Razzak Dawood said it is due to cars, soya been, raw materail, cars and housing items. He said in Dec he says import of goods will be above 8.5 billion dollar and they cannot reduce it because this was all pre booked.
Total car import in whole of last year was $250million. Even if 10 times more cars were imported this year compared to last total import bill will increase by $2.5billion.
Every day patwaris and TV channels are telling us people are dying of hunger and yet country is importing 8 billion per month?? When prices are high, people buy less stuff so imports should decrease. But in Pakistan people are buying more when prices are high??
Is it possible that the additional $1-2 billion imports are actual being made for Afghanistan through Pakistan because NO country officially recognized Afghan taliban govt!
