[@JohnSmith-vn8dm]

@@raitarun323 I'm sure Islamism causes a lot of problems for India. And how India wants to handle Hindu-Muslim relations is its own internal matter. But at least on what is going on in China, I can tell you that what you are saying is actually not true. The Moody's Credit rating is based on a country's indebtedness and their ability to pay back loans. Right now most of China's local and municipal governments are heavily indebted and having trouble meeting all their expenses. One reason for this is just the covid lockdown. But the other two reasons are heavily related to the one child policy. First is that the dependency ratio is getting worse since there are few children. This means the population is getting older and more people are retired and do not create income. They receive more in social services than they pay back as taxes which strains the economy. The other issue is the decline in the housing market in China has deprived local governments of land sale revenue, because no one wants to buy new houses. But this also is related to the one child policy. The population is declining so the total number of houses needed is also less. So implementing a one child policy in India will not improve its credit rating, in fact it will likely make it worse. There might be other reasons such as demographic shift that India might have valid concerns about birth rate. But on a national level the real issue in India is that the birth rate is actually too low. If you look at a country like Indonesia, they have a higher GDP per capita AND a higher fertility rate, which is a major advantage for them over India. The moment your rate dips below 2.1 or 2.2 that is a problem because it is very hard to raise the fertility rate once it has dropped. The urban rate especially in India should be a big concern.

My advice to Lutyens sympathizes who have soft corner to Pakistan should request Rahul to send Ex RBI governor who is close to him to send Pakistan. The would best idea, if Rahul sent the leftist economists of Indian origin and teach Nyay scheme to Pakistan, how to pay thousands to all the poor people every Pakistanis.

Black market rate is at 400 as somebody says. Many are converting Pak. Currency to dollars and taking outside. That means free fall is steep fall for a hard landing. Soon it will be at 500 level and there it might stabilize.

Dear Shekhar, thank you for this focused attention on burning issues like this one. One question- usually at times like this there is some kind of expression of popular anger. Do you think this will be directed at the de jure government with the army escaping all blame? Also as a lay person, I was wondering if this was the right time for Pakistani arms export - basically getting rid of non front line weapons to Ukraine and other war zones (very much non liberal thinking but when you are on the brink what can a nation do…)

Seems like Pakistan economy is a guilty pleasure topic for SG sir😂😂 but yeah, if Pakistan defaults, I’m curious to know what impact it would have on India. And how can india leverage this position…I won’t be surprised if they blackmail the world by threatening to sell nuclear weapons to taliban or someone.

It's only after they default that they will learn of the cascade of structural reforms necessary, which will all but wipe out every privilege the Defence establishment ever enjoyed. So much for brinkmanship.

[@ravindra7791]

I didn't know Pakistan had defaulted once, when and how....

[@DR_BABA_BENGALI]

In its existence of 75 years, Pakistan has taken loans from IIMF 24 times, taken loans from China, taken loans from Saudi Arabia, and taken loans from Qatar. Pakistan has defaulted over 10 times. It has taken out loans to pay previous loans multiple times. If ur reserve is made up of loans given by foreign nations then u will eventually owe those loans

[@ravindra7791]
