The most worrisome aspect of any conversation by SBP Governor or the Finance Minister is toooo much focus on foreign borrowing to claim stability and increase foreign exchange reserves. They also take pride in it. It’s like a financially broke person saying that HBL, MCB, UBL and ABL are willing me to give me more loans. Have we really given up on increasing exports and foreign direct investment? Is this what we get after fifth consecutive year of stabilization? Foreign Borrowing to convince government employees to join pension scheme. Foreign borrowing to reform FBR. Foreign borrowing to increase competitiveness. Foreign borrowing to convince foreign and local investors to Invest.

But honest question.. what more should government do for exports? From PM's statement not long ago, they seem to have given up on exporters. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/javedeqbalpk1/status/2…

صنعتکاروں نے اس طرح سبسڈیز لیکر خزانہ لوٹا، لیکن برآمدات نہیں بڑھاسکے، وزیراعظم شہبازشریف کی زبانی 👇 ایکسپورٹ بڑھانے کیلئے انڈسٹری کو سونے کے چنے کھلائے، سبسڈیز کے دروازے کھولے، لیکن اُن صنعتوں نے برآمدات نہیں بڑھائیں. حکومت نے موجود وسائل سے خون پسینے کی کمائی سے ان صنعتوں کو ریلیف دیا. صنعتوں نے یقین دہانیاں کرائی تھیں کہ برآمدات بڑھائیں گے، لیکن 70 کی دہائی سے آج تک یہ صنعتیں کچھ نہیں کرسکیں

Imran Khan was ousted on April 10th, 2022. On that day, total public foreign debt liabilities of the Government of Pakistan (pure government debt, excluding non-governmental debt) was $88.80 billion. Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves of the SBP (pure SBP reserves, excluding commercial banks' reserves) were $10.56 billion. ​Net foreign debt = Public foreign liabilities minus SBP reserves $88.80 B − $10.56 B = $78.24 B ​As of today, 27th Oct 2026: ​Public foreign liabilities (excl. non-govt debt) = $98.08 B ​SBP reserves (excl. commercial bank reserves) = $21.49 B ​Net liabilities = $76.59 B ​Net improvement: $78.24 B − $76.59 B = $1.65 B

Exports and FDI are SIFC responsibilities. This is called outsourcing. MinFin, with a slight modification to FinMin that we now profusely use, and the Gov SB, are only responsible to keep the books balanced through beg, borrow, steal. Not steel.

What else can the government do in the given situation? Liquidity fueled, consumption led growth? It is like doing the same thing and expecting a different result! Stabilization is a hard earned stage and a necessary prerequisite to growth but growth should only be export led. Period! We shouldn’t take stabilization for granted; not least from someone like yourself @81shahbazRana However, Pakistan must not artificially keep the PKR appreciated. That is going to hurt the exporters and subsidize imports.

these borrowings, in fact, are triggering consecutive waves of inflation, stability is deception

And infact they get loan on the behalf of remittances, no one gives loan to a guy not making enough money, but here we get loan because one of our family member sends pocket money every month 😂

This is a short-term and easy solution, but its other side is extremely dark. It is exactly like the IPPs.

It’s nothing new. It’s the age old remedy which has been used by the successive governments to make the country look 👀 good. 😊

Finance ministry is supporting the exporter by introducing low cost financing through EXIM bank pakistan.it is not magically process to boost export and remittance but I hope gradually exports will be enhanced.

The government has not stopped anyone from making products for export or creating opportunities than can attract FI. This thing depends more on the people than the government, gov's responsibility is to remove the hurdles, provide better environment, and that's what it has always
66
Done. So the point is that it's actually the people who lack creativity, innovative mindset and experience to compete in international markets. A businessmen who imports tens of stuffs from China for selling here, actually lacks the mindset/ability to manufacture those stuff here

Indeed... And yes they have given up especially after so called not so great SIFC. All they want is, Pakistanies to go abroad send remittances home & borrow foreign exchange from anywhere & everywhere.

This reflects the past four-year track record of GHQ Rawalpindi’s Field Marshal General Asim Munir's corrupt puppet regime : using massive foreign loans to fabricate economic stability and inflate foreign reserves, while actual exports and foreign direct investments are in sharp decline. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/81ShahbazRana/status/2…

Foreign loans should ONLY be taken if a project can earn and pay back in foreign currency. Borrowing in dollars and earnings in Rupees is why we are always having a balance of payment issues .
