US offers strong support to rebuild Pakistan’s economy

[Menace2Society]

Suddenly USA cares for Pakistan? But wouldn't give you spare parts and ammunition for the F-16s and other equipment during wars?

Sadly they never did, since the 50s the support was there to oppose Soviet influence. Pakistan got used like Ukraine for the Afghan-Soviet war, radicalized our society and allowed dictators to rule. Got threatened to comply for WOT, blamed for everything, staged OBL incident in Pakistan to bring "closure" facilitated by corrupt PPP. Promoted corrupt PMLN and PPP for influence sake and thrown away like used tissue paper. Left with a shattered economy and ultra radicalized society.

USA wont give Pakistan any substantial funds or investments. It will be peanuts. They dont have the money like Chinese, who can give tens of billions with no problem.

Its a major mystery why US expects every country in Asia to gang up against China, but really dont have anything substantial to offer in exchange for that, except Arms.

Those claims are made only by those who are beneficiaries (and their cronies) of the existing system that does not want to carry out the structural reforms or the anti-money laundering steps required to put Pakistan's financial house in order. What the IMF recommends is only based on sound financial principles, and what the FATF mandates is good practice for preventing terrorism financing. Following both is only good for Pakistan, but not for its elite.

Pakistan has completed more FATF conditions than some other countries but remains on the grey list. Reason: Politics.
You can list all the theories you want but please don't sell it to me.

Pakistan has completed more FATF conditions than some other countries but remains on the grey list. Reason: BECAUSE IT HAS NOT FUFILLED ALL THE CONDITIONS IT WAS REQUIRED TO FULFILL.

There, fix'd it.

I am not selling anything. Reality makes it own way forward.

So the Iron Brother is not all that solid, it seems.

No body will lend their hard earned money if they don’t know what or who they are dealing with. The govt is facing massive legitimacy challenges internally and externally as well. There are tough decisions to take but they don’t have the time to manage the political costs. Shows you that changing govt. midway without proper mandate, legitimacy and time period will result in a disastrous mess.
Anyway a new low has been reached in our ‘democracy’ where the ‘elected’ PM is asking COAS to endorse petrol price increases (face palm!)

You haven't fixed anything except your overlarged ego.

The real power center in Pakistan is well-known, and the go-to entity for all serious issues, both internal and external.

For economy? Not true in my opinion. IMF wont care what COAS has to say, they will only look at terms technically and deal with Finance Ministry and hold them accountable for terms. For security and foreign policy aspects, yes you are right to an extent.

Hours after Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari arrived in New York on Tuesday for a series of meetings with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a State Department spokesperson assured Pakistan of strong US support for their efforts to rebuild the Pakistani economy.The United States “will continue to work bilaterally on ways to grow investment and trade opportunities to build a prosperous and stable Pakistan,” the spokesperson told Dawn in Washington.The United States also “welcomes the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) deliberations with Pakistan,” the spokesperson added.Also, IMF sources in Washington confirmed that Pakistan and the IMF would start their review talks in Doha on Wednesday (today) to strike a staff-level agreement for the release of a $1 billion tranche under an Extended Fund Facility (EFF).The week-long review will be an opportunity for Pakistan to convince the IMF to revive a stalled $6bn package for stabilising its cash-starved economy.

It's like offering aid to Japan or Vietnam after bombing those countries to stone age...

THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANYTHING!!!

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!

US must do more for Kashmir

They will do. They will ask Pakistan to give up Kashmir and focus on what you have....and no surprises if Pakistan agrees....( you can notice the behaviour of Governments/Establishment for past 3 years)

The Biden crime family will give money to anyone if they agree to give back a percentage to his personal bank account. The Biden administration is a sad joke and only lives to put money in their own pockets. If we look at the stages of an empire the United States is at the last stage: The Age of Decline & Collapse.

Check the compliance of the countries

Check the compliance of the countries Pakistan

As compared to the actual export of terrorism financing? Every country is at different places along a path of developing the compliance mechanisms to meet the FATF consensus goals. Pakistan is further along this path than many, but it remains on the list for good reasons, no doubt about that at all.

Please keep in mind that not all the recommendations have equal weight in importance and in difficulty of implementation. Hence, one cannot meet 20 easy ones and then claim 50% compliance, and so on. That map is just another manifestation of just how juvenile the policy makers think compared to their counterparts elsewhere. This will simply not work, except on the gullible.

For economy? Not true in my opinion. IMF wont care what COAS has to say, they will only look at terms technically and deal with Finance Ministry and hold them accountable for terms. For security and foreign policy aspects, yes you are right to an extent.

IMF advice is the same, based on economic principles, whether the COAS is overtly leading the government or covertly, as usual.
