Foreign Investment to help the underprivileged
Much of the talk going about on foreign investment has on how will it benefit the poor of this country. While i’ve been giving reasons based on the ancillary benefits to the labour and tradesmen of this country, a lot of people still dont see value in that.
Today i read news that Oman, one of the friendly gulf countries with entirely too much money if you dont know, is looking towards setting up low-cost housing for the people of Karachi, specifically near the northern bypass and adjacent areas. Now thats one foreign investment which will be towards helping the poor.
electricity charges increased 10 %(coz wapada is incurring loss of 97 billion) … such unpredictable environment discourages investors… foreign investor prefers places where ever there is continuity of policies unlike here…
Low Cost housing. By whose definition? Don’t hold your breath on this one. In the end it may just turn out to be everything but accessible by the poor.
State bank to change color of Rs 20,000 and Rs 5000 notes…
bigger the dinomination of currency notes easier it is for corrupt officials to carry bribe money..
