LOL, great things?? How naive… I bet you still believe in ‘Naya Pakistan’, ending corruption in 90 days!

And it is not for you to tell people to leave a country or not

The same Imran Khan who said he would rather die than take IMF loans - a direct quote!

He calls PPP finance policy worst in history…then he makes the PPP Finance Minister the PTI Finance Minister!

You can’t believe a word he says!

It is true that the persistent economic mess in the country is not the fault of this govt. Pakistani govts have been spending more than they have been collecting since forever. They have always borrowed and printed money to cover their deficit. They have always hoped that economic growth will bail them out. But economic growth has been hampered by structural flaws in the economy that no government has addressed. Too much regulation, price controls, subsidies, cronyism, unprofitable state owned companies. And yes, corruption too, but its scale is exaggerated too much. IMF programs have helped somewhat by restraining govt borrowings and urging some structural reform. But as soon as IMF programs are over all govts are back to their old ways.
The problem with this government is that it is also not doing anything different. It has not cut government spending. It is borrowing more and printing more money. Nor, it has made any serious stab at structural reforms (which can be politically costly in the short term). Still the same over-regulation, the same cronyism, the same price controls, the same subsidies and no privatization. This can’t go on forever.
