#Pakistan uses #import #duties as an instrument for industrialization. Duties are high, but higher for final goods than for inputs & machinery. On 17th Dec at 6pm I’ll join a distinguished panel to share my views. I’ll argue that import duties are implicit #export taxes. Join us!

This work by Diego Cerdeiro and others at the @IMFNews is fantastic. Daily AIS data from ships allows them to match official trade statistics (but faster, and with daily periodicity). Look at trade numbers for containerized cargo and for auto. #PakThink #COVIDー19 #Trade

How big is the drop in trade activity? Should it be attributed mostly to exports or to imports? We can now try to answer these questions using real-time shipping data: ow.ly/emTk50zGkef #IMFBlog #COVID19 #ChartOfTheWeek

Synergy of bureaucrats economist sociologists historians produces an exceptional developmental experience for any country and so will it for Pakistan some day. #Pakthink

Does good bureaucracy lead to better economic performance? OR Does economic performance lead to more professional bureaucracy? Anyone can answer except economists and bureaucrats. Bcz bureaucrats wl blame economists. And economists will blame bureaucrats. #PakThink

IMF's prescription for our usual ailments have been the same for the last couple of decades. نہ تم بدلے نہ ہم بدلے نہ بیماری بدلے صرف مذاکرات والے چہرے ہی بدلے #PakThink


I wish our people thought on these lines #pakthink

Many get worried after our currency depreciates. What we really need to worry about? Our investment to GDP ratio is too low (15%). Our public debt isn't sustainable. We r not producing skilled labor force. Our regulatory/policy inefficiencies r hindering entrepreneurship.



Dr. @econpk shared this report so pushed me to get a thread out with main results. Will do tomorrow ;-) #PakThink

Export promotion matters. #PakThink

Happy to note that well known brand, Hugo Boss, has placed its first order of sportswear to a Pakistani company. This achievement was due to the effort of PRGMEA for holding the 35th IAF Fashion Convention in Nov last year, in Lahore. Congratulations to Ijaz Khokhar and PRGMEA.



To make Pakistan, a prosperous society we need to produce and nurture quality entrepreneurs, politicians and scientists. #PakThink #PakReskill


We have been doing austerity, bans and controls. What we have not been doing? Enhancing oppertinities for people to be more productive and competitive. We all want to read why nations fail but we dnt read books that tell us why nations thrive. #PakThink

My decision to ban import of luxury items will save the country precious foreign exchange. We will practice austerity & financially stronger people must lead in this effort so that the less privileged among us do not have to bear this burden inflicted on them by the PTI govt.



With that team we can only expect success! #TEXxPIDE #pide_opportunity #PakThink

Law-breaking & violence is normal in Pakistan to deal with social, religious, domestic, property and political issues. This is the main feature of a tribal society that does not have a modern state with a monopoly of violence and the capability to establish rule of law. #PakThink


We need to come up with an ambitious plan to advocate preventive healthcare in Pakistan through healthy lifestyle. Otherwise we won't be able to finance heakthcare of huge ailing population. Need to educate ppl to do exercise, walk, eat healthy and reduce sugar/fats. #PakThink


the Bankster families. Banking is an economic component, not the other way around!! Capital must be used to benefit the economy rather than the economy being used to benefit the banks. 3/3 #PakThink


What did we get by banning Wikipedia? Not that we produce high quality papers in academic journals anyway, that we banned the biggest free source of information on the web. #PakThink #wikipediaBlocked

Every student in high schools & universities shd be trained as an entrepreneur. It does not mean everyone will do business. Though millions need to do! Entrepreneurial skill is all about decision making, risks and finding solutions of problems. Everyone should learn it. #PakThink


How can we have walkable cities with 45 degrees temperature? What’s the solution? #pakthink


Discuss macro numbers on twitter and never discuss or understand micro foundations of the economy. Dnt raise big questions on economic & social fundamentals. Never discuss oppertunities to grow the economy. Rule book to become a popular economist in Pakistan! #PakThink

Politics in Pakistan is about the money in your bank. Educated youth has brilliant ideas, but is broke. How can this lot first break the wheel and reconstruct it, to enter politics in the first place? #PakThink

Educated youth interested in politics should join the game as politicians instead of bashing and supporting politicians on twitter.



Who wants to live in a class based, regressive, patriarchal, economically failed state/society? #PakThink


Why educated and talented women want to leave Pakistan? I can see this trend is increasing rapidly. The number may be minimal now but has an increasing trend. Lets not get into size of this segment but focus on the question I posed even if the number is quite small. #PakThink


Everyone talks about current account deficit and fiscal deficit. No one talks about learning deficit in Pakistan. #PakThink


Why is #Pakistan lagging behind internationally in every field & sector? No eagerness & curiosity to learn among both students and professionals/policymakers! Knowledge=Innovation=Growth #PakThink

Dnt know who said it. But I recall it when I see the responce by people to my proposals regarding focus on domestic investment through entrepreneurship & revisting land-use policies in cities in order to come out of foreign debt trap and revenue constraints. #PakCities #PakThink

True. It is easier to collect (highly distortive) import taxes than to collect other (less distortive) taxes. That's why as countries develop they move away from trade taxes as they grow capacity to collect. Yet, #Pakistan is above average in terms of taxes on trade. #PakThink
