terror,” he said while talking to Martin Kobler, Ambassador of Federal Republic of Germany to Pakistan. He said the peace and security prevailing in the country has already paid dividends with economy stabilizing and investors coming to Pakistan in a big way to beneLit from the investment opportunities and the favourable business climate. He welcomed the German investment in different sectors of Pakistan’s economy and appreciated the efforts of the Germany envoy for his efforts towards image-building of Pakistan.

Earlier, Martin Kobler briefed Haroon Akhtar Khan on the scope of German investment in Pakistan, particularly the smaller convenience stores set up across Pakistan which had Llourished quite well by registering double digit growth during the last two years.

He said Pakistan had also moved during the last six months from a “question-mark country” status to the “group of opportunities countries” in the eyes of potential German investors who were now looking at Pakistan as a potential market offering good returns on their investment.

Reaping benefits of CPEC

a

joint study of the Asian Development Bank, Department for International Development of the United Kingdom, Japan International Cooperation Agency and the World Bank has suggested the Pakistani government to take the required measures to reap enormous benefits of $60-billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor. The report says that investment in roads, railways and ports, under the corridor project, offers enormous potentials for the country not only to boost its economy and reduce poverty, but also take the benefits of the regional connectivity. The Web of Transport Corridors in South Asia report also calls upon the relevant stakeholders to undertake complementary measures to improve local conditions to manage and plug the financing gaps in a sustainable manner. The study advocates for involving local population in the way of the corridor, saying the new transport infrastructure should have to come with means for the people to take full advantages of the improved connectivity right from the beginning. The corridor project has the potential to connect regional markets, create and increase demand for locally manufactured products and boost economy. The report came at a time when South Asia is passing through a critical period of its history where tension is high but political will to enhance cooperation among the regional countries is absent. The world’s largest poor population lives in India and it is on the course of collision rather than convergence. Extremist elements have grabbed the government in India which has spoiled peace which is necessary for development of the regional economies. The report mentions that Asia is becoming an engine of growth and important driver of the global economic development with various corridor projects offering opportunities of collaboration. The benefits of investment in the corridor projects could only be reaped when economies are able to create export surpluses and spread the benefits of foreign investment fairly among the local population. The proposed Khyber Pass Economic Corridor would not only help consolidate regional connectivity but will also help boost cross border trade and local economic activities.

Loss of macroeconomic stability A

LAHORE

DR afTaB afZaL

www.customstoday.com

ccording to analysts, the recent depreciation of Pakistani rupee has brought the economy to its knees as the macroeconomic stability the country achieved during the last four and half years have lost. The economy has been reverted to the position it had in 2013 with additional loans of $45 billion. The desire of economic recovery has lost somewhere in the middle of political chaos and economic disturbances during the tenure of the Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz. The policymakers of this country not only lack ability to

look into the future prospects of the economy, but also lack capacity to face challenging of the modern economic world. The analysts firmly believe the government allowed the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee only to comply with the conditionalities of the International Monetary Fund and qualify itself for a fresh bailout package to avoid a possible default. During the last four and half years, the burden of loans has increased from $45 billion to $90 billion which is expected to cross $100 billion in the next few years. In the absence of a mechanism of accountability, the political leadership, bureaucracy and all others who matter freely work

on their will to spoil the broth.

The government has been explaining for the last couple of months that it would not seek another bailout package from the IMF and Adviser to PM on Finance Miftah Ismail, has also dispelled the impression that the government is seeking any IMF assistance. However, the speed with which the foreign exchange reserves are depleting, trade deficit are on the rise and industry is struggling to survive, the government is expected to take up the issue of new IMF financing in April during World Bank-IMF spring meetings in Washington for a makeshift remedy. The policymakers always look at one side of the sit-

uation and ignore the other, and leave the arena by adding more troubles to the economy. Only a few months had been left for the mandate of the current government and there was no need to take suicidal step such as devaluation of rupee. However, the depreciation of rupee will have long standing effects on the overall economy and they are the people who would suffer shocks and aftershocks of the emerging situation. Still there is time for the government to reverse the decision of the depreciation of the rupee and stabilize the economy not on the basis of loans and grants, but stimulation of the industrial and agriculture sectors growth.

by Linancial market reforms to drive investments into clean technology, Macron told a European Commission conference on sustainable Linance in Brussels. With its Emissions Trading Scheme, Europe has created the world’s largest carbon market but the price of CO2 allowances is currently too low to drive investments into clean technologies.

by setting a minimum price of carbon of €44 a tonne on its domestic market this year, a price Lloor that will be raised to €84 a tonne effective from 2022. “But it won’t be sufLicient,” the French President said, calling for more determined European action. “This is why at the European level we need a carbon price Lloor,” Macron stressed, saying “it is the only way” to reach Europe’s long-term objective of becoming carbon neutral. –CB Report

“For hot-selling consumer products in the market, including medicine, especially anti-cancer drugs urgently needed by the people, we will lower import tariffs to a relatively large extent, and work hard to reach zero tariff for anti-cancer drugs,” Li said Tuesday at a press conference at the close of the annual National People’s Congress in Beijing.

Iraq mulls Basrah Medium oil exports raq is studying plans to export a new Basrah Medium crude grade to address quality concerns about its light and heavier grades but faces infrastructure constraints, oil industry sources said.

Trading sources said such a move was unlikely to happen this year as a new pipeline and other infrastructure had to be built. Iraq, which sells more than half of its oil to Asia, decided to split its supply into two grades in 2015 in a bid to resolve quality issues. It offered Basrah Heavy produced from southern oilLields separately from its traditional Basrah Light crude.

The shift by Iraq’s state-oil marketer SOMO was widely supported by crude buyers who until then had to deal with variations in the quality of a blend of Basrah Light with heavier, high-sulphur content oil produced from newer Lields. Selling Basrah Heavy and Basrah Light separately increased buyers’ conLidence in quality, and cut the time ships spent waiting for different crudes to reach terminals and that had added to costs.

But the sources said Basrah Light was itself a blended grade using crude from different oilLields, which has also led to varying qualities in different cargoes. –CB Report
