@Bilal Khan.........Yes you are right, but,he is the one who advised to freeze foreign exchange accounts........what a disaster????
@ Salim Jahangir - Sartaj Aziz is a world renowned economist and belongs to the PML-N. Hence it would be wrong to say that the PML-N has no economist amongst its ranks!
@Ahmed: There is no CNG, Sui Gas shortage in KPK. And there is far less load shedding in KPK then Punjab. I live in Punjab and i m worried.
@Farhan Khan........there are many,but,none in PML "N",hence 'DAR'. Pity!!!
He is a chartered Accountant.. Seriously man !! An Account as a Finance Minister? Is there no Economist in Pakistan?
What a disaster would it be once again...........same old wine in a same old bottle.His first statement would be "Pakistan is at the verge of bankruptcy".And then the fun will start.
NS needs to be thoughtful and careful. If he's going to have a wasted bookkeeper as a Fin Minister, he needs to have a very high powered Council of Economic Advisers like the US President does.. And he should rise above his petty amoral familism and get people like Shahid Kardar, Naved Hamid and maybe even Nadeem ul Haque, some of whom can tell the PM and FM etc that theyre out of line when the need arises.
Ishaq dar willbe a disaster. He proved his inability to sustain a growing econmy in 2008 and squandered 8 years wor of progress.
Suggestion> Liberlise, PRIVATISE Deregulation.. LPD
Its time to auction PIA, Railway, N. Shipping Corp., Steel mill, all the banks except State Bank, security printing press, gas and oil corporations .electric distribution, transmission and generation. privatised the iran pakistan gas piple line.. radio pakistan, pak tv. circuit houses. rest houses, abolish telegraph. make post office into autonmous body which must earn revneue or deemed to become fully private . There fore less corruption. less ministries.. efficient and lean govt. Invite Dr. Muhtahir of Malaysia and Dr; Lee Kwan of Singapore both of them vast management experiences as former PM of their countries.
Man in China
Hello IMF, here we come again.
If its a provincial matter, then I hope that IK will solve in KPK and will not ask for federal help. Grow up and research before positing.
Ishaq Dar is good choice to be FM
Dooomed. Expect another rupee fall against dollar
What's changed then? Khadim-e-Lahore will stay for ever I guess.
All in the family.
p.s. electricity generation is a provincial matter, what did SS do regarding that during his last [complete 5-year] tenure?
Great , strong recommendation to buy property in UAE and UK. The property prices would go up in UAE with Dar becoming finance minister in Pakistan. He already has huge investments and multiple skyscrapers in Dubai.
