Pakistan government to withdraw subsidy on oil products

In one of my earlier posts I had written that government of Pakistan has refused to pass the benefit of decreasing oil prices to consumers. Now I have read that the government has decided to do away with all subsidies which it says it is giving on petrol and diesel due to which it was incurring heavy losses. It is said that under an IMF plan to support the economy of the country, all subsidies currently being given will be withdrawn by the end of April next year.

The other day Jang, a widely circulated Urdu daily from Pakistan, did an anaylysis on the prices of petroleum product and said that it was incorrect to say that government was giving any subsidy on petrol and diesel. The analysis showed that the government was buying oil at reduced prices from international market and selling it at increased rate. It also said that government was charging high surchage in the name of petroleum development levy and it was also charging sales tax which was unfare.

I think that keeping in view international rates, the prices of POL products in Pakistan must be reduced by at least 25 per cent. It is a tyranny to force people to pay extra amount of money.

World financial crisis

The world is passing through financial crisis. In United States, Lehman Brothers has filed for bankruptcy protection. The largest insurance company in world, AIG had to be rescued by the US government by giving $ 80bn. It was feared that AIG may not survive after the demise of Lehman Brothers which had suffered huge losses in mortgage. The two largest mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were also rescued by the US government by injecting money. There are speculations that Morgan Stanley and Washington Mutual may also be in difficulties.

The stock markets worldwide are jittery because of the prevailing situation. Russian government had to suspend trading in its main stock exchange in order to avoid sharp decrease in share prices. If more companies meet the same fate as Lehman Brothers, it is feared that the crisis will deepen. Obviously the US government cannot inject money in each company.

Stagnation in consumer banking sector in Pakistan

There was a boom in the conumer banking market in Pakistan a few months ago. Banks brought forth a number of consumer products in order to compete with one another. There was a sharp increase in credit card users in the country which saw a sharp increase within few years. Earlier a few foreign banks were issuing credit cards in the country, but almost every bank joined the bandwagon to capture its share of the market. Banks issued credit cards almost indiscriminately.

The hot item after credit cards was Auto loan. It was only because of easy availability of car financing facility from banks that the roads of big cities were inundated with cars of latest models. People misused personal loan facility to buy luxuries and satisfy their desires.

Now the honeymoon period is over. Consumer banking has come to a grinding halt. Most of the banks have stopped giving auto loans altogether and are buy in recovering the stuck up money. Consumer is finding it difficult to make payment not only because of unplanned future, but also because of increae of inflation in the country which reduced their buying power.

In their zeal to recover money, banks have practically employed thugs to pressurize customers. They have clear instructions from their employer to create a scene at the home and office of the customer in order to apply psychological pressure. In one incident a customer committed suicide when bank staff misbehaved with his family members.

The State Bank of Pakistan is doing nothing to improve the situation. It must step in to save peole and try to get some relief in the shape of reduced mark up rate and options to payback in easy installments. The government of Pakistan must also act to protect the honour of the people.

Pakistan government refuses to pass the benefit of lower oil prices to consumers

Oil prices are declining continuously. Prices have touched to $88 a barrel from $147 which is the lowest in the seven months. Whenever there is an increase in the international market the government of Pakistan is quick to pass on the burden to the consumer but whenever there is a decrease in the prices, the benefit is not passed on to the consumers and all sorts of excuses are brought forward to defend the decision.

Government should have reduced prices at least by 25 per cent which would have given immediate relief to almost segments of the society. It would also have resulted in lowering of food items and groceries whose prices are directly linked with oil prices. Pakistan government may fill its coffers by not giving relief to the people, but it will lose confidence of the people as well.

Mike Mullen arrives in Pakistan to defuse tension


Pak army Pakistan has made it clear to the United States that incursions into Pakistani territory by US forces will not be tolerated. It has been widely reported in international press that Pakistan Army stationed along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan have been given orders to retaliate any attempt by US forces to cross into Pakistani territory.


United States has launched several attacks in Pakistan through its unmanned drone plane which created problems for the newly formed government. The most significant statement came from none other than Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaque Pervez Kayani himself who said that no one will be allowed to conduct operation inside Pakistani territory.


Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, Admiral Mike Mullen has arrived in Pakistan to discuss the situation arising out of US attacks and to defuse tension between the two countries. Pakistan is the most important country in the US war against terror. I think that the US government should not create problems for the civilian government by taking unilateral steps.

Pakistan army ordered to open fire if US troops cross border again


The Pakistan Army has ordered its troops stationed along the border with Afghanistan to open fire on US troops if they cross border and come inside Pakistani territory. This is a significant development as it can aggravate the situation to a point which may destabilize the country.



We are always hearing the chorus of “do more” from the American side. Pakistan is already fighting a fierce battle with militants in the tribal areas. If the US forces cross into Pakistan it will generate a sympathy wave for the militants. It will also have an spillover affect in other parts of the country as well.



In seven years, United States with all its military might has not been able to gain victory in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now they want to hold Pakistan responsible for their failure. I think that US must provide financial as well as military assistance to Pakistan and coordinate with it if it wants to fight militancy in the tribal areas. It must also strengthen its position inside Afghanistan and try to bring peace in the country.
