Pakistan being ranked higher than Brazil, Argentina and Turkey doesn't make much sense to be honest. Those countries have much more sophisticated industries, higher GDP per capita, etc.

[@hke.4475]

Turkey currently has a inflation rate of 100%

[@zetaforever4953]

Current situation doesn't matter, the trajectory of the country matters. Turkey has ridiculous levels of inflation and Argentina and Brazil have stagnated for decades, to a lesser or greater degree. Pakistan, on the other hand, was a growing economy until the pandemic and still has a burgeoning population, who will contribute to economic growth in the near future. Even if each of those people produces half as much as the average Brazilian or Argentine, it would still leave Pakistan a lot richer than both in the future. A country can be rich even if its citizens are not. India is a far richer country than Brazil, for instance, although the average Brazilian is much richer than the average Indian. This is, of course, assuming that the current economic crisis doesn't lead to a political collapse in Pakistan.

[@whysoserious7553]

That's because Pakistan's ex daddy USA has given pakistan more than 30 billion dollar as aid since 2001 not only aid US helped pakistan to grow it's economy by controlling pakistan rupee dollar exchange rate like it did in Afghanistan after US invasion of Afghanistan US made Afghanistan currency more value like afghan currency is equal to 1 Indian rupee.

The country is going on only because it acts as a counterweight to India, whenever Pakistan gets on verge of getting in default USA give it loans to keep it going more, and lately that's been done by China now, the strong military leadership at top has radicalised the population on the basis that India is a threat to them so they have to stay in power, so people are afraid to ever protest against military and even when protests occur military with their guns shut them down.

Just watched this episode. All good but it fails to explain the major cause of Pakistan's economic collapse i.e. Corruption at institutional level by military. The reason Pakistan's economy was flourishing till 2018 was because USA was in Afghanistan, and Pak was indirectly getting US dollars for it. As soon as taliban took control and US left Afghanistan, the main source of dollars disappeared overnight, putting pressure on local business to generate revenue especially dollars. As a result forex depleted. Also the rise of security threat from Afghanistan added additional stress on Pakistan.

[@drscopeify]

@@JustAPokemonCommentingOnVideos Well Pakistan has not (yet) defaulted and Sri Lanka has so it's a clear answer there. Its one thing for banks or companies to default but for a the entire country itself that is a very very big problem, how can any foreigner trust investing even 0.01 cent? They may never get it back right? So that kills all trust. It can take a long time to get trust back.... China might not care about trust because they want power and control so for them default might actually be positive but even China at some point might say, that is enough money wasted on games of power, no more.

Pakistani here. Would like to add a few comments: * 11:41 Pakistan's economy was resilient on paper. The military aid Pakistan got was mostly funnelled into consumption lead growth. Source: Bust, boom, and bust - Mush’s Muddy economic footprint | Profit Explains * 13:12 the building on the bottom left has been "under construction" for more than 10 years. It is location at one of the most prime locations of Lahore. Yet, it remains empty, not being used to add value to the economy. This issue is not only with this building, but a lot of land through out the country. * 13:27 Freezing petrol and electricity prices was a political move. PM Khan knew he was going to be overthrown soon, so he laid out the trap. When the new gov came into power they were hesitant to correct course for months, as they believed it would be an unpopular move. In the meanwhile, the gov burned a significant amount of our foreign reserves. * 14:12 In order to resume the IMF program, the gov is no longer controlling the exchange rate. * 4.2 seems a bit generous, especially compared to Turkey's 3.8.

I am a Pakistani, and I am happy to see your community & your impartiality, now here's my take on all of this, as an average Pakistani... when the subcontinent was freed by the Britishers, India sensing the danger of a political imbalance, created a law that bounded the chief of army staff to not act on their own, rather will have to ask secretary (who is under the PM themselves) for any action possible, and I'll say that's a fantastic move because army can't legally move on their own... whereas in Pakistan it is permissible for the army to announce Martial Law anytime possible while giving a reason that is "VALID" according to them and nobody can deny them, so technically if your intentions aren't good, you can threaten the current PM and the government as much as you want and if you don't like the government you can just simply overthrow it "LEGALLY" and since the independence of Pakistan the Army and the Establishment only supports those people who obey them, meaning, they're corrupt. Sometimes they work behind the shadows and the other time they straight up take over the country, but in this current specific state (Imran Khan) has more public support than any other leader in Pakistan ever had. (Of course Bhutto had some influence, but he didn't have the access of the modern communication tech) ever since Pakistan has been freed the army and establishment has always been corrupt and to secure themselves even more they have powerful people in the whole system and structure who are willing to vouch them and basically that leads us to here... (Now some of you might say that I'm not "PATRIOTIC" enough, well I hate the corrupt people in it because they own most of the Pakistan's real estate assets and make black money out of it while poor gets poorer!)

I travel internationally a lot for work and one thing I notice in basically every developing country (incl. Pakistan) is that no one ever pays income or sales tax. Vendors at the street level demand cash payment and pocket 100% of the profit rather than declaring the sale. I can't say how much of an impact this has but I do know that in my (advanced) country where I am forced to declare all my income and pay 30+% of it as tax, we do tend to get a lot more by way of standard of living...

[@darkace0387]

TAX collection is not as low as govt cries about it, its just that we lack exports and value additions that generates little to low revenue streams, otherwise establishments such as FBR does have corrupt bureacrats and the mingle with direct taxation leading to unsecure and un clear tax collection. On the other hand indirect taxation is huge, almost 41% + which is huge i.e FEDs, Excise duties, GSTs, customs etc. Although big bussiness does avoid taxes, the direct ones because of their unethical war against the bureacrats and the policy which affects their bussiness, it should be a two way link. Otherwise many corporation uses FTR based taxation resulting in direct salary tax. i hope they would tax properties to some extent but sadly it's not happening

[@namaan123]

Yeah that's partly why the country is so resilient; little or no sales/income tax plus very little financing options. So things are purchased in cash and the money is kept in full.

[@raviv3398]

That’s why gov earns mostly in developing countries from excise duties and gst/hst. India charge hefty duties on oil as oil is biggest import of India. Buying more (extra) oil directly make weak rupee. Weak rupee means cost of imported products rises. Means, oil will be more expensive than last purchase in Rupee. Reason why Indian economy works fine even in this inflation, oil always was charged big duties by central-local government, which were lowered in high global oil prices and now increased back when global oil price lowered, keeping, oil price less changed (stable increase) unlike western world where oil price went from 0.8 dollar to 2.5 dollar per litre in Canada in few months. That oil price increase f.up Canada in inflation, while India is still chilling. Inflation has increased but not that bad compare to rest of the world. Indian rupee to dollar will keep going down, Petrol will keep getting expensive in India,as they are related but it’s very smooth.

You should definitely do Bangladesh; despite being in the same region, both being once in the same country twice, and both having faced a lot of the same challenges, Bangladesh's economy seems to be much more prosperous, stable, and rapidly growing the point its the richest South Asian country on GDP per capita level (nominal) despite being one of the poorest in the world not that long ago. It would definitely give better insight into how a country might industrialize and take advantage of the cards given to it. Given that, historically, it was one of the largest economies 500 years ago and it was the source of majority of exports within Pakistan when it was apart of Pakistan pre 1971 it might be very compelling to get further analysis especially as lots of people see it as the next Vietnam.

How is the concept of job=money being threatened by automation? What do you mean by full automation exactly? Regardless...capitalism isn't a construct, it doesn't depend on any rules we make as humans, capitalism is the name we give to the natural survival of people so we can study it and not mess with it more than necessary. I.e. capitalism is always there, no matter how much you try to restrict it with laws & regulations. Automation is just "tools", and tools always increase efficiency, which leads to a higher standard of living for all humans, plus some byproducts from the changes introduced, mainly environmental impacts and social impacts, which we then try to engineer away or limit with laws and regulations. In short Capitalism will be fine, but I'm thinking your question is more about social structure and people than about capitalism??

There are two famous sayings in Pakistan, I've heard them on interviews of Pakistani people posted on KZbin. The first one is about the Pakistani army: "Jung kabhi jeete nhi, chunaav kabhi haare nhi." The important part of this statement, when translated, means that the army has never lost an election. Every govt. is subservient to the army, and no government has ever completed it's term. The second statement is a copy of an old saying, "Pakistan doesn't have an army, it's the Defence Housing corporation which owns a country." I don't exactly know what the defence housing corporation is, but by it's name, it must be an authority which takes cares of the housing and other financial aspects of the army and it's soldiers. The thing is, the army has dipped it's fingers in almost every economic activity, which makes it impossible for the government to increase taxes on anything, even when it's needed desperately.

@Truther Yes, it's been an ongoing situation for about a decade now. Unfortunately, the media isn't covering it as heavily as they used, but it's still happening. Energy and food security is a major problem the country faces as there's fewer and fewer people working in the agricultural industry, the effect of rolling blackouts(we call these black outs Load-shedding) on the agricultural industry as well as another failing State Owned Enterprise called Transnet which is in control of the transport of goods around the country, from ports and such. A few months ago, Transnet workers went on strike for higher wages, and negotiations went terribly. If workers didn't return soon, the country would have started experiencing fuel and petrol shortages. There's a myriad of problems South Africa is facing. And with the government cozying up to Russia and clearly not condemning the Ukraine invasion, South Africa will be punished futher for this, and we average citizens will feel the brunt of it.

Pakistan's economy has faced several challenges and shortcomings over the years, including poor infrastructure, energy crisis, lack of technological advancements, political instability, and corruption. One of the most significant challenges faced by Pakistan's economy is the energy crisis. The country has been facing severe energy shortages, which have adversely impacted industrial growth and led to a decline in foreign investment. The inadequate infrastructure and outdated technology in the energy sector have further aggravated the problem. Another challenge is the poor state of infrastructure, which includes transportation networks, power grids, and telecommunication systems. The inadequate infrastructure has not only hindered economic growth but also limited the country's ability to attract foreign investment. Moreover, Pakistan's economy has been marred by political instability and a lack of policy continuity.

I'm Indian so this may be a little biased. They did good that time coz of usa aid. Pakistan was providing bases and other things for Afghanistan war. Main problem was their army and leaders are corrupt. Hardly any industry other than textile setup which may contribute to gdp. And textile is getting big competition from Bangladesh. They will default as they still not doing what is need of hour. You can still hear news like a govt officer's daughter receiving $4.6 million in wedding gift. With aid etc they are only extending the default.

They're sitting on trillions of dollars worth of natural resources at the base of the himalayan mountains but they don't have any means to extract and refine them. Maybe one of the strings attached to the loans would be to open those up to China or US firms.

You should make a video about the danish economy, would be very interesting.

If India hadn't made nukes then Pakistan would not have made them. The two things are not related at all, not having nuclear weapons was an existential question especially considering how hostile India is towards Pakistan.
