@WeatherWupk What’s the update on the movement of the monsoon rain into Pakistan?

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

Welcoming the onset of the Monsoon in Kerela, hopefully things will keep progressing on time. do we have any authentic organisations that monitor the effects on kharif crops in Pak/monsoon watch

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

@jnmet How do you expect the monsoon to be this year?

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.

Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.

Toca hablar claro:

- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.

- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.

- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.

- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

Every petrol hike quietly steals something from the common man, less food, less travel, less hope. Rent gets harder to pay, the kitchen gets quieter, children’s education suffers and life just keeps getting heavier.

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

Sick of having all the burden of govt bad decisions and FBR inability to increase tax net being passed onto avg citizens. officials shd start paying for their own petrol and say no to protocol. impact of this will creep into all our daily lives and work. How is this sustainable?

[Amer Sharif @AmerSharifOFCL]

No doubt, international prices have gone through the roof, and we need to align ourselves accordingly. However, using petrol prices to bridge the FBR revenue shortfall caused by poor performance is unacceptable. Charging the common man Rs. 161 per liter as a levy and around 24 per litre in custom duty making 185 per liter in taxes/duties is nothing but the height of incompetence. The FBR has failed to broaden the tax base, and the cost of this failure is being borne by everyone—regardless of whether a person pays zero direct tax, Rs. 1 lac per month, or even more.

Why should the common man suffer due to the incompetence of a department that has consistently been rewarded with perks, vehicles, increments, and bonuses? Why can it not be shut down?

@MusadaqZ This is true for most angri exports, India continues to be extremely competitive. Every year their utility and other manufacturing costs come down while we are fighting to just survive. So much of the potential agri export business has been lost

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

Need to get in touch with @KElectricPk for industrial power shutdowns - there is no coordination between their teams who treat you like a football and take no responsibility and just blame one another. Who would be the right person to contact

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

@allindiaweather Yes

@pakcommodities1 Do you have the trend for the last 1-2 months

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

@ahfazmustaf This makes me so angry. We literally never will learn and then cry about the exact same consequences every 5 years

[Ahfaz Mustafa @ahfazmustaf]

Imports - near all time high.
Personal financing - all time high.

I dont understand what else is consumption led growth ?
We are walking down the exact same path. Managed FX , subsidising imports and fueling domestic consumption.
The exact same path will have the exact same result.

[Musadaq Zulqarnain @MusadaqZ]

The root cause is our persistent fiscal deficit. Beyond cutting govt expenditure and privatising loss-making SOEs, the real fix lies in broadening the tax base — taxing the untaxed and evaders — while reducing the heavy burden on compliant salaried individuals and corporates. Additionally, targeted support like BISP and energy subsidies for low-income households should be shifted to the provinces — and let the provinces compete in taking care of their own citizens

[Ahfaz Mustafa @ahfazmustaf]

Pakistans current taxation policy is the equivalent of nationalisation in the 70s in terms of slowing down industrialisation and businesses in general.
It has become more profitable to put up factories abroad and sell to Pakistan. This needs to be fixed, or we'll end up as an African country with a few 1000 rich groups and 280 million people below the poverty line.

This will be realised sooner or later by those in charge, hoping it's sooner rather than later.

#LUCK playing games 🤦‍♀️

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

@ahfazmustaf Absolutely! Am paying higher tax rates than my sister in Canada and question why I’m still here everyday. No free schooling, health, not even proper roads or 24 hr electricity gas or water! Jokes on me.

[Sherbano @sherbanodossa]

Are we really becoming the chosen ones? It’s too good to be true 🇵🇰 #nazarnalagao
