US dollar hits all-time high of Rs142 in interbank market

hard cash is laundered thru money exchangers not from open market. $1000 dollars that someone will send to Pakistan from US is not actually sent to Pakistan but stays in US and instead that stolen money in Pak Rupee is given in Pakistan and $1000 in US goes to laundered's account in US
Its a very old practice of Hawala or Hundee.
 
This is why PPP gdp calculation is a better indicator. If we look at simply the nominal calculation, Pakistan's GDP would have fallen around 40% this year, simply because exchange rate went from 100/usd to 140/usd, might even go higher before the end of the year.
 
damn after reading some comments in this thread i think should change my field of finance, morale is going down as $$ is going up. :suicide:

Pakistan Tehreek Insaf introduced a 100 Day agenda consisting of 6 Major themes.

These themes have total 34 initiatives among them 21 are Federal initiatives and 13 are provincial initiatives.

exchange%20rate.PNG


It means over the course of 100 Days of government was not able to ensure investors and governments around the country politically that Pakistan is safe and on its way. If it had then with remittances of foreign investors currency would have appreciated in value but it is quiet contrary.

Pakistan’s foreign reserves

Analysts expect foreign exchange to dip further by the end of the week as month ends. The dip in foreign exchange was due to external payments and slow down in the arrival of foreign inflows.

Continuous decline in foreign exchange reserves led to devaluation of Pakistan rupee. The country need financial assistance especially from International Monetary Fund to meet the funding gap of $12 billion require during the current fiscal year.

The current account deficit was USD 590 Million on August 18th, 2018. While in October it was USD 950 million. It has widened despite of numerous steps taken by government.

Government need to refocus to mitigate the situation as current measures placed are not working out. Spear heading the economic matters isAsad Umer. He was elected Member of national assembly from NA-54, ICT III of affluent capital city of Pakistan.He is currently Minister of Finance. He was a successful corporate executive for 27 years. However as a legislator his tenure is less than 5 years.

current.PNG


Currently major economic indicators are not reflecting progress towards promises made in political campaign, manifesto and 100 Day agenda of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf.

The promised economic turnaround will not only lift living standard of people, it will also restore Pakistan’s flight from being emerging markets to developed country.It will provide jobs to majority of unemployed youth. It will lift millions out of poverty. It is audacity of hope which kept this nation afloat throughout history. But time will tell is the nation in right hands or still it has to go the distance to find right leaders. Because in these 100 days nation was not given what was promised.

PMLN 1st 6 months and last 6 month were based upon sanity first three years were partially checked by loose imf program

It seems clear the whole focus was mpney laundering and commissions

Good thing is first PML supporters were all is good tone

Your ppp govt was really bad , but pmln i wont judge in a hurry . Lets see what pmln did in the ground -
1. Drastically reduced power cuts.
2. Lahore and islamabad bus metros helping millions.
3. Revived the dead pakistan railways.
4. CPEC agreement with china.
5. Turkish and chinese cos hired fir garbage disposal.
6. Great highways since previous term.

Its only negative in the eyes of hardliners here is that they tried to improve relations with india , which the army cant tolerate.

Pakistan has systemic issues with its economy which cant be solved in a couple of years , but nawaz sharriff made a start.
No shortcuts except -
Get infrastructure like power and roads.
Start small with import substitution industries.

Not one indicator looks positive after Imran Khan took over. Very bad and very sad indeed.

To be fair, it would have happened with any leader. Even Warren Buffet as PM cannot prevent a currency from falling after IMF bailout, they do drive a very hard bargain. INR fell drastically in the 90s after IMF bailout. Nawaz Sharif, Musharraf and definitely not the Zardari kid could have done anything. Nawaz Sharif might have negotiated a higher amount from Saudi Arabia, but that's the best there is, that would have only postponed the IMF bailout.

My friend dollar going up means we earn more foreign exchange and our exports go up and outflow of our cash reduces.

than let's just straightaway fix dollar rate@500 rupees, our exports will skyrocket, right?
this is not how export goes up, you have to create an environment for domestic production at reasonable cost.

Fuel prices went down so where are all those who cried inflation?

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/fuel...ol-diesel-kerosene-down.589496/#post-10983262
goes up, say 100, comes down, say 30.--- yeah, no increase in price :lol::lol:

lol...……. what will I do with items in my store rooms …… lmao …… and what will I export ??????? lol man … this line of his is like ,,,, "Roti nahi hai tu cake kha lu".
lol he is a rich guy whit lots of land ……. with a rich father so I don't blame him ….. he and his kind have no idea how a middle class work ….
you should seriously think about starting desi murghi business .....
 
If you can't manage a economy with China help what hope do you have going forward

China are the masters of manufacture and exports

You have learnt nothing from them in forty years of alliance or is it they intentionally taught you zero
