An initiative from my side to highlight all the praise worthy developmental works in Pakistan related to the economy, society, sports, healthcare, infrastructure etc.

Requesting all locals to give their valuable inputs from time to time.

By 2050, Pakistan is projected to become the 4th biggest country in the world in terms of population with an economy of around 3-3 trillion USD ranking between top 15-20 countries in the world. Assuming Pakistanis are able to resolve their political issues at present and usher in much needed economic reforms, they can really turn things around rapidly. It is a very resourceful country full of talented and hard working people. Abroad also Pakistanis have a sizeable presence which will prove to be beneficial to them in the long term wrt political ties with various nations as 2nd, 3rd generation Pakistanis join the mainstream.

Nothing comes easy however and Pakistanis must display remarkable courage, honesty, integrity, nationalism to bring a positive change to our their motherland on the path of prosperity.

Wishing Pakistan, the nation, the very best.

Pakistan has seen positive developments across various sectors, including economic reforms, infrastructure growth through projects like CPEC, and a thriving startup ecosystem attracting foreign investments. The energy sector is improving with renewable projects, and digital transformation is accelerating through increased internet access and e-governance initiatives. Education and healthcare are progressing, with telemedicine and edtech innovations, while youth and women’s empowerment programs are gaining momentum. Environmental projects like the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami and tourism revival further add to the country’s growth. Additionally, property investment has become an attractive avenue, with increased urbanization, development in major cities, and incentives for overseas investors fueling real estate growth.
 
Only whilst it fulfills his agenda. Dont pin your hopes on him or anyone

Maybe I have a propaganda but you have this platform now to post all the good things happening in Pakistan. I will be most happy if you can take the lead.
 
Good initiative Bhaijaan. However not much participation from the bright and politically mature voices so far. Let me throw a biskut….

Modi has done a lot more development for India in the last 10 yrs than Pak in the last 77 yrs.

This will bring in the crowd. Thank me later.
 
I know many posters will not accept this, but the current government is good for Pakistan in long term. Pakistan as a country depends heavily on its army. And any country in peaceful existence, even if subservient, with army will provide stability. Believe me when i say that political stability is much more important than clean government. South Korea, Singapore, China, Japan, India none are known for clean governments, there are always several corruptions, incompetencies etc. But they all have provided relative political stability, which has allowed their citizens to live and thrive. Pak will similarly benefit if they can get any this government or any other government to stay stable for couple of decades.
 
One of good news is that Saazgar a local manufacturer is producing loader rickshaws in country which are getting highly popular and are wiping out the cart type vehicles Suzuki Ravi and Bolan as evident by latest developments.

These loader rickshaws are priced at Rs.350,000-450,000 and their fares are cheaper than Suzuki pickup.

Good for Modi and good for Indians.

There is NO hope for Pakistan. That died the day the army was let loose and now the mullahs.
We are well aware of the condition of Pakistan and have no illusions of where it will end up
 
I for one sincerely hope Pakistan make strides in economics development. That's the only way out and also helps India tremendously.

Well being of Pakistan is of India's interest. The more developed a nation, the less radical elements in that society.

How would you like it if India was a military dictatorship where people had no power or say in how country was being run and the military establishment was not only corrupt but also sabotaged the country’s sovereignty and economy for their personal benefit?

Photos would be nice bro.
Good that local manufacturers are competing

I wouldn't want military dictatorships neither for india or other countries. But if that is the only option available, and if the government is internationally accepted and providing political stability to improve people lives I will live with it. That is the reason I quoted countries with varying levels of democracy. China does perfectly fine with dictatorship and has millions out of poverty. Korea has had everything and still has done great. Japan has had various corrupt governments. Both SL and BD have had corrupt, military and everything in between and have done better than Pak. And then there is India which again has had corrupt and incompetent governments for a long time. But all of them have a common thing that is the political stability that whatever form of government they had brought to the country. Only with political stability countries can move forward. It allows both citizens and foreigners to invest and grow income and wealth.

This 100%. Very few Indians want destruction of Pakistan as that is not in best interests of anyone in the subcontinent. A economically strong Pakistan and linked to India and other countries in the region will make it possible for everyone to raise

You make no sense. Pakistan has been ruled over by military establishment for over 70 years. Where has this gotten us? Pakistan remains one of the poorest countries in the world with a rich army. Where people off themselves for not being able to pay their bills. The country is good only for the rich elite which is 0.01% of the total population.

Pakistan was doing well and was ahead of most countries in the subcontinent? they were ahead of india as early as first decade of this century. India pulled ahead due to all the reforms and generally better governance, whereas Pak has been having political instability for close to a decade now. have we forgotten all the political vindictiveness where most opposition leaders were jailed under IK, roadblocks, perpetual riots and protests, etc? yeah, that kind of instability will create chaos and pull down a country. Even now, just put any government in power for 20 years and Pak will do fine.
 
The second Test so far proves that its all selection of nonperformers like Babar and Shaheen. Talent is always there. Its only a matter of right people at the political helm to Make Pakistan Great Again. (y)
 
Optimism about Pakistan’s direction has doubled: Ipsos survey

Optimism about country’s direction has nearly doubled in fourth quarter, as compared to third quarter, reaching its highest level in three years, with males and upper- and lower-income groups being most optimistic, claims Ipsos, a multinational market research and consulting firm that delivers information and understanding of society, markets and people, in its Consumer Confidence Index Survey.

The survey says economic concerns have significantly eased in 2024 with inflation dropping by 16 per cent as top worry among Pakistanis, marking its lowest in 3.5 years. In the survey, over 1,000 persons from the four provinces, Islamabad, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir were interviewed.

The report says that Pakistanis describing the country’s state as strong has quadrupled since September 2023. Meanwhile, those perceiving it as weak have steadily declined by 9pc from their peak in the same month. Optimism about local economic conditions has also seen a positive shift of 20pc in Q4, with one in five Pakistanis (19pc) expecting improvements within the next six months, highest in one year.

Since last quarter, Pakistan has surpassed Turkiye in rankings for the first time in two years a positive change (1.2 pts) in Global Consumer Confidence Index.

It claims that one in three Pakistanis believe that economic condition of the country is strong or moderate. Males, urbanites, higher educated and middle class seem more optimistic. Similarly, since the worst conditions in September 2023, Pakistanis have shifted their views by 6pc, moving from inability to comfortability in making household purchases.

Moreover, one in five Pakistanis expect improvements within the next six months with males and middle- and lower-income groups being more optimistic than the rich.

After a dip in third quarter, confidence among Pakistanis about future savings has rebounded in fourth quarter. However, confidence in the ability to make major purchases continues to decline, with only 4pc of Pakistanis feeling comfortable making major purchases in fourth quarter.

The report claims that confidence in job security continues to show stability since second quarter, retaining the highest point in over three years.
