Pakistan can invest in education and livelihoods
sure, why not??
most of the pakis do attend their famous kalashnikov university and livelihood is assured after that. Their careers usually include a spectacular bang as they make their mark, errr red blotchy stain on their society.

This is extremely naive, but this type of statement is at least useful for trolling Pakis on their forums as it infuriates them.

You should (at least after spending time on BR) know that there is no Kashmir Issue as such, rather it is just a manifestation of the real issue, i.e the Pakistan Issue.

They are not going to start doing what they have not done in 70 years with umpteen loans and grants from the US, UK, China, Arab, IMF, WB, ADB etc just because India gives them a soft loan. Plus if they are desperate enough to take a soft loan from India, we would probably just be able to take over those areas by force.
It's not worth comparing the two countries this way. The better comparison is:
Pakistan per-capita GDP: $1360
Bangladesh per capita GGP: $1900
Nepal per capita GDP: $960
Bangladesh is far ahead of Pakistan, and Nepal will soon overtake them, given differential GDP growth rates. This means Pakistan is a few years away from being the poorest country in Soothe a Shia, taking the title from Bangladesh and Nepal, who exchanged the title in the past.
In the 1960s, Pakistan had the 2nd highest GDP per capita in the subcontinent, after Sri Lanka. Today it has the second lowest. Given differential GDP growth rates, India will in about 5-6 years overtake Sri Lanka has the wealthiest country by per-capita income in the subcontinent.

This is beyond hilarious:
The panel discussed the various ills pakistani economy is facing and one of the main one was people not paying taxes.Check from 18:50 onwards
The tax paying/business representative from karachi Chamber says he along with a delegation (of RAPES) went to meet Im the Dim to complain about the various tax notices that all businessmen (Non tax paying) were getting. He openly said to Imran that if all the rich people get notices like this they will not only not pay the taxes but also withdraw money and keep it at home. On being asked by Imran on a solution to this he said that bring an amnesty scheme and unlike the earlier ones bring one out in consultation (meaning on favorable terms to the businessmen) with us. He gives the lollipop to Imran that once the money is declared legal they will inject massive amounts in the pakistani economy.
So in Shitistan not only the businessmen not pay the due taxes but will get to white wash the ill gotten wealth for a measly/nominal tax.
Truly

This petrol price hike really reveals the "entitled brat" mentality of pakis and how long they have been living beyond their means. The current price after this hike is USD is 0.7$/litre. This is in a country which imports most of its oil. The average price of petrol in the US, the biggest oil producer in the world, is 0.66$/liter. And the pakis are complaining as if the sky is falling.
Petrol prices have been astonishingly low in pakiland despite them not having any oil. Only way this is possible is by taxing it very little or subsidizing it. And then they wonder why they are bankrupt.

I have a feeling Pakis have been receing some sort of protection money from our elite in the past, that pipeline seems to have been cut in the last few years. Plus the Industries have been run by Faujis and businessmen have been illegally taxed to help Jihadi Tanzeems and Faujis to run thier operations especially in Kashmir etc, so Pakistan does not really have any extra room to tax

Looks like the nepotism and corruption created a rent seeker trade system that didn't add anything to state income. Since the elite class is all related to each other they helped each other to get rich while keeping state poor. State assets such as Pak steel mills and PIA were slowly degraded to benefit the private sector companies run by the elites.
It can only go so far.

Many thanks for your suggestion. However the Terroristanis will neither sell property to India nor allow the Chinese to sell their Chinese Properties acquired from the Terroristanis!
ISLAMABAD: The debt pile that Prime Minister Imran Khan would leave behind at the end of his five-year term will be equal to 84.1% of the size of Pakistan’s economy – far higher than the gross public debt at the end of the PML-N government, suggests a new report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

From what I see, the economy of pakis is modeled for rich people and not for middle class or poor. Import of cars, low tax on car, lack of land reforms, Baboon + Army establishment which does not answer to people, huge defense spending (which I do not really support) etc shows that. It is basically Delhi Sulthanite structure.
Unless you have a model which creats and sustains large middle class and take care of poor real long term economic future will not be there.
LAHORE: In a rare admission, the adviser to prime minister on commerce has acknowledged that depreciation of the rupee has pushed up the rate of inflation in the country.

Generally when the SBP says this the opposite is going to happen
LAHORE: When the PTI Punjab government is supposed to concentrate on the next budget, Secretary Finance Hamid Yakoob Sheikh has reportedly applied for extraordinary (long) leave for unexplained reasons.
The official sources say Mr Sheikh has applied for three-year extraordinary leave and his request is pending a decision with the authorities concerned.
Mr Sheikh is serving as the provincial finance secretary for the last around two-and-a-half years. He had earlier served in the department as its deputy secretary, additional secretary and special secretary for many years, also working in international monetary institutions and Department for International Development’s Sub-National Governance (SNG) programme.
He was posted as the finance secretary by the Shahbaz Sharif government but was retained by the present set-up due to his expertise in public finance as well as the professional conduct.
One of his major tasks had been to attend to troubles arising out of the financial crisis being faced the present government.
He had to face courts on several occasions due to pending liabilities, the officials said who added that one such liability was the non-payment of bills to contractors whom the departments concerned had issued cheques which were not honoured. The officials said it was Mr Sheikh who had to face its consequences.
A senior official of the Punjab government, when asked about the possible reason, said: “Many want side posting, some intend to proceed on leave, provided they are able to get good opportunities elsewhere”.
The current financial crisis was caused, the officials claimed, due to a marked reduction in the collection of provincial taxes and the provincial share. Punjab faced a shortfall of Rs150bn during the current fiscal year, involving the finance secretary to indulge in firefighting.
The officials said that two special secretaries of the finance department had the potential to make the next budget if Mr Sheikh is allowed leave. He could also be replaced but changing the commander in the middle of a war ‘looks a difficult option’.
In Addition the Actual Size of the Terroristani Economy as per the State Bank of Terroristan is as follows :
Minister for Revenue Hammad Azhar on Thursday reiterated that the next year and a half will prove to be a difficult period for the country's economy.
Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, the revenue minister said: "We — the prime minister, Asad Umar sahab, and myself — have all been saying this. This is because the extent of the damage to the economy was such that time will be required in its recovery."

ISLAMABAD: US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin did not meet with the Pakistani delegation on the sidelines of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), [color]indicating a lack of warmth in ties between the once close allies.
KARACHI: Pakistan’s economic growth will not slow down to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) anticipated level 2.9%, but in fact it is likely to be well above 3.5% during the current fiscal year 2019, PM Economic Advisory Council member told The Express Tribune.
“This is a political statement of IMF,” PM Economic Advisory Council’s member Dr Ashfaque Hasan Khan said. “The economy will grow between 3.5-4% during the current fiscal year 2019.”
ISLAMABAD: Over 10 companies have stopped supplying their food products to the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) as it owes them over Rs8 billion.
The USC has asked the government to pay 10% to 15% of this amount to the companies and also sought a 75% advance from the Rs2 billion Ramazan package.
Sources said with the companies cutting off their supplies, there is a shortage of food items in Utility Stores across the country.
The USC is incurring losses worth Rs12 billion every year and because of the ongoing financial crisis, it is also finding it difficult to pay the salaries of its employees.
There are dues worth Rs25 billion that the government has to pay to the USC under its subsidy.
The USC wants the government to make partial payments of 10% to 15% to the companies to ensure the supply of food items to its stores during Ramazan.

fed up with the high prices of 'proper' meat , paks have started hunting and eating flamingoes now
they are perhaps the only country that allows hunting the national animal(markhor) for fat fees. one fellow paid $91000 for a trophy.
whats next left to eat after the 'easy meat' like flamingos learn to overfly pak on their way to safer shores in india?
I can only think of donkeys, peacocks and houbaras. but cheen loves donkey meat so mostly will be exported(its exported even from africa).
at one time Pak surely had lions, tigers, cheeta, leopard, elephant, large deer but the attitude of the people led to big deforestation and ongoing desertification and now the large wildlife like leopard, snow leopard, siberian ibex and markhor only survives in northern areas of pak north of punjab.
