5 billion USD loss per day is a baseless figure demonstrating the lack of understanding of finance and economics in Pasha and its representatives. When the collective export is less than 5 billion USD annually, how can a per day loss be same as the net export figure? Great tech education and merit based system are essential ingredients for the tech sector to grow and not just consistent policies. What will policies do without great manpower?

She probably meant $5 million per day.

@@himanshusingh5214 That's the point! A policy person who repeatedly misquoted the figure in spite of being prompted. Basic math and assessment skills missing.

As Pakistan moves closer to China, and also more tech collaboration with China, it would get impacted by US Export controls which are China related. This would be very visible in the tech sphere at higher end, no so much at lower end. But issues like data retention, access to cloud may become issues

*Losses of US$5 billion per day in Pakistan* due to disruption of Internet?? Wow! The total *GDP of Pakistan per day is less than US$1 billion* (annual GDP of Pakistan is less than 365 billion)... and they are making losses of US$5 billion per day! Please stop calling such *Madrassah-chap IT experts* for interviews!!
