time.

Cheap shot. But in any case if I use the same logic as Riaz, India might be having a 400 million people of over 12500$ since India is already 8 trillion dollar economy. Soon to be 10 trillion. But that would be just some random numbers nothing else.

Vedic maths is the foundation for all maths today. For you to make mockery of that shows your stupidity.

Actually, he may not be all correct, but he's not too far off on other items. Current forecast puts Pakistan at per Capita GDP at around $ 4600 and India at around $ 5200.

Nope. IMF latest forecast was on October 2014, It gave India per capita PPP of 5777 and Pakistan 4746. Pakistan PPP GDP was 884 billion. So if 37 million people make more than 12500$ a year, the rest 153 million must be making closer to $2000 per year. Thats similar to sub saharan countries. And that 153 million is about 80% of your population.
