Apart from confronting bellicose and hostile neighbors, Pakistan has to face multiple internal challenges and shortcomings as well and the appalling situation of the country’s economy, perhaps, put forth the unfavorable picture when one just reviews the SBP’s statistics about inflation whether it is SPI, WPI or CPI inflation on the month-on-month basis or year-on-year basis.
The overall grim picture of the economy can’t be curtailed with the improvement in trade data (improving exports and reducing the overall imports) in the first month of the current fiscal year in comparison to the July 2018 indicators.
Putting all precariousness on the back front advisor to the prime minister for commerce, textile, industries and production, and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood when asked by Dawn about the trade options for Pakistan in case the country is blacklisted by Financial Action Task Force (FATF) replied that the government is keenly monitoring the efforts by all concerned departments to ensure the compliance to the terms of credibility and transparency in transactions.
