Which part of IMF's requirement for market-driven forex rates does IK not understand?
He had warned current dealers of strict actions if they were found selling dollar above Rs144.
Artificial pegs have never worked unless the government is able to somehow purchase dollars (taking loans, bartering for gold, money or whatever else) to fulfill the demand. That was what the previous govt was doing as it pegged the PKR to a stable 100-110 range while piling on loans.

Lacking more dollar supply, inflexible peg and this kind of knee jerk reaction, a huge black market will flourish. This is the worst, because exporters will get legal PKR from their export earnings at 141/$, but real prices of input goods will be determined by the black market rate, whatever it is, say 165/$. Hawala business will be back with a bang, D company can run it again from their ISI protected residences.

There is a good chance that most of them are Pakis. One of the Paki people who went on Haj made a youtube video about how Pakis were begging in Mecca and Medina and were the main consumers for the free charity food that was provided by Saudis.

It's the old Paki behavior of trying to be too clever by half. According to Najam Sethi, they have committed to the IMF that they will get more money from the provinces, though that would be against the constitution, and they are managing it by threatening politicians from the provincial governments using NAB cases and ISI goons to keep them from protesting.

They're all Saudis speaking in crisp Khaleeji accents. As far as the charity food goes, too much of a generalisation.

3:1 or 4:1 will happen sooner than you think. Pak is heading to a Venezuela or Zim like situation unless Trump loses or US starts bailing them out again. They are dependent on the world for everything (Venezuela otoh is a major oil producer), even on the inputs for their exports which basically means their exports are as competitive as the labour differential, which these days isn't a major factor - not counting the other input costs which could be higher like power, transportation and insurance.

Their defence budget is unsustainable; unless they mend their ways there is really no way out. You know it, I know it, all of BRF and a lot of India that cares knows it. But they are in denial; even some of the more astute news anchors feel that touching the defence budget is crossing the red line. In their thinking, the pakfauj defines the state (much like what the good Haqqani said).

But Pakis won't flock to India because they believe that Hindus and Muslims cannot live together. This belief, right or wrong, should be reinforced.

don't fool yourselves.

over the years, there are many tens of hundreds of thousands who came over with/without visas and simply disappeared in India.

there are many hundreds of pakis who do it even today.

now they enter India via the gelf, beediland, nepal, SL and male just to name a few routes and settle in the heartland and not just in cashmere.

these rats will go wherever they feel safe, even in a hated enemy/kafir country like India.

I think we can handle the exodus - we did that in 1971. Also, the Bakis are wannabe Arabs, no ? I'm sure they can be encouraged to find places to go to, other than the SDRE India.
Because I don't want that to be a distraction against Step 1.

Due to the falling PKR, they are pretty much screwed wrt dollar-denominated debt and imports. But they'll now be able to export at cheaper price, and that is where we need to hit next. We need to target their main exports (which I guess is rice, wheat, sugar and textiles ?) and their export markets (EU, US and Gulf). Don't know about the WTO rules, but can we offer those markets cheaper goods compared to Bakis by doing some sort of GOI subsidy ?

There is an old joke on this same thing....

One Indian and Paki were going somewhere where they came across one "Aladin ka Chiraag" and they rub it together. The DJinn appears and grants both of them one single wish each.

Paki went first, He said that I want an impenetrable wall around my beautiful country. It should be strong and nothing should pass through it.
Djinn says Poof and voila, a tougher than Faulaad wall appears all across Bakiland.

Indian's turn. Djinn asks, What do you want? He says, Just fill the paki side of this wall with water of my height. :D :D :D

PM forms body to control rupee devaluation - Shahid Iqbal | Syed Irfan Raza

Image
ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: A day when the value of the US dollar against the rupee touched an all-time high, Prime Minister Imran Khan set up a committee to control devaluation of the local currency and capital flight from Pakistan.
The committee headed by Adviser to the PM on Finance Dr Hafeez Shaikh was formed on Wednesday during a meeting in which members of the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (ECAP) apprised the prime minister about various factors involved in capital flight and devaluation of the rupee against the dollar. The governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is a member of the committee.
The committee has been tasked to ascertain whether the provision of carrying $10,000 by anyone who travels abroad from Pakistan can be slashed down to $3,000 as proposed by the ECAP.

Population exodus doesn't happen because currency collapse or economy meltdown. There are many contemporary examples of sovereign bankruptcy and yet no population exodus. Yes, few migrate but no mass movement of great scale.

Historically large scale population migration happen due to
1. Civil war, genocide against one community
2. Famine
3. Epidemic
4. Natural disasters such as draught, flood, earthquakes, volcanic activities etc.
