Well said Mr.Miftah. His opinion and suggestions make sense. Government should curtail its expenses. Rulers and bureaucrats should also practice frugality and simplicity. No justification o increase salaries and perks of corrupt bureaucrats. Rulers and bureaucrats should be cut to size and free electricity, free gas, free petrol etc.should stopped. Everyone is paying indirect taxes in Pakistan.

Very informative podcast.Before the 2024 general elections, many scholars and professionals wrote in various newspapers, including Dawn, about the slogans of political parties. They noted that the slogans of almost all mainstream political parties were similar. However, the methods for implementing these measures were largely absent. What was most interesting about this podcast was that, apart from clearly pointing out the issues facing Pakistan, Miftah Ismail provided viable solutions and remedies for every sector.
After listening to Miftah Ismail and Shahid khaqan, I am seriously considering voting for their party because they do know what our core problems are and what needs to be done rather that pti, ppp,pmln who are just fighting for the throne of becoming pm.

Since Miftah Ismail and Shabbar Zaidi both are enough wealthy persons and both are focussing on education of poors, I would recommend them to take initiative themselves at first end to prove the nation that they will deliver if they are elected.
This is why a genuine economist can give a bearable budget.
Our respectable Miftah Ismail sir It is requested to you if you come to power again, for God sake, do something good for this country and and for us who are abandoned and betrayed by the governments and political parties again and again.

I was watching a podcast where former FBR minister Shabbar Zaidi mentioned that General Bajwa asked him not to impose taxes on properties because many of his associates are in the property business. It's disappointing to see how Bajwa overlooked the plight of poor people, who bear the burden of this non-taxable or least-taxable property income. This clearly illustrates why the country is suffering. sare decision makers hi nikamme hain pakistan ke

It's very simple the money Pakistani governments and army borrow from the IMF most of which returns to international swiss accounts. The people of Pakistan have to pay that money back with interest by means of extremely high electricity and fuel prices also making the cost of basic neccessities sky rocketting. But people like this man will complicate things just to avoid telling the truth to keep you in the loop and keep the blame on everything else other than their own incompitence.

IMF loans move the wealth to the rich who then take ot out of the country. The debts is left for the country which is extracted from the poor.

Amazing Podcast ❤
Even a sharp mind like MI too is scared of the army. Being critical of govt expense increase is valid, but does anyone dare to mention the extravagance of the defense budget.
I like Miftah, he’s a good honest and sensible politician one of the few ones. But privatisation can not be the solution for every single problem. Education and basic utilities are a necessity for every citizen. Private industry is only interested in profit. There will be no incentive to invest in badly run industries. Privateers will bleed them dry and then walk away with their profits. These government run entities need to weed out the incompetent box tickers who are only interested in holding onto their job for life and not running their departments correctly. If you run a nationalised industry like a private corporation where policies that are actually good for the industry instead of the people with a vested interest, where poor management gets you fired instead of a slap on the wrists there is no reason it won’t succeed
He has been part of the politics for a long time. I don't understand why he didn't share thoughts with his party? If he wasn't listened he should have separated his way from that party.
Brilliant program
China share in electricity production is less than 20%.Nawaz Shareef family has share 27% . Zardari family has share 18%. Muslim League and PPP rich people and establishment have 25% share. The rest shares are from Qatri shaikh. Like Mansha is getting payment for capacity charge. Mufta will not speak about the people getting capacity charge.
Thanks raftar .very good podcast

AA. Please make a video on whether Pakistan should declare default in light of the following arguments: 1) Our interest payments on debt this year will be 9000 Billion Rs and are thus more than 50 percent of our federal budget. This is unsustainable because we don't have enough left for other segments. For comparison, this amount is almost double the entire provinicial budget of Punjab and around 4 times our defence budget. 2) In order to pay this massive debt interest, the masses are beimg forced to pay colossal taxes which is making the lives of everyone miserable We would also like to know what the actual impact of default will be. Will our debts be written off? Will be able to import necessities like petrol, medicines etc? What other consequences will there be for the country? Thank you so much!
Also foreign investors are far and few in ipps. It's local financiers that setup plants. Price should be negotiated in pkr

His suggestions absolutely make sense lekn yeh sb suggestions Govt. se bahar reh k farmae jatay hain. Govt. mein aatay hi yeh log woh rehte hi nhi hain. PDM 1.0 mein toh khushi khushi aa k fuel prices aur taxes barhate thay, this same individual.

Question is that paying interests of coal plants in CPEC and no infrastructure for transmission of the power produced makes the project unviable turning into huge losses ultimately assets going into the hands of financer. In this case coal plant itself having depreciating value , the country is left with damaged huge losses. Against such costly coal plants if Dam would have been built then it would have multiple uses and ever lasting infrastructure.

Where a minute! If Mr. Miftah were to continue as finance minister ---- The Memon Cult would raise the Dollar up to 400+. Now, he has been thrown out of the position disgracefully --- So, he is talking like this. We remember Mr. Miftah; the Dollar was 180 around when you took the charge --- And when you were ousted from the office, it was nearly 250 around and the rest was "Mr. Samdhi" did and take the flight to 330+. In short, the flight of dollars from 180 to 330+ was a gamble of different banks, money exchange, and businessmen alliances.
Great man Mifta Ismail
One more interview with Sir Miftah Ismail related to electricity issues
Ismail Saab Mosley right,
Wow wow good job Islamic republic of Pakistan.
The reason why the power plant is in Sahiwal is because it's our money, and if in the future Punjab has to separate, we cannot be left with nothing in hand when our money has previously been misused to build dams in KPK, a province that rarely pays its electricity bills. Punjab is responsible for 54% remittances and exports. The next biggest contributor is Karachi. Rest of Pakistan has negligible contribution.
RAFTAAR IS A SCAM! Their videos show soo many ads and most of them keep playing until you dont skip them. I listen their podcasts with my phone in pocket and every 2 minutes I have to take out my phone to skip these ads. I also listen to podcasts on other channels, there are barely 5-6 ads in whole video but Raftaars videos are flodded with extremely long ads.
