What a country !! Took a loan from the IMF, then stopped a potential World War, also attacked Afghanistan, talked ceasefire with China, then became a Global Peacemaker, also stood with Iran, then condemned attack on KSA, then negotiated with Trump while the nation watched PSL.

Every Pakistani now owes Rs333,000 debt!

The debt burden of every Pakistani increased by 13% to Rs333,000 in the last fiscal year, while public debt remained a "challenge" due to a budget deficit that exceeded the statutory limit by Rs3 trillion, according to a Fiscal Policy Statement to be presented to Parliament. https://t.co/e3rPJZyePa

If you read just one column to understand Pakistan’s economy and governance priorities, you cannot do better than read this insightful piece by Dr Faisal Bari.

“For the older men and women in power, it's over. The young generation isn't buying any of what you're trying to sell to them. Times are changing and the sooner you realise the better. But you don't care either. You will when you realise no one's listening to you.”

[Hasnaat Malik @HasnaatMalik]

Criticism of the state is not a crime, and disagreement is not disloyalty. The state must stop using harsh, poorly defined laws to silence voices it finds inconvenient. Promising reform while enforcing Peca deepens mistrust.

Dr Akbar Zaidi ⁦writes “⁩in 1990, the per capita income of Pakistan was twice that of Bangladesh and 56pc higher than that of India. In 2024, Bangladesh’s per capita income is 53pc higher, and that of India is 71pc higher than that of Pakistan.” https://t.co/Ka2jlFY4XV

"Just a few years ago, Imran Khan was projected by the establishment as an alternative to a ‘corrupt political leadership’. The former prime minister also attempted to cast doubt on the patriotic credentials of his political opponents. With a turn in fortunes, he himself is now branded as a ‘security threat’ by the same elements who helped him rise to power."

The Ducky case isn't really about Ducky. It's about what happens when the people enforcing the law are running bigger scams than the people they arrest. Until our institutions decide that the law applies to them too, we will keep ending up in these absurd situations where everyone is in the wrong and nobody comes out clean.

"The Labour Force Survey (LFS) for 2024-25 shows a hike in the unemployment rate in the last five years in Pakistan, going up from 6.3% in 2020-21 to 7.1% in 2024-25."

1/25 Pakistan has just been subjected to one of the most forensic examinations of its state ever commissioned not by activists or opposition politicians, but by the IMF itself. Over 186 pages, the Fund’s governance and corruption diagnostic concludes that corruption here is not an irritant at the margins. It is a macro‑economic disease that shapes who gets rich, who stays poor, and why 240 million people are trapped in cycles of crisis, inflation and mistrust.

[Shahbaz Rana @81ShahbazRana]

IMF corruption Bombshell report officially out!

Corruption recoveries totaling Rs5.3 trillion in just two years represent only a fraction of the true cost to Pakistan's economy, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday in a scorching assessment that found corruption "persistent and corrosive" at every level of government.

As long as constitutional amendments are passed in a manner that is procedurally sound, courts do not have the power to strike them down even if they consider them to be contrary to what they consider “salient features” of the Constitution

My Take on the 26th, 27th — and the Amendments Yet to Come

Pakistan is moving toward a political system that is neither Western democracy nor Chinese autocracy.

Like the country itself, our democracy is being custom-made — handcrafted, layered, and wrapped in strategic ambiguity.

We are shaping a unique political order that appears democratic, but operates on rules designed to preserve the system — maintaining the rituals of elections and constitution, while quietly rewiring how power and accountability truly function to preserve this process and system.

Pakistan has always been a mystery to the world — perhaps now its democracy will be too.

In the end, legitimacy will not come from labels or institutional architecture, but from whether this system delivers better outcomes for the people it claims to serve.

Yet at present, more energy seems invested in designing this “unique model” than in improving governance and public welfare that actually matters.

And even after the 27th Amendment, this will still remain an unfinished agenda.

[Khurram Husain @KhurramHusain]

The lawyers movement gave us judicial overreach. Hybrid govts have given us military overreach. Democracy is the victim in both cases.

Best take on the 27th amendment today is by @abbasnasir59.
