Well, everyone knows they have a clear economic plan and the plan is good. But I'm not too sure about the Terrorism. They must come up with a solid solution to the Terrorism question otherwise it will keep haunting the economic progress as well. Hope they have some Ishaq Dar in the Interior Ministry as well.
