Re: Friends of Pakistan-A title not wanted!
Its rather simply where we went wrong. Its the economic polices of the past 20 years. We still focus on our agriculture as a main focus of exports, while everybody else has moved on to services. Our products do not comply with even basic SPS measures let along EU or US standards. Our main industries that get subsidies and benefits are linked to men and women in politics. Their industries are protected as Infant industries. While those that could be competitive are taxed highly. Our TV/Radio/Audio manufacturing sector is taxed at something like 70%.
You want progress. Do what Bhutto said. Ironic I am saying that but the man had it right. Fill the basic needs of the people work on issues that matter, not building new airports, building complex Export Promotion Zones.
