A review of #Pakistan’s economic data for this century triggers utter gloom. On almost all key indicators, the country has either regressed or stagnated. The scope for FDIs is rightfully limited. #FailingPakistan

It's one thing for the "developed" West to contribute a larger share in global resources & efforts to arrest climate change but, totally unethical & even illegal for one country to seek reparations from another when both have pursued a same polluting model of dev.

Climate change is a recent discovery and an unintended outcome of a developmental model pursued globally for two centuries and which, #Pakistan itself follows till today with no intent to change. How then can it ask for climate reparations?

The country is already under internal and external debts of over $200 billion which might hit a mark of $400 billion in the next two decades. Is this really the time to engage in petty politics?

It is time that the Pak ruling elite gave up this habit of resolving people’s problems through advertisements and propaganda.

#ImranKhan has no qualms about branding any person or even institution, he wishes as a corrupt, traitor, and even infidel because he is a world-class liar who would do anything to propagate his political vendetta. #ShameOnImrankhan

#Pakistan walked into #China’s #debttrap and has been facing its worst nightmare till now. It has become a cautionary tale of misgovernance and misfortune for other countries. #StopCPEC

Thanks to its #RulersNotLeaders, #Pakistan is becoming poorer and poorer every day!

#Pakistan’s economy is in dire straits, for a country of 222 mn people with a conglomeration of internal and external threats along with the devastation caused by the floods, cannot have smooth sailing no matter who the finance minister is.

Regarding asset building, #Pakistan has outsourced all its developmental projects to Chinese and other foreign partners. This outsourcing leaves Pakistan with no ecosystem of economic regeneration.

Pak economy is in flux because 58% of the recent 2022 unveiled Pak budget has gone to the defense which is a liability rather than an asset as it puts no money in the pockets of the ordinary people.

The politico elite of the country has constantly made fun of the poor people and instead of containing their luxuries, have burdened the citizens for their pleasure. #PakistanFloods

The main focus of the ruling elite in #Pakistan has always been to consolidate their own power and embark on their self-serving agenda ignoring the rest of the populace. #FailingPakistan

[Jessica Smith @Jess25sam]

Signs of good days of #China ending, soon & abruptly. Strategists & self-acclaimed think tanks of #Pakistan who, thus far have been cheerleaders of #CPEC & #ironbrother as a strategic partner, need to open their eyes & look beyond their noses.
@BoycottHegemony

[Jessica Smith @Jess25sam]

The economic cost of climate change for #Pakistan is higher than in many other countries. Being an agriculture-dependent country significantly increases #Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate change. #FloodsInPakistan

The regression across #Pakistan’s economic frontier has witnessed an ever-yawning gap between the rich and the poor, with no evidence in sight of a long overdue turnaround. #FailingPakistan

#Pakistan's coffers were already in dire shape, with a cost-of-living crisis, a nose-diving rupee, and dwindling foreign exchange reserves. With IMF taking a step back the situation is just going to get worse. #FailingPakistan

#Balochistan is a land of neglect and exploitation because of #CorruptPakLeaders who have made it a point to exploit the province whenever they can.

...The leadership's behaviour, exploitation of the environment, disregard for equality, and the right to basic healthcare are impacting not only economic growth but also the country's credibility.
