More likely they will try and fleece everyone, believing they are crafty, get caught then be pressured into offsetting compensation due against rights to future resources99.9 % will be stolen by our criminal and corrupt politicians. These criminal politicians will sign with foreign companies to explore and exploit these resources while getting kickbacks.
Brah why are you sounding like , talking about Indian politicians hereMore likely they will try and fleece everyone, believing they are crafty, get caught then be pressured into offsetting compensation due against rights to future resources
It's a very plausible strategy
Pakistan's extremely susceptible to Dutch Disease, any large natural resource deposit will exacerbate underlying problems, not solve them (as we might be seeing now in Balochistan).
The best option, IMO, is to leave all those minerals in the ground until such time we have indigenous tech to discover, extract, and refine it. For me, the ability to develop that capacity domestically will be a key sign of developmental maturity, which will allow us to use these minerals to maximum effect, be it to advance our industries, generate hard currency gains, create leverage overseas.
bilkul, nobody interested in investing in our country because of instability which our third class incompetent gubment can't control. And how can they?But you have small time skirmishes and laborers pulled off getting shot on ethnic backgrounds - meaning it is NOT secure for investment. As a business person I am not interested in putting any money in a place where the situation is this.
Corporations too will be wary unless you can secure the area - so either they’ll ask to have their own PmCs who are more efficient in tackling these elements or they’ll go to Africa or Afghanistan who have better control or allow PmCs.
Marching is a poor metric and talking to weapons is a poor tangent to outline the serious lack of leadership and strategic acumen - combined with frankly a pathetic record in COIN overall.
Not to mention the horrendous exchange rate with militants and casualties but then life is cheap at the rate of one ISPR song to 200 men.
saudi arabia is okayeven if pakistan is the wealthiest country in terms of minerals, nothing will change, the system is massively corrupt and rigged, things will get worse if people did not do anything about it
saudi arabia is okay
Balochistan crisis.
I remember reading that such amount would only get one a second-hand Honda Civic in Pakistan.8 trillion usd / 250 million Pakistanis = $32,000 per individual.
I prefer cash
