I read your column in Daily Jang of 29th April 08.

I really appreciated your efforts and applauded your research work on the facts and figures of pakistan economy. You are doing a remarkable job by highlighting future economic risks and recommending the best possible ways outs. It is also the fact and we all witnessing that your efforts and are not recognize with the government bureaucracy and it is deliberate because there not sincere with the nation, there only sincerity with their own. Even new government is not willing to take positive steps which is very harsh. Inflation is on high and increasing day by day especially on food and house hold items. Utilities are going sky high which is becoming unaffordable for even middle class. It is also increasing cost of production which cut down over products from export market.

I need your comment on few suggestions which I think should take into account by the new government.

1. Wealth Tax should be imposed again and money generated from that should be used as subsidy on oil prices. because rich become richer and they should pay for country.

2. We have large costal line which is rich of sea food. Govt should build new fish harbors to increase sea food exports.

3. Banned on import of luxury and high consuming Vehicles to cut fuel consumption and even impose heavy motor vehicle tax so that use of these vehicle can be reduce or otherwise generate revenue.

4. Government use stock exchanges to raise money for power projects financing.

5. Government should banned export of basic food items for short term to cope up the food shortage situation and take steps in longer run to enhance crop of basic commodities.

6. Government provide incentives to dairy, poultry and fish farming to increase food productivity.

7. The democracy dividend of US 1.5 billion which is announced by US Government, should be used for debt servicing.

8. Government should reduced the quota of Fuel and electricity consumption of high rank government officers to overcome the shortage of both utilities.

9. Government should provide incentive and encourage of sea water desalination plants which also can generate power.

10. Government force leading stock brokers who made money by butchering small investors that should take part in social sector and establish hospitals and schools.

11. Government try to recruit pakistani IT professional with international IT firms so that can be part of them and outsource the IT projects to Pakistan as Indian professional doing. Without that we cannot increase our software exports.

If you feel above mentioned recommendation have weightage in any account then kindly forward through your column for whatever medium you feel convenient

ALLAH may bless you and give courage to serve the nation.
