PSXTalk

It may be wiser to stay out of the PSX for now. With the Iran Israel conflict and rising clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, outcome is uncertain. Both have the potential to significantly impact Pakistan’s economy.

One of the IPPs was owned by Shehbaz Sharif’s son, and several others were linked to close allies of the PDM, you can imagine who these contracts ended up favoring.

50 IPPs renegotiated Returns reduced (15% usd to 12%) Dollar exposure capped at 148. Rs770bn long term relief PTI didn’t create the crisis but only party tried fixing it.

Sadly not much can be said but increasing taxes on petrol and diesel and importing expensive rlng are horrible decisions . But sadly this govt can't be even questioned for stupidity

This catastrophe of IPPs was created by PMLN. It's poetic justice that they will be the one getting the full blowback of it. They already didn't get votes even in Lahore. I will be surprised if they get even 10 seats in a free election now. But unfortunately they have realized you don't actually need to get votes to rule if you have talent.

The IPPs scam is one of the biggest scams in history of Pakistan. And it is not just one scam , it's a multi layer scam. Sometimes a scam within a scam. PMLN & PPP are directly responsible. Technical scams: ~ Take or pay contracts [Pakistan pays even when no electricity is generated] ~ Expensive electricity (economic hitman job) ~ Excess electricity but no transmission lines How it works: Step 1: Sign contracts. Pakistanis pay capacity payments, Even if plant gives 0 power. Step 2: Generate expensive electricity on purpose. Destroys industry. Classic hitman job. Step 3: Build way more electricity than transmission can handle. Result: → If you can now generate cheap electricity (e.g solar) ? You won't use these expensive plants. Still pay. → Can't transmit? Useless project. Still pay. → Generate electricity that's too expensive? Destroys your own country. Direct scams: Installed capacity is a lie. For example, If "100MW" plant actually generates 20MW. But we pay for 100MW. Project costs overvalued → guaranteed returns calculated on inflated numbers. More money for them. Scam within a scam: Sahiwal coal plant • Built far from port & far from local coal reserves • Overvalued project cost • Produces super expensive electricity • Then they used LOW grade coal but charged for HIGH grade coal Pakistanis are paying billions( gov take loans on interest to pay for this scam & interest payments are also increasing with time & we have to take more loans to pay previous loans. We are doomed ) I wish Nawaz Sharif, PMLN & PPP pay for these crimes. ( This is my assessment/analysis of this scam you can share your opinion on this issue, can correct me or add to it )

Given the trump drama in Strait of Hormuz, stick to refineries at PSX.

دو روپے اضافے پر ٹسوے بہانے والوں کو اب ایسی قبض ہوئی ہے کہ 26 روپے اضافے پر بھی نہیں بولتے

Per Capita GDP 2026 (IMF): Bangladesh $2,910; India $2,810; Pakistan $1,700 (2025) In 1980, Bangladesh was at roughly $311 and Pakistan $479. Pakistan was about 50% richer. Today, Bangladesh is closer to 70% richer. Convergence did occur, just in the wrong direction. Bangladesh’s per capita income now sits not only above Pakistan’s, but closer to India’s, an outcome few would have forecast in the 1980s. What appears to be a modest gap in levels is, in reality, a large gap in compounding: three decades of steadier policy easily trump one decade of episodic reform. If development is about institutions rather than endowments, this is less a puzzle than a verdict. @WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD/IND/CHN/BLZ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">imf.org/external/datam…

Pakistan created two bombs. The nuclear and the IPP 💣. The 2nd one is tikcing for explosion because they cant harness the solor expansion. PMLN is forcing us to eat grass again for their own follies.

@GhostCursor @WaqarEY Bhasha: Idea (1980s) → Approved 2006 (Pervez Musharraf ) → Land 2010–17 (PDM) → Construction 2020 (Imran Khan) Dasu: Approved 2014 (N) → Land 2014–17 → Construction 2017 (N) Mohmand: Approved 2018 (PTI) → Construction 2019 (PTI)

@psxTalk713 @WaqarEY You are wrong. x.com/i/status/20476…

Dams take so much time that even last 2 dictators decided not to start them A political loss

@Aries_6_6_6 @WaqarEY Bhasha: Idea (1980s) → Approved 2006 (Pervez Musharraf ) → Land 2010–17 (PDM) → Construction 2020 (Imran Khan) Dasu: Approved 2014 (N) → Land 2014–17 → Construction 2017 (N) Mohmand: Approved 2018 (PTI) → Construction 2019 (PTI)

@psxTalk713 @WaqarEY These dams were a work-in-progress long before Imran came into the picture.

Pakistan’s economic crisis wasn’t accidental; it was a criminal miscalcualtion done by PMLN. The fiscal data proves that one of the biggest hidden drivers of devasted economy are the IPPs (Independent Power Producers). There is a reason the contracts are secret! Getting down the rabbit hole in the thread! 🧵 Much of Slides and data from @IPS_1979 . @MaryamNSharif you are not reading this.

Complete bullshit . Every overseas Pakistani can easily invest in psx via rda . One of the best financial product of Pakistan .

🚨 When the no-confidence motion against 🇵🇰 Imran Khan came, there was no risk of default, the exchange rate was Rs 175, the State Bank had reserves of Rs 16 billion. - Muhammad Zubair.

@Saad_H_Janjua 😂

If escalation continues, the only country at gain is #Pakistan. When someone fights, we make money.

@Pakistanomy Spending money is easy, earning is not. She’s doing what a Nazim does. Punjab’s rural economy is dead.

@ranjha001 @AwaisY_ N - 2016 Auto Policy PTI - 2019 ev Policy
