ToggleSilver Lining Pakistani Rupee Vs. Bangladesh Takka
Secularism is nothing but a philosophical point of view. Secularism is as biased as any other political and philosophical point of view. The idea a lot of people have about secularism is that it provides freedom of existence to everyone equally which is a false assumption. if you read on about its history, you would clearly see that it’s all about assimilation and that is it. It won’t make our economy better. If that were the case, Qatar won’t be stable today. The only way to boost our economy would be to:
A) educate the masses, women, AND men;
B) make better and educated economic policies;
C) have a local alternative for imported goods in the meanwhile.
Corruption in Bangladesh is at all levels but not the magnitude, scale, and greed as is here. However, they openly exhibit patriotism to the state, and anybody who criticizes the establishment does not mean they are necessarily a traitor. You still have to get them to exchange endorsed on your passport and generally use travelers squelches etc. Their patriotism is unique. Theirs do not necessitate the role of the Army or praising the army alone. Have you not seen them crying after losing the Asia Cup in a final with Pakistan. I am very sure there are amazing capable people in Bangladesh who would do a better job than Haseena and Co but look at where Pakistan is with its dynastic rulers so we can’t really be the ones to judge. Let’s change it.
Ever considered this, what will happen when:
- France EU stop aid and preferential import from PAK and caliph Erdogen or SAUDI oil sheiks shrink Paki jobs
- IMF loan repayment comes and we have to pay more in terms of Pak rupees
- China’s loan is in dollars and the Pak army’s main interest is China’s arms
- Paki elite invest and have safe havens in Dubai UK and USA, not China
The Pakistani rupee was gaining over the past three and a half years. It was a long-overdue correction that the incompetent govt was keeping it stable by taking fat loans. And now it’s repayment time. Armchair economists can only go and purchase dollars at the current rate if they are feeling so bullish about the dollar against the rupee. But once they start buying it, definitely the PKR will fall down because of the demand-supply chicken-egg situation. PKR will be more stressed after February when your repayment starts as demand for dollars will be very high. Hilale Pakistan awardee Biden resuming donation is the only solution.
What were the factors responsible for declining foreign direct investment (FDI) in Pakistan in 2020 before CORONA?
Pakistan received less FDI than even the Indian city of Delhi. The Government has not been up to the mark and its Finance Minister Mr. Asad Umar is wrongly frustrated over the results only he can deliver. The adviser to the PM on economic affairs, Mr. Abdul Razzaq Dawood is found to call Pakistan a failing state with all the limelight his Government tries to en-cash upon while begging in front of foreign investors.
What the hell? He is raising false flags. We think he should be sacked. Even JKT is found to have stated that we should seek an IMF loan; sooner no later. there is nobody but the IMF that is used to being the lender of the last resort -with the funds available for large loans to a country that needs dollars. No one else has experience or skill. No country can suddenly lend large amounts of money to another country – particularly without a project. China has figured out how to lend for projects.
But, no one has any experience to provide large amounts of cash to another country without any collateral. What good is collateral, anyhow? However, the Government, instead of negotiations with IMF, is found itself engaged in trivial matters such as change of name of BISP, auditing and inspecting human capital resources at PKLI instead of catching the real mafia culprits i.e. within.
1 Dollar in Pakistani Rupees
US dollar USD to Pakistani rupee PKR exchange rate history depicts, how many Pakistani ex-pats living in England would wish a victory for the same wretched Pakistan when there’s a cricket match against England. It truly is the question? For me it isn’t a tragedy -it’s rather an opportunity for the golden age of universalism. The friction we feel in every society and even within us is transitory. Pakistani Rupee to Dollar was strong soon after British India fell down. These are perspectives. We are living in the age of overlapping identities. Once it used to be a dream of every British civil servant to be appointed in India at the time of RAJ.
From 2000 to 2007, the dollar remarkably remained stable at Rs.60. After the change in Musharraf Govt, it moved to 80 by 2009 (an increase of 33%). Then it remained near that level till the 2013 election when it jumped to 100 (an increase of 25%). Then till 2017 it remained near 100 however by July 2018 (election date) it moved to 125 and then since last two years, it has averaged around 160 level. So expect another jump by 2023 near election time and then another afterward.
The actual logic behind this is simple, our debt is growing fast along with the current account deficit that is further reducing reserves. As long as our economy doesn’t perform better than the US or western countries, Rupee can’t stand at the same level.
The exchange rate is just a parity – a comparison of our economy versus the world. We will always lag behind them unless major reforms are done, which are unlikely. From 2007 to 2020, the rupee depreciated 7% on average every year against the dollar. So expect at least a 5% depreciation from today till the next 10 years. The exchange rate has depreciated in every Govt. The percentage drop is more or less the same as it is directly correlated to our foreign debt levels which have increased always. So regardless of the Govt, it’s all about how much debt is in the last year (election year) of a sitting Govt.
Pakistani Economy is Crumbling
It’s Corona, every single thing happening there in the US is because of Corona. But now USD definitely has to go up because of the vaccine. I am saying the same before celebrating its strength for a few weeks check how much strength the rupee lost during the previous 2 years. Meanwhile, Indian forex reserves are at an all-time high of 560 Billion vs Pakistan’s mere 12 Billion. Enough of cricketing analogies. Enough of throwing debris and nose-plucking on the past Governments. Now, it’s your turn. In 71 years, we have had 11K Billion PKR in loans whereas just in these 7 months, the current PTI government has taken 2500 Billion PKR for loan repayments and rupee devaluation adjustments.
There is an absolute uncertainty as the Government is found reluctant in giving a state’s policy on the economy to improve the Pakistani rupee to USD. In the past, as of today, our economy is struck by a war on terror and the Government is not moving an inch backward to cutting down on defense budgets. Fair enough. But it is the same name-tag reason now Pakistan is considered a safe haven for terrorists, how do we expect foreign direct investments in our country.
Pakistani Rupee vs Dollar
What is the exchange rate for the Pakistani rupee and why does it matter after all? The problem is this whenever the rupee gains by one Paisa, it is declared by drum beating. then when it loses by one rupee, the matter can’t be hidden. Otherwise, nobody would have noticed this. EU leaders made sanctions against Pakistan and Turkey. The Turkish lira is also at an all-time low. Both leaders need to apologize to the west and renew relationships. Acting violent towards European culture and abusing European leaders is just wrong. I hope the Pakistani economy gets better.
When a person migrates or adopts foreign nationality, it’s all about bettering one’s economic and career prospects and all the world is an oyster for a talented, capable and hardworking individual! I see no harm in it and it doesn’t make anyone ‘less’ patriotic in any sense. Pakistani Rupee symbol as it stands is well below Bangladeshi Takka. Shibli Faraz’s Statement about IMF brought a frenetic that people will not be able to buy Dollars instead of Rupees.
The dollar to Pakistani rupee rate today may be different but to my awareness, it should be 170 Rs. to 1$ should be the best correction. The only way PKR can improve value is by paying off the national debt, increasing foreign reserves, and increasing GDP. All others are just cosmetic measures.
