Atif Mian got the prediction right...Now hearing after 9 years, he had hit the bull's eye.

[@aamirrizwan5067]

Pakistan private sector is not competitive. I agree Pakistan decline is across the board since at least 1992. I agree

[@macrofinancesuff8161]

15:15 Prof. Mian says, "What are those deeper issues? Those are more institutional. I have some theories on that. Sometime they don’t go very well in the public audience." If an esteem academic with no political agenda cannot honestly speak about economic / public policy issues in public (because it offends some powerful interest groups - military/ISI? taliban?), how can you expect the political class to address them.

[@touseefashraf1]

If these policies are not going to work then what is the way forward? You mentioned exports but how we can increase exports? How we can be competitive?

[@hpremjit]

Holding conferences on South Asia economic growth and refusing to trade with the largest economy of South Asia...... that's Pakistan for you guys.

[@zakakhan7557]

Love you and miss you Atif sir.

[@mohammedaslam2518]

Great person.

[@ahmedayaz6685]

Average Pakistani is not less smart compared to average Indian. But there is difference which I have observed while studying in Germany. Indians get better grades compared to Pakistanis. The reason is they have better universities than in Pakistan. Our standards are low

[@ahmedayaz6685]

The problem is our priorities are different. There are academic lectures on youtube from Indian universities (example nptl) in different fields specially Engineering. How many are from Pakistan?? .... The number is very low(sadly) .

[@ahmedayaz6685]

If this continuous then Pakistan will be far behind compared to China and India. We would always be sitting on Chinese lap for development..... Aur log shor machate raheinge falan banda kafir hai murtad hai waghaira

[@thinkpositive6886]

Ahmed Ayaz Salute bro.... For your thoughts.. 👏👏👏👏 love from India.. 💞💞💞🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@rehanamian904]

Our standard is low because religion is above everything. Who is KAFIR and who is not.

[@zubairahmad7494]

We have got xinping

[@dredericktotem1245]

♦ Is there any reason the camera does not pan towards the screen with his slides on it? ♦ While I realise this was not a deep analysis, I think it is a little fanciful for him to be using the results of the cricket team as a proxy for the decline of institutions, LOL. Is he even sure the trend is correct? Pakistan may have declined in cricket, but might it have _gained_ in position in football [soccer]? I believe Pakistan's decline in hockey has to do with the convergent decline of hockey results by India [if you think why, the reason becomes obvious. India had a good hockey team → Pakistan had to "retaliate"]. Also, hockey was simply not as competitive internationally when India & Pakistan were the champs.

[@InternationalGrowthCentre]

Hi there, sorry the slides aren't included on the video. They are available on our website (www.theigc.org/). Just click here: www.theigc.org/sites/default/files/sessions/Atif%20Mian.pdf

There is a bigger reward capturing India instead doing trade with it . Narrated by Prophet Muhammad SAWS. But you beleive in him
