No doubt federal PSDP allocations are very low in case of KP. Even the allocations for Merged area are not being released. Already only 1000 billion rupees allocated out of 19,000 for development budget. This shows how badly federal finances are planned.
The country’s development budget faces the axe. This govt lacks the competence & legitimacy to perform the most basic functions of governance.

Good article, brutal reality. Pakistan’s “recovery” is a mirage—macro stats gamed, stock market pumped for headlines, not people. No trickle-down, just leakage and corruption. Power prices are economic suicide. No manufacturing, no exports. Elites rent-seek, park money in Dubai,

Imran Khan’s arrest & treatment in jail was disgraceful & unjust but suddenly became justified when Pakistan faced hostilities on its border claims the bewildered govt spokesman. Any media interaction that is non censored & non scripted invariably exposes this unelected lot.
In 2023, spokesperson to the Pakistani PM, Mosharraf Zaidi, tweeted: "Imran Khan's arrest is disgraceful and reconfirms that Pakistan will not be able to become a normal country any time soon." @SkyYaldaHakim questions him on if he still stands by this tweet ⬇️

Good questions by Shahzad. He mentioned that 4-5 years ago, media (especially his news channel) was drumming beat about increasing LNG imports & now diverting excess. We (at BR Research) used to write against increasing RLNG import. Today chickens are coming home to roost

SBP’s decision to cut interest rate by 0.5% is good but it’s not good enough. There was more room to reduce interest rate given the fact that average inflation is 5% and future annual forecast is below 7%.

Already among the worst 10 countries in the world in terms of investment ratio, now we expect further deterioration. This is very alarming. Since coming into power in April 2022, PMLN’s inability to get investment is its biggest failure.
