Learning multiple languages is like a treasure, because it optimizes EQ & interpersonal skills. More languages she learns, more avenues of success she will witness vs. someone with high IQ but uni or bi-lingual. We need to normalize it atleast for the betterment of next gen.

True, In addition to this, Pakistani economists are less trained in "Corporate Economics", this gap is then fulfilled by CAs, MBAs & other finance professionals. In my opinion, "Corporate Economics" has greater stakes in "policy-making" as compared to "Development Economics".

Our cost of "inefficiency" & "incompetency" can now be measured in USD billions. This is the example of just "one" institution.

Our depts. have fantasy to operate in silos, ultimately costing the "businesses". It is good that, SIFC is mandated to facilitate the local-investments & to oversee the synergy among depts. "Domestic-Investor's situation" is the ONLY credible benchmark for any "Foreign-Investor".

A brilliant account on Gulf SWFs & their trajectory of building portfolios. We finally realized to tap this opportunity & have erected SIFC for this purpose. Earlier billion-dollar conglomerates (like Almarai) failed to get allocation of land & some suffered in the hands of depts

"The government & trade associations must focus on developing & improving technical capacities of the producers and human resources involved in this sector." rightly says Dr. Aadil Nakhoda A critical success factor - Our trade associations must strategize for the long-term.

Actually he had offered Eid prayers along with MBS + Royal family members+ Imams of Haram in Masjid Al Haram, so this way he got opportunity to be there and exchange Eid greetings.

Since he has assumed his charge, one thing I liked is his clear-communication, he convinces that when the solution is known then why to close our eyes & to delay & repeat the loop. Best wishes for his efforts.

100% Agreed General sb. Leg-pulling this and that is just wasting our time. All our major parties have now got the command in their respective provinces. We have to be objective in doing service-delivery & public-benefit analyses irrespective of our biases.
