I have not heard a single policy by any political party on strengthening private sector businesses/companies within Pakistan. Ultimately it is the private sector which is going to create Jobs and growth.

We need companies to think long term as well, and get them to reinvest their profits. Rather than paying out shareholders large dividends for their short term gains.

But this law and order is not helping many businesses. Businesses are winding up to invest in other countries.

Govt = Politics. Politics = Bureaucratic

NO Govt can run a business, no matter how good or well run it is. Reason.. Govt = Politics. Politics = Bureaucratic

If govt tries to 'help' the private sector, you will see crony capitalism. Ye 'help' ye to hai na jo Govt agriculture aur export sector ko de rahi hai..! You will notice all the friends of Ruling party running large businesses.

The social/political/educational/religious culture of Pakistan has gone so rotten that i feel the ONLY way there can be any light in the future is parents start putting principles into this kids. Most of the times, our own parents have been teaching and feeding us JUNK... Junk worse than what was fed to them.

I think every Pakistan should read Road to Serfdom by F A Hayek. Read this which shares similar principles.

What are you thoughts on support for Private sector companies within Pakistan in terms of support from the Government? The policies I have heard so far including from PTI are more on collecting taxes but not on how we could help SME's? Or help the private sector?
