‘Imported products to become 40% more expensive in Pakistan’

[American Pakistani]

Astaghfirullah. Shame on previous rulers who did nothing to expand country's productivity. Even lentils are imported.

Matlab had hi kar di hai.

But people are equally responsible.

I read somewhere that Nestle were forced to buy milk powder from abroad in order to sustain the quality of their milk in Pakistan. Local suppliers habitually failed to meet Nestle quality standards.

It's nuts that they drink powdered milk. In the UK 99% of the milk sold is fresh milk that's been pasteurised. There's a good documentary on iplayer about it, called inside the factory. A huge amount of unemployed and people drink powdered milk.

Still not as shocking as imported daal. That's mind blowing.

Yeh, that is shocking.

We should be Pakistanis and only that. I used to support mqm until I found the reality, then pti. Now currently nobody.

Pakistan is a remittance economy that relies on exporting people. I read somewhere that the actual remittances into Pakistan from the millions of ex-pats is north of $40 billion ~ good chunk of it coming through hawala. Once these dollars come in all of Pakistan comes up with contrived ways to grab some. This about sums Pakistan's economy.

Well, in addition to remittances, there is also the export of raw materials and low-value added products thereof mainly by those who have a stranglehold on the means of production.

I don’t get why you guys are so complacent about these people things? Small price increases cause HUGE protests in India but 40% in your country and there is not even murmurs.

Billionaire bankers get rich shorting currencies:

What It Means to "Go Short" in the Forex Market

In all financial markets, including the Forex (short for Foreign Exchange), you "go short" by shorting an equity or a currency when you believe it will fall in value. With a stock, what you're doing is borrowing shares you don't actually own and agreeing to pay for those shares at some time in the future. If the shares fall in value from the time you execute the short sale until you close it out (by buying the shares at the later and lower price), you'll make a profit equal to the difference in the two values.




When you go short in the Forex the general idea is the same—you're betting that a currency will fall in value. If it does, you make money. The biggest difference between a short sale in the stock market and going short on the Forex is that currencies are always paired; every Forex transaction involves a long position in one currency, a bet that its value will rise, and a short position in the other currency, a bet that its value will fall.




How Short Selling Currency Works

When you “go short" on the Forex, you are simply placing a sell order on a currency pair. In Forex trading, all currency pairs have a base currency and a quote currency. The quote will usually look something like this: USD/JPY = 100.00. The U.S. Dollar (USD) is the base currency and the Japanese Yen (JPY) is the quote currency. This quote shows that one U.S. Dollar equals 100 Japanese Yen. When you place a short trade on this currency pair, you are going short on the USD Dollar and, as a result, simultaneously going long on the Japanese Yen.




The Basic Idea Behind Shorting on the Forex

It may sound complicated at first, but the underlying idea is straightforward: you would make this trade if you believed that at some future time, $1 U.S. was going to be worth less than 100.00 Japanese Yen.




Another difference between shorting in the stock market and on the Forex is that unlike the stock market, going short on the Forex is as simple as placing your order. There are no special rules or requirements for going short on a currency pair.




Understand the General Risk of Going Short

If you're thinking about going short on the Forex, you must keep risk in mind—in particular, the difference in risk between "going long" and "going short." If you were to go long on a currency, the worst case scenario (while still bad for your investment portfolio) would be watching the currency's value falling to zero.




But there is a limit to your loss in a long position as the value of a currency can't go lower than zero. If you're shorting a currency, on the other hand, you're betting that it will fall when, in fact, the value could rise and keep rising. Theoretically, there's no limit to how far the value could rise and, consequently, there's no limit to how much money you could lose.




Limiting Your Risk

One way of limiting your downside risk is to put in stop-loss or limit orders on your short. A stop loss order simply instructs your broker to close out your position if the currency you're shorting rises to a certain value, protecting you from further loss. A limit order, on the other hand, instructs your broker to close out your short when the currency you're shorting falls to a value you designate, thus locking in your profit and eliminating future risk.




One Last Word of Warning

The maximum upside on a short trade is 100%. Naturally, that sounds great, but the downside of a short trade is infinite. As explained earlier, a trader going short is profiting on a decline, and there is relatively limited scope for downside compared to the upside.




The FX market provides a good deal more flexibility for short-sellers and other markets, but it's still important to note that selling short still needs to be combined with good risk management.

The last section warns that the 'poor suffering' billionaire bankers who short rupees and liras only can make up to 100% if the currency goes Zimbabwe. If it only collapses by a 1/3 or 1/2, expect only 50% on your investment in selling currencies you don't own.

Short selling should be made criminal, it is something like usury and gambling combined, because it is not an investment, but a gamble for big returns if their pockets are deep enough. It is used to collapse any currency or commodity the banksters don't like.

The bankster and families have 1000 trillion USD to collapse any stock, currency, commodity or security. The goyim have no chance to wage a war against that. Making this worse than usury.

The fifth largest country in the world, and the 45th 'largest' economy. Says it all.

1. Masti. Awam is not as hard up as they like to make out.

2. For decades it hasn't mattered if you live or die. Our political class only care 6 months before an election. Our people forget everything for a good slogan.

3. I think a lot of people know its a mess of our own making. People accept we will face hardship to get out of it. I live in Britain and we've gone through the same for the last 10 years. People have tolerated BS for national interest.

The majority here are funded by remittances, or are abroad. Besides, Pakistanis are generally richer than Indians, don'tcha know.

Imported luxury products should be expensive in the first place which will give more room for local cheaper items.
