@psyah- Lol, my economics and finance aren’t my strong points. I have to disagree the Finance Minister can simply try to create the environment, it’s up to the existing businesses to show how successful the market can be. Take for example Mobilink (subsidiary of the Egyptian Orascom) the first mover in the Pakistani Telecommunication market and it now has encouraged the like of Telenor (Norwegian) Ufone (PTA and UAE’s Eisalat) and Zong (Chinese). Giving the Pakistani consumer, not only choice but low prices and the creation of jobs, all because Mobilink showed them how it’s done.
And I’m sure if those billionaires wanted they could make a big difference but that’s if they wanted and this is down to an individuals choice and not something anyone else can influence.
@hareem01- Ok I agree many people send money back to their ownrelatives, but isn’t that a case of teach a man to fish? How long can the remittances last? What are the chances of third generation British Asians sending money back home to distant relatives? Why not help the country stand on its own two feet?
As far as other people going back to the UK, I can’t comment. But the six months I spent in Pakistan as a child I learned more there than anytime in my junior school in the UK and speaking with and reading the work of people who attended universities like SZABIST and LUMS, I really think it’s unfair to paint all the education in Pakistan with the same brush.
