IMF wants Pakistan to make 174 legislative changes under ongoing loan programmes

[RealNapster]

Imran Khan bankrupted Pakistan in 2021-22 with $20bn CAD, before that Nawaz in 2017-18 with his stupid policies. Keep FX reserves around $40-50bn and CAD under control and you will not need IMF ever again.

Till now you have been fed with army led dollars inflows which stopped in 2015 and economic crisis started. Even now its army running around trying to secure dollars, be it making defence pacts with Saudis or trying to be in good books of Americans for $10bn facility.

Or you think GCC actually give visas to soo many Pakistanis out of good will? its army stupid

I think you missed the question. Let me ask again.

Is IK responsible for this ask from IMF or can we now say Shahbaz sharif and PMLN and PPP and establishment sold Pakistan to IMF ? Because if IK doomed pakistan economically, then why were IMF conditions too "friendly" as compared to these one they put to SS government ? It means IMF is not patwar and actually consider today's Pakistan more economically unstable then Pakistan of 2021-22 (which you cant stop crying about).

That being said, I still dont know how IK government gave us 6.2% GDP growth rate in a so called "bankruptcy". If he can do that. Than maybe bring that bankruptcy back.

6% growth with $20bn CAD. Dear we have gone through that already, don't you think making same mistake again and again is stupid?

Why not work towards earning dollars and not just borrowing them to spend on subsidized imported petrol like Imran Khan brillant idea of bankrupting Pakistan.

Just answer the fuckin question man. Why are patwaris so difficult to deal with.

And imported fuel was never subsidized by IK government. The did removed the levy and made it zero dollars though. Doesn't mean he was paying from government pocket. Charging zero levy when oil prices skyrocket and actually subsidizing are two different things. Maybe its hard for you to differentiate.

And the reason for zero levy was so that the effects of global oil prices doesn't effect local industries and they remain competitive. But ye apki buddi me ni jay gi baat.

i don't disagree with your points, but don't you think it was better for the Army to fix the country itself rather than run around trying to secure foreign aid?
FIX the corruption pithole, the root cause of it all. Charity should begin at home. If the all powerful can't do it, then surely and slowly the external aid help will dry up soon (when nobody is willing to give anything). Why are they NOT fixing the big white elephant? We hve thugs/mafias ruling the country and busy living lavish lives while the poor suffer. WHY NOT FIX THE OBVIOUS FIRST ??

i would not wanna rely on remittances too much now, any big war again in ME, KSA and other places will see those remittances come to a screaching halt. War can restart anytime now. Hyperinflation everywhere will see LESS money being sent to Pakistan anyway and countries will start making it costly to send money to discourage it. This simply cannot be relied upon to save from bankruptcy.

I dont give a damn about any politics/parties or any sides. What we need is to end corruption and fix the bad mismanagement and wastage of taxpayer money. When we see it blown off by use of lavish protocols, lavish jet trips to UK, USA, etc, its very obvious (bureaucracy, judiciary, parliament/senate, presidency and PM and all the CMs and provincial officials and politicians and all).

Sab ke sab abhi b corruption aur ayashi mei lagay huway hain..kisi ko UN mein speech kerne jana hai, kisi ne bachi ki graduation aur shadi mei jana hai, kisi ne iran jana hai ?? WTF is going on.

Even here in Canada, we do our best to avoid spending unnecessary money and save where its possible. for example, Doctor appointments are Virtual appointments and the pharmacy delivers the meds! That moneys saved in gas when no need to go to the doctors office for some ailments or consultations.

Why can't those idiots ruling Pakistan realize that? Zoom pe speech kerlo. UN jana zarori tha when u have a fucking ambassador posted there on foreign soil ?? inki hoteling aur shopping trips hee khtam nahi hotin.

Those gravy trains for ALL the ruling elites needed to end fullstop. Yesterday.

 

[HAIDER]

So no end to corruption and money laundering and misuse of taxpayers monies?

When will IMF scrutinize the corrupt rulers and their wastage of public funds?

corruption zarori ha .............lollll.

 

[ACE OF HEARTS]

The sooner, the better.

Let the current rulers / government, make these hard decisions and face the wrath of public, themselves.

Ofcourse egoistic enemies of the servants of the people, will become more popular.

Pakistan was losing money on petrol back in 2022. Plus subsidy meant people started hoarding it and oil imports sky rocketed, reason for record high CAD.

Right now Pakistan is in very different position and have kept CAD under control despite Iran war.

As far as who is to blame for current IMF program and conditions? Nawaz/Imran era from 2013-2023. 10 years of absolute retarded economic policy. Borrowing dollars to spend on imports. Signing expensive deals that were not needed like many CPEC IPPs power plants, Qatar LNG deal etc

The good news is Pakistan energy problem is going to solve forever on its own thanks to cheap solar+battery. No more imported coal, LNG in few years. Diesel/petrol demand will be curbed with EVs. There is finally light at the end of tunnel and no more IMF after 2028.

As if everything will be running smoothly from EV? What about buses, trucks, farm equipments, ?? Jets?
i don't know how that will work out......because EV's are very expensive.
Solar system installation is very expensive (you're looking at 10 lac Rs at least) for an average household which is not affordable. Who has such money to invest?
Jinke pas tha, unhon ne lagwa liyay huway hain......baqiyon ke pas itne paise nahi.
Now govt has gone after the solar people for doing netmetering and avoiding payment on bills thru solar/battery uses.

And how will u replace Sui/gas which is needed to heat homes/geezers and use in cooking in entire country......from tandoors to kitchens, all use gas. More in winters than summers but still.

Will they be provided free of charge to entire 250 million people or households?
we would all like to see how we overcome our energy crunch.

the corrupt elite thugs/mafias will want their money, if they dont get it from oil or gas then they will tax us to death for other stuff. There is no winning here

Already thousands of EV buses are running on Pakistani roads, more coming. Solar is replacing diesel at record pace for tube wells. Solar adoption isn't slowing down and now battery revolution is around the corner.

Banks have started financing solar installations. In few years you recover money vs using grid.

LNG power plants will be taken offline in 3 years so all local gas will be diverted to industry. Homes will use electric geyser/heater.

Thar railway track soon to be completed will save $2bn in coal imports.

Like I said solar/battery/EV have solved Pakistan energy problem. By 2030 Pakistanis would have installed >>100GW of solar panels. Right now solar imports have crossed 60GW as of June 2026.

I really like your positive posts!
Indeed, reforms have been made, progress has been made. Remember in 2022 when even the new govt had its top officials (Kh. Asif?) that Pakistan was 'already in default'. No country goes from the supposedly 6% growth to negative growth in just 6-12 months unless the 6% growth was hyped: Living on credit cards!

Going forward: From what I understand, Pakistan is again on the path of 'growth' unless the Middle Eastern wars drag Pakistan down. But due to the current 'hybrid' nature of the regime in Pakistan, no need to blow away the gains of the last 3-4 years for electoral reasons: The real powers behind the setup is going to dictate the outcome of the next elections and more power to the real powers! No Mr. 30% polled is the voice of Pakistan: Other parties too have their own vote bank whether one likes that or not.

You wouldn't answer han ? Worries about your next check from maryum media cell ?

You do realize there was a fcuking war between Russia and Ukraine and prediction was that this will destabilize the oil market and will casue severe challenges for small exporters ?

So what IK did ?

1. Signed deal with Russia for discounted oil in the middle of the fucking war.

2. Removed the levy so that local exporters remain competitive in international market. .


This would have worked agar apka baajwa apny state ky or apny PM ky khilaaf na jata or open resistance na show krta conferences me. Suddenly everyone forgets why there was VONC. SS is oh record saying "isn't russia se deal krky USA ko naraz kr Dia tha beggers cant he choosers". Tm log sab gajni ki olaady ,bhool gye ho ???

Well - if you can't be bothered to make real reforms on your own to stop problems arising in the first place, then you have to accept some bad medicine from others to do what they ask of you.

I'd like to see a list of these reforms. They might be good things. Media always portrays it negatively.
