What Khan Can Do Immediately

[ziaulislam]

You're Right, Did You Know That Just To Bring His Money Into The Country A Foreign Investor Has To Obtain 32 Different NOCs From Federal To Provincial Level

Forget about the money getting visa is impossible while other countries provide visa on arrival getting Pakistani visa IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN FOR PAKISTANI to get USA Visa

Forget about tourism all together..you actually need an invitation letter..i mean what the ****

Pakistani is stuck in 1950s and require 7 decades of reforms in every sector

 

[Samlee]

Lots of good ideas floating around... One thing I would recommend is completely digitizing and automating the process of buying crops from farmers, at the moment the middle man fleeces the poor illiterate farmers and gives them whatever rate he desires. If farmers are self-sufficient and khushhaal that will go a long way in reducing poverty.


Also we need to spread a massive network of cold storage and significantly reduce farm-to-market time. Pakistan due to Allah's blessings produces more food then majority of the rest of the world's countries but we waste so much of it.

Samlee bhai I just did a little googling and apparently we may not need an out of court settlement.Reko diq has many interested parties they are willing to offer very lucrative terms of business.Not only that they have gone to the extent of offering to pay TCC Compensation on our behalf.

Also Pakistan should sign the Energy Charter Treaty and Information Technology Agreement of WTO.Also we should try to get Data Secure Status from EU.That will bring tons of offshoring work.Similarly conventions of IMO should be signed which will help promote shipping in our country

Bro Khalid Energy Charter Treaty Is Definitely A Guarantee For Multi Billion Dollar Investments But It Is Extremely Dangerous As Well.If A Reko Diq Like Situation Re Emerges We Could Be Skinned By The Foreign Investors.

ITA Is A Great Idea But FBR and Customs Will Have To Be Brought On Board






Another Thing That Khan Can Do And This Is Going To Be Great.I Have Actually Made A Plan On It

1.Buy Electricity,Crude Oil and Natural Gas From Iran And Make Payment In Rupees Or Use ACU(Asian Clearing Union)

2.Due To US Sanctions,International Shipping Companies Are Refusing To Dock At Iranian Ports.Iran Can Use Gwadar.Simple The Ships Bound For Iran Can Dock On Gwadar And Iranian Trucks Can Load Their Merchandise And Take It To Their Country.Gwadar To Iran Is Hardly An Hours Drive.
The Rupees Earned By Iran From Number 1 Can Be Used To Pay Rent For Use Of Port

3.Similarly Iran Needs Heavy Import Of Food Items Which Pakistan Can Happily Provide.Rupees Can Also Be Used For This Purpose.

4.Using Electricity From Iran and Closing All Power Plants Will Save Billions In Oil Imports.

5.Pakistan Also Imports $2 to 3 Billion Of Petrochemicals.This Should Be Imported From Iran Utilizing Currency Swap Facility

6.Last Year The Government Tried To Close All Oil fired Power Plants.A Severe Supply Chain and Inventory Problem Took Place Since Refineries Had Nowhere To Offload There Oil Now.Here Is Where It Gets Interesting:

Furnace Oil Is Not Only Used In Power Plants It Is Used To Fuel Container Ships.Both Karachi and Gwadar Have Transshipment Facilities.We Should Get The Chinese To Transfer A Portion Of Their Shipping On The East-west Route From Dubai To These Ports And As An Incentive We Get Them To Pay In Yuan.This Yuan Will Then Be Used To Pay For Chinese Imports.

Putting These Proposals Into Practice Will Result In Massive Forex Saving And The Results Will Show Within One Year

Its for their own safety and restrictions like NOC are necessary. Imagine tourist ending up in Balochistan, FATA or some areas of KP. It will be disaster for Pakistan image of what ever is left.

 

[Sugarcane]

IK must issue suspension order of PTI's Karachi MPA who slapped a citizen on road just a day after taking oath

NOC should exist if they want to travel to endager areas..not cities

Second forget about tourism than ...focus on your security first

NOC is only necessary to tell them not go anywhere near certain areas. Areas like Balochistan, FATA and some parts of KP are no go areas for tourists no matter what. Its not like many foreign tourists visit to begin with, if Pakistan restrict them all together then it will be even worst for our image.

As long as Afghanistan problem exist security will not improve, I hope PTI priority number 1 is security.

Last i check..no u need NOC to even arrive in Pakistan ..only way to thus visit Pakistan is through a reputed touring agency (which probably gets it because of lots of bribing)

Now unless things have changed in last 6 months this is true

Even visa application is very
Very lengthy difficult and complicated

Afghanistan problem is not going anyway and neither r v sending afghan refugees home despite the fact that Afghanistan per western sources is now safe...Germans are deporting afghans but we arent

Yes NOC is required. But even with NOC you can't visit areas I mentioned before. Allowing these backpackers easy access to Pakistan will lead to disaster.

 

[ziaulislam]

Lot of people want to visit but simply cant...
Pakistan needs to open it self to health sector, education and tourism to foreigners

Its fine but than forget about tourism..
Diasaster or not is different story...

Tourism earns india more than our total exports and remittances put together

We need to mske our police rwponsble educated
Seal and send back homes all illegal immigrants from 20+ countries..pressure to end drug trade and ban all extremist groups..i dont see this happening

Security should be PTI number 1 priority to increase tourism and investment. Otherwise expect dollar to go up further.

Yes Energy Charter Treaty maybe dangerous from the point of view you have given,but the fact is that provision of international arbitration gives investors a level of confidence to invest in our economy.Let's face it nobody trusts our judicial system.We have to give foreign investors a level of comfort to invest their funds.

Ultimately the question is why sign an agreement in the first place that would be vulnerable to litigation?????

ITA is a must if we are to become a knowledge economy.FBR and Customs can be bought in line

Whilst you guys are thinking what IK can do some of you are contemplating this:-

True The Biggest Reason US Pakistan Bilateral Investment Treaty Could Not Go Through Was That USA Was Asking For International Arbitration

 

[Hamza913]

Now That Khan Is Well On His Way To Become PM.There Are Several Things He Can Do To
Stimulate The Economy Immediately

1.The Auction For DTH License Has Been Completed And The Stay Order Has Been Vacated By Supreme Court.Khan Should Immediately Award Those Licenses And Start DTH Rollout.This Is Somwhere About $150 Million Investment

2.Out Of Court Settlement With TCC.Reconciling With TCC Means Largest FDI In The History of Pakistan In Reko Diq And Keep Getting Guided By Foolish Pride Would Mean A Potential Lawsuit Of $11 Billion.This Is The Last Thing We Can Afford.

3.CNPC and Multiple Other Chinese Investors Have Offered Investment To The Tune of Billions of Dollars In Refineries and Petrochemical Complexes.CNPC Is Completely Ready All It Needs Is Sufficient Land On The Coast Of Sindh or Balochistan.Khan Should Arrange For This Land Immediately.

4.Japanese and Korean Investors Want To Invest In Gwadar.This Is B'Coz They Need Access To Oil,Gas and Rare Earths From Central Asia.They Are Very Much Willing To Offer Investments Worth Billions In Gwadar And Also Because Of New US Sanctions On Iran Their Attention Has Gone From Chabahar To Gwadar Also If We Play Our Cards Right US Companies Will Definitely Desire To Invest Here.Khan Should Open Up CPEC To Other Countries As Well

5.As Part of It's Latent Hatred Against Pashtuns In General and PTI In Particular N-League Did Not Issue NOCs Thereby Jeopardizing $100 Million Investment in Oil and Gas Exploration By Hycarbex.Khan Should Immediately Grant NOC To Hycarbex And Other Oil and Gas Companies Denied NOCs.

6.Khan Should Also Start Issuing Licenses For Mineral Exploration In Las Bela 40 Other Locations In Chagai Waziristan Mohmand Bajaur Malakand and Kohistan As Well As Jhang and Faisalabad And Kasur.These Are High Potential Areas In Copper Gold and Rare Earths

7.Also Owing To Bureaucratic Delays Many Projects Chinese Wish To Invest In Have Gotten Delayed.Khan Should Fast Track Them

8.CNG Sector Has Negotiated Import of LNG At Lower Rates But N League Did Not Give The Clearance.Khan Should Do This Immediately Since It Will Lead To Oil Savings.

9.Geographical Indication and National Energy Conservation Bills Should Also Be Passed Immediately.They Are Already Prepared.

10.Audi Was Not Given Greenfield License Under Auto Policy and This Deprived Pakistan From Billions $ Investment and Thousands Of Jobs.Khan Should Give Them This License Immediately
