Pakistan Economy in the last 4.5 years

[taimoorkhan]

Last night I was watching the Kamran Khan program where our minister Mr Karia was bragging about several issues where the view of Government was much needed like the Asghar Khan case, economic situation and others. One thing that caught my attention was that when Kamran asked him about the economic situation and the size of the government loans which has doubled in the past 4 years. And Mr Kaira bragged about this "There is a law that the Government cannot take more than 50 to 60 percent of the total GDP and that the loans have increased (doubled) because the GDP of the state has also doubled and that the economic position of Pakistan has also strengthened than the past. Despite the two major floods which had hit the rural economy and the agriculture we have managed to get record production of Wheat, Pulses, Sugar and we are exporting these and several other items." This and several other things that he was bragging about. I am not an economist but I know a simple rule of life that if your earnings are increasing then there is no particular need to increase your expenses and you can save the money for a better cause. I don't know which Pakistan was Mr Kaira is talking about that the economy has strengthened, a common Pakistani who was earning 15K in 2008 is now earning almost the same but his expenditure has doubled. If wheat, pulses and sugar had been produced in records then why are their prices still the same? If the GDP of Pakistan has doubled then how does this justify the doubled loans of the State and where has all this money gone to. Education, health and economy of 180 million Pakistanis are still the same. 45% of Pakistanis don't get sufficient nutrition and food. I don't know how these people get the guts to lie in our faces and get away with it.

سیاسی چھینا جھپٹی میں جو بلاتکار پاکستان کی اقتصادیات کے ساتھ کیا جا رہا ہے ، وہ بہت خوفناک ہے


لیکن کسی کی بھی توجہ اس طرف نہیں ، ملکی معیشت اس وقت بہت سنگین مقام پر ہے ​

Don't forget the oil price which has broken the back bone of most stable economies in last 5-6 years
