In my professional opinion following measures would result some positive results for economic uplift of Pakistan

1. Control over selling of FCY at money changers. General public specially elite not allowed to sell FCY. People should be allowed to sell their FCY at airport and credited to nominated accounts in airport. General public actually need to buy FCY for personal use like traveling, Hajj, Umrah, Medical expense etc
2. Time line for the construction of residential plots across Pakistan. Most of our investment is buried in shape of "plots". This is not a practice anywhere in the world except degraded economies. After the timeline government acquire the plots.
Time line could be like
For 40 Sq. yards Plot: 01 year
For 80 Sq. yards Plot: 02 year
For 120 Sq. yards Plot: 01 year
For 240 Sq. yards Plot: 1.5 year
For 400 Sq. yards Plot: 02 year
For 600 + Sq. yards Plot: 02 year
3. Progressive restriction over export of raw materials fro Pakistan. This will push value addition i Pakistan and industrialization
4. Removal of al financial crutches from APTMA, specially ginning and weaving sectors
5. Enforcement of stingent and market oriented deletion policy over all import segments with minimal annual turnover. Specially automobile, Mobile Phone and Chemical sector. We should market and utilize our "buying class"

I would request some one to translate it in Urdu and type in Urdu for rest of the member.

I dont think there is a single country in the world which bans money changers....and if it does ...then you drive the money changers underground. The only country I know which bans money changers is Syria....and there people are doing it secretly....and driving the blackmarket value of dollars even higher.....depriving the government of millions in taxes. SO do not try to do another experiment in Pakistan....we already did this experiement with these jokers in PTI. There should be control on the amount of outward remittances to for example 20,000$. Secondly anyone who sends remittance over 3000 dollars must show proof of the source of funds ( this is done in normal countries). Anyone without proof should be considered blackc money and the person blocked from sending money.

You need a leader like Erdogan ......not a chooha like Imran Khan to rally the population.....we ar emade to suffer becacuse of these jokers...but I dont see the Army/ISI is going to bear them longer than 3 months. The effects of this last devaluation will be felt in about 3 months.....right now it has not been felt by the populaiton yet....expect petrol price to be 130 per liter from the current 108 and then see peoples reaction. Millions of people in the country are on fixed income(Pension income/ Rental income/ Savings certificates / Fixed salaries)....you have killed the middle class and expect to collect 5000 billion in revenues? This basterd PM was saying mein aapko 8000 arab tax akatha kar k dikhaonga........basterd

Its not banning, its restricting. First cool down then start writing. Read my suggestions carefully first. Also if possible share your academic qualification so I can handle your point with same pitch.

First step is to teach people to live a simple life.

1: People should learn how to save energy (electricity, gas and petrol).
2: spending too much on imported stuff such as mobiles, electronics and cars. We must learn to live within our means as a nation and not as an individual.
3: Promote local industry at a national level, local tourism, local education, made in Pakistan stuff. Our celebrities should focus on promoting local brands and stop spending money on foreign trips and shopping. We as a nation need to do this for at least a decade.
4: Pakistan tops the list of people doing Hajj and Umrah (and other religious tourism) each year, taking a good chunk of foreign reserves.

Second step is to invest in people:
1: Train people in services sector so that they can earn money online. it can take time but if steps are taken now, we can have positive inflows within 2-3 years and some sustainable inflows after 5 years (assuming we have 3 years vocational training on computer programming, e-Commerce, languages, and other services which can be sold online)

2: domestic growth is more important than foreign funded big projects. Farming and poultry are small examples. We need to train people on how to start small business within our means. we can also focus on stuff we import and see if those things can be grown/produced locally (palm oil, coconut oil, lentils, cheese and other dairy stuff).

3: People should start owning the country by paying taxes and becoming valuable citizens instead of asking for subsidies/freebies all the time.

Third step is for Govt to reconsider some of its priorities
1: Last 2 governments spent a lot on power generation by oil, gas and coal. We need to reconsider if it is viable for us considering our current account deficit. May be its time to halt some of them and reduce import bill for couple of years until they are under control.

2: Renegotiate all of its foreign debt if possible and see if they can get some concessions including loans from China.

3: Give incentives to overseas Pakistanis to invest in country. A fund can be formed which will invest in local businesses. if locals have good business ideas and can make it success, overseas pakistanis will invest in such opportunities. 5 Million home project can also have some dedicated quota for foreign buyers, so that they can invest in property sector. (if 1 out of 8 millions overseas Pakistanis can bring back $100,000 to Pakistan either to invest in property or to some other business, or just in fixed term deposits, it will be $100 billion, 1 lakh can bring $10 billion easily).

4: govt can launch a platform to promote collaboration between locals and overseas pakistanis on small level, such as local tour company can collaborate with overseas pakistanis to bring in tourists, small traders can import directly from pakistani exporters etc.
