well it seems the Austerity measures are for the poor/common folk only.

the ruling elites are still abusing and misusing funds and perks for their Trips to America and UK (personal trips, has nothing to do with Pakistan's state business) and there is nothing that stands in their way.

We already have more than capable Ambassadors in the UN offices in USA.
There was no need for Ishaq Dar to travel abroad.

And If he wanted, could've taken commercial flight? No they are just showing off pretending they do some work, but in reality, they're probably lining up their bank accounts and personal dealings using the state's money

No wonder they have no respect anywhere, even the Chinese Govt does not respect them anymore. Such a shame.
 
Can't Iran's oil enter Pakistan? Pakistan, backed by Iran, should not lack oil channels.
US sanctions sunk that project. Pakistan's lazy corrupt government never bothered to use any of its leverage during the US war in Afghanistan or any other time to get a sanctions waiver.

Instead they adopted their usual criminal path, they decided to smuggle Iranian oil into Baluchistan province and take their cut. Of course that doesn't work for the whole country.

Adhocism ... let's pass the debt to next govt and now this debt is monster and beyond control .... SIFC of 100 billion dollars is toasted ....
 
In the real world (ie, not PDF), Pakistan is pondering going to war against Iran's proxies at the behest of Saudi Arabia. I doubt that Iran will look kindly upon such shenanigans.

Pact with Saudi Arabia threatens to draw Pakistan into Middle East conflict
Pakistan and Iran share a territorial border, and Iran's oil reserves were not discovered only today. Have you not engaged in commercial cooperation with your neighboring country for decades? This has nothing to do with today's agreement with Saudi Arabia. I recall that for many years, you have not had any major conflicts with Iran in this region.
 
With Iran next door it's crazy how Pakistan has mismanaged its ability to buy fuel at a globally competitive price.. I guess Trump orders matter more than the energy security of its citizens

There’s already smuggled oil in Balochistan province and there is no doubt that if global oil shipping is curtailed then Iranian oil will flow in Pakistan anyway. Benefits both countries. Its always an option. Iran can get much needed stuff from Pakistan as well for its needs.
Undocumented ofcourse.
Do u really think its not happening on hidden and smaller scale?

doesnt matter who is in power, no serious investor will invest in a country where Judges can be bought.

not just that.
The entire world and its smart people/investors know where the crooked corrupt Pakistani leaders "elite" stash all their looted money..........so if they don't bother or knowingly do not "invest" in their own country...........how do u even expect foreigners to do it ?? Now they managed to piss China off too.

Given current issues and geopolitics, our stupid elite cant even manage borders or create policies and enforce......so why would anyone bother? Every foreign company has left Pakistan in the last few years........Proctor n Gamble, Lever brothers, Telenor, Western airlines, etc
The mills i know still operating have reduced the local poor employees shifts, cut the OT and increased their shifts from 8 hrs to 12 hrs daily and without OT pay. Poor workers employed at barely 18000-20000 Rs.

Its so bad that neither PIA, nor CAA can get any tenders filled or interested. They keep floating and extending dates, but no takers.

Writing's on the wall. The mafias have destroyed it all (corrupt judiciary,bureaucracy, military elites, parliament/senate, at every level)

Punjab CM Maryam openly mocks people and says she will do it again(take govt jet for private visits to her children in UK, and elsewhere as she pleases and nobody can do a thing about it). Thanks to military elite for installing these thugs on the country. Theyre too busy brown-nosing Iranians and Saudis to even care about Pakistani poor people.
They just want their investments abroad not to get hit or damaged

Allah SWT aisi kanjar "elites" to tabah o barbad keray, inka paisa sara tabah kerde jisse awam ko koi faida na huwa. May they all have miserable and pathetic ends wherever they go live abroad.

"austerity" bas sirf awaam bhugtay gi, inpe koi laagu nahi hota bc
