Thanks for sharing, This is good, still very high level though. policies are def a step in the right direction. Next come plans, including likelihood of something happening or not, kind of like a monte carlo simulation of all these factors and their net impact. Time horizon is important of course.
As far as the taxation goes, I think a carrot and stick approach is needed. Imran has not addressed the shortfall in taxation collection and what he would do in terms of better processes to collect taxes.
The sentiment that if people trust the govt, they will start paying taxes is a flawed one. People will avoid paying taxes as much as possible, and that is why enforcement, audit and penalties must be addressed.
As far as the debt arbitration for previous loans, is there a precedence for this? Meaning would major development banks be open to this idea or not?
for labour intensive projects, are there projects that PTI has in mind? hopefully these are labour intensive projects which have a high ROI, and are well thought out, these could be infrastructure type projetcs, better mass transit system, schools, hospitals, vocational training facilities etc.
