Bhai meray!
International investors are no fools.
They go for the place from where they can get the BEST product at the LOWEST price in the SHINIEST package available.
International investors have just one religion “money”, and one god “safety”.
So you combine the desires and FAITH of international investors and you get ranking of every darn country in the world.
And they pick the top 1 or 2 and that’s it.
Pakistan’s true capabilities are suited to serve the West. Our English speaking populace is smart enough to support the service and manufacturing industry of the West.
But Pakistani educated elite wants to sever the Arabs for one reason or the other. That would have been OK if Arabs had large enough service sector and manufacturing sector needs to send $60 billion to Pakistan. But they cannot.
So Pakistan is marooned to make $60 million instead.
In rough approximation.
Pakistan makes $60 million by providing services to the West.
Indians make $60 billion.
And
Chinese make $300 to $500 billion by providing services to the West.
So for us the real role model is China and Chinese companies. If we follow them, emulate them, imitate them, we too can make the money in the tune of $100 billion.
However we don’t want to work heard (and cheap) like Chinese do,
And that’s why we are stuck making $60 million form trade and $4 billion from begging loans and aid.
p.s. All the numbers above are for comparison purposes. Do google and you can find the exact figures.
