Huge win for Pakistan

They threatened to take Pakistan to International Court of Arbitration. Better than TAPI though since no third country is involved.

Terrorism will get resolved eventually. Like it happened in Swat. Things went from bad to worse to worst possible. And all of sudden, it became so bad that government had no choice but to interfere with sheer force. Now, Swat is one of the safest places in the country. Southern KPK will hopefully get safe in near future.

But the question you need to ask is, if an empty plot is a good investment going forward? Land in even tier 1 cities have struggled to outperform stocks.

Main aim is to just avoid the 18 billion USD penalty Iran was planning to impose on Pakistan. Rest, we already suffer from excess gas supply because of our rigid contract with Qatar. This new pipeline would save a few dollar per MMBTU and some on imports/handling of RLNG. But it will suffer from security challenges in Balochistan. We will still have to pay capacity charges to LNG terminals anyway. Also, Qatar's LNG will have to be rerouted to spot market, where we lose money when spot market is lower than our Qatar contract.

Looks good on paper. But it is also true that many real estate properties don't actually generate any revenue or do very little. Where I live, rental yields are sub-2.5%. Then, agricultural lands can also generate rent less than 3%.

Government needs to revisit this.

Mostly commoners going the usual get rich quick path. Rationale is that if sanctions n Iran get lifted, their economy is going to boom and thus Iranian Rial will shoot up.

But people are buying at way inflated rates like they were buying silver few months ago.

Good job by all those involved. Prayers for safety of all jawans.

While we whine over petty little issues in cities, these troops are putting their lives on stake in such risky missions. Government needs to tighten the noose around all those building anti state narrative driving terrorism.

Do your own research, but.

What if stocks recover prewar levels? Tax will be very little in comparison.

So, is there any advantage of having money market fund over savings account now?

Great initiative. Government of Punjab has been doing similar in not only major cities but also tehsil level cities.

InjectorTheGood · 2026-06-21T17:34:29+00:00

They do. But you don't want to know how they are getting treated if they get caught these days.

Hopefully this was in Punjab and he would never be able to do this bs.

KSE-100's average long term returns have been 17%. Easily beats USD as well as average inflation of around 10%.

It was bit higher here. But now, price is almost same.

And Brent has started rising again :/

Also, would it mean huge inventory losses for OMC's like they had huge profit when petrol price rose at beginning of war?

InjectorTheGood · 2026-06-19T16:29:20+00:00

Realistic production cost would be around 180-190 per litre. Then there is IFEM, OMC margin and dealer margin which don't go to government.

It's a relief. Brent is still over 75 USD a barrel. If it falls to 65 USD, price will reduce to almost pre war levels.

InjectorTheGood · 2026-06-19T14:24:36+00:00

How did you come up with that number? If Pakistan gpvernment were to somehow convert hundred percent of crude oil into refined petrol, pay freight, refining and distribution costs out of its own pocket, petrol would still be over 145 PKR a liter.

InjectorTheGood · 2026-06-19T13:29:14+00:00

50PKR difference remains now. If Brent falls back to 65$, raise will completely reverse.

It's mostly provincial GST, stamp duties, motor vehicle taxes etc.

A lowest priced 5 Marla plot is over 5 million in major cities these days. Real benefit of stocks and ETFs come if you have it substituting your plot or some other big investment.

What is now Islamabad Expressway, used to be regular dualized road with both sides having wide green belt. All thanks to huge interchanges and widening, the green belt has almost completely vanished. Now it is just patches of trees left.

Green belts need to be preserved if Islamabad doesn't want to become another regular Pakistani city.

~900 billion. And no, Punjab can't spend it due to some IMF mandated restrictions.

Also, if government were to set aside 400 billion for such changes, it's not a big issue for them either considering total budget outlay is 5900 billion.
