Like what? Coping with calling others' GDP fake for not having one of your own?

You are taking your own thread off topic, unable to grasp that you revised your own GDP projections because of data and methodology criticism.


Ask yourself why this is inviting ad hominem

Genius, base year revision happens every 10 years to incorporate newer surveys and better data. The downward revision was a result of newer inflation base, newer household consumption surveys (HCES) and so on. It was obvious after such a long gap the methodology/data had become obsolete.

We didn't rise our GDP out of nowhere by 18% or something.

Cope away paj, cope away

Self projection much, paj?

So there you go, credible papers had been written going back 5 years or more that the methodology and data was just not helpful to understand a reflective real-world picture.

And you just said overtime it became obsolete, and obviously so.

Which is what other skeptics were indicating

In fact your wording is harsher.

So what exactly are you upset about,

Your rants are getting more and more deranged as you lose an argument and naturally Pakistan gets dragged into every single one of your posts....

Eh, don't like certain reality huh? What you mean every single post lol! This is the first time I did a comparison and you went defensive. The point is still valid, you spend too much time finding faults in silly things debating it as if you are commissioner in IMF. But cannot apply the same standards to your own country.

Fella, does not take an expert to see that Pakistan dominates much of your daily life. Your posts on different threads, coming on here daily, the multiple IDs.

It is like Pakistan skull f**ked you and you cannot get over it.....

No one has validated Pakistan's GDP

It will be the same challenges on data validity and reasonable assumptions


You should just review everything that you have ultimately conceded and agreed with, your IMF data quality rating is a c by the way, so that's the IMF position and that's something else for you to try and deflect away.

What is your problem man


There is talk of inflated bubbles every day, overvalued companies etc


And this is where your lack of understanding comes through, the problem is not inherently a multiple of X or y, the problem was that Indian price to earnings relative to the msci emerging economy benchmark was way way higher.

Oh dear, you have no clue do you? This is not a problem rather a praise. India has a higher P/E than many emerging markets. This is because investors priced in stronger expected earnings growth, stable institutions, and lower geopolitical risk than peers.

Such a common theme to ignore benchmarks, or understand them properly, so you probably did not even bother to understand how to look at developed market price to earnings.

Why should I praise myself when you are praising us inadvertently lmao.

You said every country uses the same way to calculate employment activity and unemployment rates...... That's on you my friend.

Usual comprehension issue still plaguing you. I said India uses same ILO standard just like US or UK. The methodologies is not even same for US and UK lest India. But they follow the same guidelines India follows.

The point is you thought India does annual extrapolation. Which is why your argument fell apart, keep trying to find a ground. Hopefully you can figure something out.

When actual data, Indian data, shows that national energy demand is more or less flat year on year.

Electricity consumption grew on average 5-6% every year now averaging 6% every year you can just do one Google search and find the consumption growth. Instead of wasting my time. The recent dip in growth to only 1% 2025, (slowest because monsoon came early) electricity generation in 2026 grew 10% yoy, India hit historical peak demand in 2026 April 21, 270GW. This doesn't look flat. Let's hear the next claim.
