You still have time, please repent and make the rightious choice.
Chosen one has arrived, He claimed, under his command if PA through a stone or dirt on enemy, it will become missiles. Karamaat aur Mojazaat ka claim ho gaya hai, He has claimed his status, for life remains in command and has ultimate power and imunity on this earth.
He already has fixed most of the problems Pakistan was facing,
Remaining part is only, announcing a Black Flag for his Command.
Whoever dont see the signs and still oppose his are doomed, Devil will try to keep you astray, make agreements with Yahood o Nasarah, share stage with them and allow their voices to be broadcasted on Ummate Muslima kay Qilay aur Muhafiz Pakistan kay National TV par.
Sari Kainaat, time and space will end, we can speak about fazailaat of our Saviour from Yahoodi Agent, but that will still be less then a drop in the ocean.
We are lucky to be present in this time and blessed to see and hear Him, Qoum a rakhwala, maa betiyoon ki izzat ka rakhwala, ghar chardiwari ka rakhwala, selfless, Khilafat e Rashida ki yaad taza karwanay wala....
Allah Allah....

THE IMF’s long-awaited Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment report on Pakistan is a grim analysis of the country’s persistent corruptionchallenges, rooted in systemic weaknesses and chronic governance failures across state institutions, which stifle economic goals. The report finds that institutional weaknesses, lack of transparency in state functions, preferential treatment for select businesses, and inefficiencies in public-sector transactions are major constraints to growth.
The document’s publication, a precondition for the IMF’s approval for disbursing the next $1.2bn loan tranche in December, also calls for a series of reforms spread across the next three to six months to help raise the growth rate to 5-6.5pc over the next five years. It provides a detailed diagnostic of Pakistan’s inefficient and opaque tax system, SOE mismanagement, a judiciary hampered by antiquated laws hindering contract enforcement and property rights, politically driven financial discretion, and weaknesses in anti-corruption regimes. It questions the lack of transparency in the functioning of the Special Investment Facilitation Council and the immunity granted to its officials. No wonder the government had been delaying its publication despite repeated reminders from the IMF.
At the core of the GCDA is the argument that our poor economic performance is closely linked to opaqueness and discretionary practices that shape governance and policy outcomes. Thus, the report’s contention that effective reforms must begin with expanding access to information to anchor transparency and accountability across policy formulation, implementation and monitoring, and enable both state and non-state actors to participate more effectively in economic decision-making, should not be ignored. Without a shift to rules-based governance, the weaknesses will continue to suppress growth.
The accompanying 15-point reform agenda reinforces this argument. Broadly, the reforms aim for improvements in governance, anti-corruption frameworks, business regulations and foreign trade oversight as prerequisites to unlocking growth potential. The recommendations directly target institutional arrangements that entrench discretion and weaken market and investor confidence. They are aimed at ending preferential treatment for powerful public-sector entities; bringing transparency to SIFC decision-making and its approval of concessions for select businesses; tightening controls on financial discretion through greater parliamentary oversight; mandating e-governance procurement for state transactions; and restructuring anti-corruption agencies.
In short, the GCDA underscores that the current governance model based on opacity, discretion, privilege, institutional and legal decay, and political patronage cannot serve the best economic interests of the people. The difficulty is that Pakistan’s power centres as well as policy and business elites do not yet appear ready to give up their privileges and embrace the change even though time is fast running out for crucial, make-or-break decisions. Will the IMF diagnostic change that? The jury is out.

- Emphasis placed on adopting more focused approach to translate commitments into tangible outcomes
February 8, 2026
World Bank Group Managing Director Ms Anna Bjerde has reaffirmed the World Bank Group’s commitment to Pakistan’s ten-year development programme amounting to $20 billion, underscoring the money lending entity’s continued support for Pakistan’s reform and development agenda.
The World Bank MD said this in a meeting with Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb on Sunday on the sidelines of the Annual AlUla Conference for Emerging Market Economies, being held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Finance Division said in a press release, as both the dignitaries discussed country partnership framework and development priorities.
During the meeting, while following up on World Bank President Ajay Banga’s visit to Pakistan last week, Bjerde highlighted the importance of sustained engagement and effective execution to maximise the developmental impact of the programme.
The both sides reviewed the progress made under the Country Partnership Framework (CPF) and discussed the way forward to further strengthen development cooperation.
The discussions covered a range of priority sectors including energy, education, health, climate resilience, debt-for-development swaps, fiscal reforms, and infrastructure development.
