Why can Pakistan not even match its neighbors with a similar history and location? Is it just because of corruption & dynastic politics or because of bad policies by both military and civilian regimes? Perhaps it's a combination of both factors. #FailingPakistan

Yes, it's like alcoholic drinking the best wines on credit & hoping disaster strikes so that someone comes along to clear his outstanding bills & debt. The world must help the flood-affected people but, take care not to incentivize the alcoholic #Pakistan

Well nobody gives us cash anymore because it all gets into the pockets of #CorruptPakLeaders. The world is very well aware of that.

Despite all the high-level talk about the “invisible hand of the market” creating a “level playing field,” nations like #Pakistan continue to have a role in putting regulations in place that allow privileged groups to capture economic privileges.

Pakistanis are stunned by current govt who is inducting a brigade of ministers, advisers and special assistants in cabinet with perks and privileges at a time when the rulers were roaming about the world with a begging bowl. #FailingPakistan

How can a country be pulled from the brink of an economic disaster when it lacks the motivation, integrity, and planning on the part of those who matter?

#Pakistan is among the top five countries spending on defense, and in the top 10 on verge of default. How ironic is that!

#Pakistan remains trapped in a cycle of low savings, minimal local investment, heavy borrowing, escalating international debt, low productivity, and high inflation. There is no scope for foreign investments when a country is barely making ends meet.

Today, Muslim-majority countries like #Pakistan bend their knees and bite their tongues as #China engages in unspeakable atrocities against the largely Muslim #Uyghur population of western China. #ChinesePuppetPakistan

It might be a lucrative business for some but, a widening gap in the income of people is certainly bringing unprecedented challenges for #Pakistan.

#Pakistan's policymakers have overemphasized the military dimension of security at the expense of the economy instead of pursuing a comprehensive appro­ach to national security. Talk about misplaced priorities. #VisionlessPakistan

The general pop. is growing frustrated with the irresponsible and imprudent attitude of elites who have taken them for granted and are not interested in sacrificing their perks, privileges, and benefits for saving the present and future of #Pakistan.

Let us worry less about Moody's, etc ratings, exchange rate, GDP growth rate, etc. These are statistics that can be n are manipulated.
Let us concentrate on fundamentals:
Reducing the Revenue-Expenditure gap
Reducing the Export-Import gap
The rest will be easier to take care of

...while others struggle to survive by curtailing dependence and canceling projects as debts incurred have to be paid back, come what may. #Pakistan is doing both.

#Pakistan doesn't lack money or intentions when it comes to funding any transnational terrorist activity But the government is facing a problem in managing the ongoing climate crisis. Ironic, isn’t it?

#CPEC is not merely a corridor that #Pakistan is hoping will transform its economy but rather a project that may wreck its finances and societal structure. #StopCPEC

[Allan Savory @savory_allan]

There has been no balancing act between the income and the expenditure of #Pakistan's state apparatus. The books have to be balanced for the economy to be stable.

#Pakistan's insatiable appetite for cheap loans has to be controlled. At the end of the day, borrowed money has to be returned with interest but where will the country get all that money from?

[Dr. Kaiser Bengali @kaiserbengali]

Management by gimmicry can bring down the dollar rate, but has not stabilized rhe economy one bit. Economy continues to be dangerously dependent on loans for survival. Only solution is to reduce non-dev exp, including non-combat defence exp, and non-essential imports.

#Pakistan is experiencing a crisis in the form of economic instability deeply rooted in its political instability, leading to a fragile context where management of such a huge climate emergency is another crisis of its nature.@sherryrehman
