Problems of Pakistani Nation
Pakistan has reached the point where many of the countries of the West have started labeling it as a "Failed State". The reason behind this uproar is the severity of the problems the country faces. The global crisis has not hit any country as badly as it has hit Pakistan.

There are various problems the country faces including terrorism, power shortages, gas shortages, shooting inflation rates, unavailability of basic needs for people such as food, housing, clothes, rising rates of unemployment, worsening of the balance of payment position and the list goes on and on. It is time that someone comes up with solutions to these problems or the nation for which our ancestors fought would be lost somewhere in the midst.

But who knew that this action would lead to Pakistan becoming a victim of terrorist attacks. This move faced severe retaliation from various facets, increasing the incidence of terrorism in the country. Problems of sectarian violence already existed and now all Muslims of the country faced threats from terrorist groups such as Taliban. Terrorism did not only pose physical threat in terms of the lives of people but it had a far reaching impact. Terrorism shunned any opportunities of foreign investment in the country resulting in a loss for the country's economy. There was a fall in exports as people oversees did not want to trade with a terrorist State thus worsening the balance of payment position.

The global crisis of 2008 hit Pakistan pretty badly resulting in several layoffs throughout the country. The country already marred by terrorism could not bear such a heavy loss. Many of the educated men and women are unemployed and they don't even have the chance of starting their own businesses because in such a crisis situation any investments made could result in huge losses for the

    Countries don’t run on walking sticks of Aids but on trade.. Example of china is in front of all of us who destroyed the economy of USA and today the markets of USA are full of Chinese products.. Now Pakistan has understood this point and it is relying on trade rather than waiting for Aid from other countries.. According to the history after 1965-66 the balance of trade of Pakistan had never been surplus.. One of the reasons behind it was that in the initial days of independence of Pakistan, there wasn’t anything to import but agricultural raw materials and on the other hand we did not need to import machinery.. With the passage of time import trade started changing and textile industry became important in import trade.. If we take a look on trade of last ten years the balance of trade is going from bad to worse.. Most of our trade is with European countries but we are ignoring our neighboring countries like India, Afghanistan etc.. Usually the exports of Pakistan are quite low..…
