Pakistan not to bow to IMF dictates: Rabbani

ISLAMABAD

CUSTOMS BULLETIN REPORT www.customsbulletin.com

enate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani said Pakistan was an independent state and would not bow before the dictates of International Monetary Fund (IMF) or any other international Kinancial institution. Referring to an IMF report, he said interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan on the part of IMF and other Kinancial institutions with

regard to distribution of powers under 18th Constitutional Amendment was worrisome. Addressing a seminar on “Fiscal Federalism “ organized by Senate of Pakistan and Forum of Federation here, he said the centrist mindset was creating hurdles in the way of smooth implementation of 18th amendment. He said as per bureaucracy, the government was supposed to constitute National Finance Commission (NFC) and not necessarily announce the award af-

ter every Kive years, which was against the Constitution. The Secretary Finance while taking chief secretaries of four provinces on board in a meeting had decided to present the upcoming budget without the NFC, he claimed. He said in the presence of parliament, the bureaucracy could not decide such matters. He said the government, at the behest of the World Bank, had drafted a bill to control and exercise inKluence over the matters related to the distribution of resources which was

against the spirit of Constitution and the 18th Amendment. He observed that a proper mechanism was laid down and the Council of Common Interests was strengthened as a parallel institution to the federal cabinet to manage the affairs between the Centre and the provinces and to ensure equal distribution of resources as per the spirit of Article 172 of the Constitution. He reiterated that strong provinces would guarantee a strong federation and there was a dire need to implement

18th Constitutional Amendment in letter and spirit to achieve the goal of a stronger, democratic and true federalist Pakistan. Speaking on the occasion, Secretary Senate Amjed Pervez Malik said the concept of fiscal federalism was not new as almost all the federal states had been practicing fiscal federalism in one form and the other. He said Pakistan was a federal country and distribution of resources had impact on income, development, backwardness and poverty.

ISLAMABAD M FAIZAN

www.customsbulletin.com pecial Assistant to Prime Minister on Revenue and Federal Minister Haroon Akhtar Khan has said the government is aiming for a 6 percent GDP growth this year on the basis of strong economic indicators, he said while talking to a delegation of Turkish investors and businessmen who as part of the Turkish-Pakistan Business Council met him at the FBR House. The minister said, “Our economy has done very well and we are aiming for 6 percent GDP growth this year as reflected by the low inflation rate which is below 4 percent and fiscal deficit which is around 5 percent.” He told the visiting delegation that Pakistan had gone through some rough times in the past facing the spread of terrorism mostly due to international problems, but the Pakistanis had proved to be a very resilient nation. “Five years ago the situation was not what it is today, he said, adding that the situation is very good now. He said that the Pakistani nation had proved to the world that it was a front line nation in the fight against terror. “We have made a lot of sacrifices. We had a slight political turmoil because of which stock market went down but it has come back again,” he said. Haroon Akhtar Khan said that he meets a number of businessmen, trade associations and chambers of commerce, including Pakistan Business Council and Overseas In-

The fast moving consumer goods are doing very well. That is the strength of our economy. Our international ratings have been improving consistently. Today is the right environment to come to Pakistan. He further told Turkish businessmen Pakistan had a population of 200 million people blessed with one of the largest proportion of younger people which as per statistics stood around 65 million

below the age bracket of 30. “This youth bulge is our strength and that is what we can use in the future. He conceded that Pakistan had to go through the industrialization route before aspiring to become a fully developed country. “We believe that we need a lot of jobs for the skilled as well as the unskilled labour. Our people go and work all over the world, even in the 50 degree temperature under the hot sun in most of the Gulf countries. They work 18 hours a day, live a very simple life and send back valuable money back home which also helps our economy. We are a resilient people, we are tough people, we work hard. Our labour as compared to many countries around us is also considerably cheap. The Minister apprised the delegation that the corporate tax rates in Pakistan had come down from 35% to 30% and the government was further reviewing them in the coming budget. However, there were many other advantages to reap for the foreign investors in Pakistan. “We have no inheritance tax, no gift tax, no wealth tax and almost negligible social security tax which is very small as a percentage of salaries. These are the advantages for the foreigners who can also own 100% of their company, can bring investment through their offshore concerns and can own properties here.” Haroon Akhtar Khan said Pakistan knew fully well that its future was in foreign investments and increase in exports. “But let me tell you every Pakistani businessman who goes abroad to do business comes back and the ultimate conclusion he makes is, that one makes more money in Pakistan.

EDITORIAL

Need to break monotony

new programme for capacity building of bureaucrats, a new government narrative and a new standard operating system are the need of the hour to put the country on the road of development. However, in a country like Pakistan where political system is unstable, corruption has been institutionalized and bureaucracy blindly follows red tap as an official policy, there is little hope that the country will make progress in the near future. Now the former State Bank governor Dr Ishrat Husain has expressed the same opinion which needs to be listened to carefully. Husain holds lack of institutional reforms responsible for Pakistan’s low economic growth since 1990 rather than external factors like security issues and terrorism. Pakistan has been achieving a constant rate of development since independence and it managed to grow over 6 percent on an average until 1990. Despite enduring two wars, dictatorships and US sanctions, the rate of development in the country remained higher than China and India. The country also faced many other challenges and suffered due to war in Afghanistan, lack of planning and shortage of funds, but despite losing East Pakistan in 1971, the growth rate of the country was significantly higher than many leading countries in the region. According to Husain, Pakistan’s economic growth remained within the top 10 countries of the world for decades and leading economists from around the world came to study our economic model. Currently there is a need to introduce institutional reforms to achieve a breakthrough in the economic affairs and break the monotony. Pakistan is hardly attaining a growth rate of 5.3 percent to its gross domestic product, but it is the clear that the potentials of the economy have not been fully utilized. Pakistan should have a minimum growth rate of 8 percent for a sustained period of time to meet the challenges. As a matter of fact, the country needs structural reforms in every sector of the economy. There is a need to bring revolutionary changes in the institutions to improve their functionality and launch capacity building programmes for the policymakers. However, the political leadership will have to adopt a new narrative to inculcate in the people that it means business. Unfortunately, all the government departments are strictly following the rules and regulations of the colonialists which need to be changes.

Irrational increase in oil prices T

LAHORE

DR AFTAB AFZAL

he oil prices dropped in the international market, including the US benchmark, marking the lowest settlement in a couple of months. Reports suggest the number of active US rigs drilling for oil rose this week but abrupt fall in prices in the international stock markets has contributed to losses in the oil business. Ironically, prices of petroleum products have been increased in Pakistan, thanks to unchecked actions by the government and inability of the opposition parties to take a stand. Earlier, the government

had depreciated the local currency without considering its consequences and now it has increased the prices of petrol and the related products to collect more revenues. According to economists, the economy of Pakistan is poised to face tough challenges in the second half of the current fiscal year. The country is heavily dependent on oil imports the prices of which are steadily on the rise at home, though dropping in the world markets. This added confusion in the already beleaguered economy as the oil prices were, somehow, kept stable in the country. Though the oil prices are expected to increase to $70 per barrel in

six months, the current situation did not make sense to increase its prices in the domestic market. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and a renowned international investment bank, JP Morgan, have expected an increase of $12 per barrel in the prices of international oil benchmark. An increase in oil prices in the international market brings windfall for the government as increase in prices gives it an excuse to enhance prices for its own benefit. On the other hand, dollar is weakening against major currencies of the world, but its value is steadily increasing in Pakistan, which adds more confusion to the na-

tional economy. Unfortunately, increase in the oil prices always left domino effects on the entire economy and induces cost-push inflation in the business and trade sectors. An increase in the oil prices not only enhances the cost of transportation but also the cost of production of the exportable items. The expensive fuel also leaves inflationary pressure in the banking sector. The uptick in oil prices also affects the import bill which widens the current account deficit. However, when oil prices are decreased, the government refuses to pass its benefits to the people. Import of oil has become a good business for the government.

Exports during organic winter season start more gradually

n the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, the harvest results for outdoor vegetables particularly compared to the previous season are fairly high across the line. It will therefore be challenging to sell all product groups properly. However, according to Mtoto Keijzer, owner of Bioport, organic growers can be distinctive with quality and storage this years. Mtoto’s company works with a permanent group of organic growers from the Netherlands

and Belgium. Bioport works directly from grower to customer, and the products are packed according to speciKications of the customer, and they also completely take care of transport. They provide services to de-burden both buyer and grower as much as possible. In the Kield of sales, Bioport is mostly active for wholesalers, industrial processors, vegetable pack companies and packers for supermarkets within the EU. –CB Report

ussia will export 47.2 million mt of grain in the 2017/18 marketing year, Russian logistics operator Rus Agro Trans said in a research note. Export volumes for July-January totalled 31.29 million mt, 66% of the total it has forecast for the marketing year and a 36% increase on the same stage last year. Wheat exports were up 39% year-on-year at 24.7 million mt, barley was twice as big at 3.84 million mt, and corn was down 7% at 2.79 million mt. The Kigures differ from the ministry of agriculture’s weekly updates which cite customs Kigures, which have total grain exports 5% lower than the RusAgroTrans Kigure.
