Watch discussions on why businesses stay small, how social protection can trap the poor, and what a genuine economic reset requires. • Deep dives into Pakistan’s 150-year economic structure, dynastic politics, regulatory sludge, and the path from crisis management to sustained growth. • Subscribe to Haque Economics for regular SIA Conversations and vlogs that put reform, productivity, markets, and better governance at the center of the national debate youtube.com/@sialytics?si=65…

Pakistan’s crisis isn’t economic — it’s systemic. For decades, we’ve kept running to the IMF to treat symptoms while refusing to cure the disease: broken institutions, distorted incentives, elite capture, and a state that suffocates its own economy. In the latest episode of SIA Conversations, Dr Nadeem Ul Haque brings together — Salman Shah, Asad Ali Shah, and Ali Salman — for one of the most unfiltered and hard-hitting discussions on the latest Governance & Corruption Diagnostic Assessment on Pakistan. This isn’t an IMF-bashing session. This is a forensic dissection of why Pakistan keeps collapsing — and what it will take to break the cycle, while discussing the latest IMF GCDA on Pakistan. youtu.be/MVM7xS9hY5U?si=Pj-k…

The energy problem has slowed down our progress for 40 years. Why? Can’t we solve it. Please follow this series and help fix it. Ask your ministers and MNAs why they can’t solve it? Why do we eject them if not to solve that problems. Follow good series. We will bring you the analysis sbc solutions.
Replying to @nadeemhaque
@nadeemhaque talks to four specialists on the systemic challenges plaguing Pakistan’s energy sector, namely soaring energy costs, crippling circular debt, weak planning, high fuel import dependence, and poor data coordination, in the new #SIAconversations youtu.be/gIOszgEv6SE?si=WZHF…
