@sadist_2003 More significant question is what will Pakistan do when Iran/Houthi/Israel bombs Saudi.
Saudi is the bank in the relationship. They can't do anything beyond spending/donating/lending money
@Deshpacito661 So as a percentage of budget, capex and even military spending are down. So, what accounts for the majority of federal budget? Is it interest payments ?
@mahajanrohan99 Indian chess Olympiad selections have generally been very transparent with the ratings being the only criteria.
So, most likely it's her personal choice
@LukeCloud17 Although plausible, it is still a hypothetical scenario which never happened. While INR has depreciated against USD nearly every significant time period even if it's 3% yoy. So, if you want to consider nominal GDP growth and nominal GDP targets in USD, you need to account for it.
@LukeCloud17 Is that nominal rate in INR or USD? I believe it is INR and INR depreciated nearly same amount leading to nominal growth in USD terms around 2 percent (didn't calculate but very low)
@JackRangaswami@JacobAShell PPP is only a good metric while we look per capita. Nominal GDP is more important for global influence. We could be no. 3 there soon as well but not yet
@JayantM66@RxGenimi@cvkrishnan UK FTA was pretty good. But more significant strategic deals are pretty far especially related to defense. Australia is slightly more aligned on the China threat but still there are limits to defense corporation. Maybe some energy and mineral deals
