A Life Without Imf: Pakistan Needs To Work Systematically To Enhance Its Capacity To Generate Additional Net Foreign Exchange Earnings Compared To The Current Levels., Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles
After the approval of the IMF Board of Pakistan’s request for a 37-month Extended Fund Facility, there were strong voices from the Prime and Finance Ministers that this would be the last program with the IMF. We have heard such pronouncements before, but they have not been translated into action. A broad consensus is emerging that it is in Pakistan’s best interests to exit to regain control over economic decision-making, set its priorities and their phasing, timing and sequencing, and get out of a straitjacket framework of short-term performance criteria. How can we ensure that this rhetoric is turned into …

Home-Grown Economic Plans, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles
The government recently formed a committee of eminent international and Pakistani economists to draft a home-grown economic programme. This article shows that there is little need for such a committee. There is no dearth of reports, recommendations, cabinet decisions and plans prepared by the government itself as well as international development partners, private sector organisations, academic institutions, think tanks and professional bodies which cover all aspects of a home-grown programme. Numerous books, articles, op-ed pieces, webinars, seminars and conferences have also provided many proposals. This piece confines itself to the last six years. During this period, the management of the …
The Impact Of Fiscal Policy On Macroeconomic Conditions In Pakistan: Insights From A Structural Vector Autoregression Analysis, Sarnaila Sharif, Saima Nawaz
The Impact Of Fiscal Policy On Macroeconomic Conditions In Pakistan: Insights From A Structural Vector Autoregression Analysis, Sarnaila Sharif, Saima Nawaz
Business Review
This article explores the relationship between fiscal policy and macroeconomic conditions in Pakistan using a robust Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model. Since fiscal shock has the tendency to put a constraint on the future path of government spending and taxes, as the intertemporal budget constraint holds. This element has been missed in most of the VAR studies. This study extends Structural Framework by incorporating the dynamic nature of public debt in analyzing fiscal policy shocks. Our investigation focuses on estimating the responses of output, inflation, and debt interest payments to changes in government spending and taxes, while keeping track of …

3rd Sbs International Conference 2025: Innovation And Disruption: Business Success Through Ai, School Of Business Studies (Sbs)
Conference Proceedings
From the time that Clayton Christensen (1997) highlighted the concept of disruption due to innovation, and its impact on businesses and economies, practitioners and researchers have diverted their attention to the evil it casts and the opportunities it presents. Innovations and improvements in technologies have more often than not resulted in disruption of business models prevalent at that time. The three industrial revolutions have marked definitive shifts in performance and perspectives, and now the world awaits the outcome of the industrial revolution 4.0. Disruptions do not come only from revolutions. This is evident from the very recent incidence of the …

One of the pillars of good governance is the rule of law and administration of Justice. The main plank of market economy is property rights and enforcement of contracts. Among several determinants of Foreign Direct Investment and International Trade flows the mechanisms by which disputes are resolved among the contracting parties features prominently. Inclusive development in which the majority of the population shares the benefits also requires Financial inclusion i.e access to capital. I would like to begin with Article 37 (d) of the constitution i.e provide inexpensive and expeditious justice. This in turn implies Affordability and Access. The world …

Honorable Sayyid Yousaf Raza Gilani, Chairman of the Senate; International Delegates; Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, It's always a great pleasure for me to be here at these summits organized by Nutshell. . The topic under discussion is of particular interest to me, as I have been actively writing, speaking, and advocating for Collaboration. In contrast to many other countries that have progressed, I believe that Pakistan needs a unified, agreed-upon goal as a starting point for collaboration. Without a shared vision or mandate, our efforts risk being scattered in various directions. My belief is that Pakistan requires inclusive, sustainable, and …
The Role Of Firms In Enhancing Economic Competitiveness, Ishrat Husain Dr.
The Role Of Firms In Enhancing Economic Competitiveness, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse
The challenge of improving competitiveness is intricate as nations themselves do not directly compete; rather, it is the myriad firms, enterprises, and companies within these nations that engage in competition. While factors like endowments, public policies, institutions, macroeconomic conditions, and business environment elements such as tariffs, taxation, regulations, utility pricing, and the ease and cost of doing business certainly play a role, the primary responsibility lies with the individual firms participating in the international markets for goods and services. Consequently, a comprehensive analysis of competitiveness necessitates a two-layered approach—one at the national level and another at the firm level. At …

Opening Address At Pakistan Media Summit 2024, Ishrat Husain Dr.
Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse
The last seventy years experience of developing countries has demonstrated that the focus of Economic Development on the narrow concept of economic growth or increases in GDP is highly misplaced. . A much broader concept that aims at inclusive, sustained and sustainable growth is the current working hypothesis. Indicators of success or failure now cover wide range of Social, Environmental and Governance dimensions . The respective roles of state, market and society have also been redefined and the binary State vis Market or ideological labels such as neo liberalism vs Socialism are no longer valid and have become outdated concepts. …

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles
Ishrat’s career is described in Sibtain Naqvi’s meticulously researched, well-structured biography Unravelling Gordian Knots: The Works and Worlds of Dr Ishrat Husain (2021). Dr Ishrat was perhaps too modest to write it himself. Naqvi is its surrogate parent. Ishrat’s family migrated from Agra in December 1947. His father established a legal practice in Hyderabad (Sindh), where Ishrat showed precocious promise by clearing his Matric exam at the age of 12. He graduated from Sindh University, then the University of British Columbia (Canada), after which he joined Pakistan’s Civil Service in 1964. That batch achieved a legendary reputation as an elite …

First of all, let me thank Humanex for providing this opportunity to share my views on a very important subject. I don’t want to repeat what Tariq Ikram has said because he has covered a lot of things which I had proposed to speak to you about but because of the youngsters present here, young people who have not seen what Pakistan’s economic trajectory has been, I want to remind them that Pakistan inherited absolutely no industry unit in the territory which is Pakistan. Most of the industries were all in India. There was only one decrepit Dalmia Cement Factory …

The Economic Costs Of Political Instability: Evidence From Pakistan, Shahid Hussain, Falik Shear
The Economic Costs Of Political Instability: Evidence From Pakistan, Shahid Hussain, Falik Shear
Business Review
This study analyses the impact of Political Instability (PI) on economic growth. PI is referred as the frequent regime or government changes in a country. PI affects economic growth due to inconsistent and uncertain government policies regarding investment and trade, tax system, government spending and fiscal balance, debt structure, monetary policy, exchange rates and inflation. PI coupled with these factors affects internal and external investments and ultimately future economic growth rates. Employing data from Pakistan for the period of 1984-2018, a country with a long history of various episodes of political instability under various democratic and non-democratic regimes, this study …

The three decades 1990-2020 ( despite the set backs of the Global financial crisis of 2009 and the pandemic of 2019) have resulted in remarkable gains for the Emerging and Developing Countries (EDCs). The hollowing out of the Soviet economy followed by the disintegration of the Soviet Union itself gave impetus to the trend of Deregulation, Privatization and Liberalization which was being followed by Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan .This trend was then emulated by the larger East Asian countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand the Philippines. The major and unprecedented break through came when China, the most populous …

He was passionate about agriculture development, mitigation of rural-urban income inequality, absorption of new entrants to job market Very few Pakistanis have made a name for their significant contributions on national and international fronts and are admired for their personal attributes. Sartaj Aziz was one of them – an active student leader during the freedom movement, a civil servant par excellence, an international mover and shaker, a politician of integrity and stature, and an academic of high calibre.

Inflation, Monetary Policy, And The Sacrifice Ratio, Leef H. Dierks
Inflation, Monetary Policy, And The Sacrifice Ratio, Leef H. Dierks
CBER Conference
Motivated by the 2022 uptick in headline inflation and the marked shift towards globally more restrictive monetary policies, this paper examines the sacrifice ratio, i.e., the percentage cost of actual production lost to every one percentage point decrease in (trend) inflation, for selected Southeast Asian economies. Results indicate that upon adopting a contractive monetary policy, GDP growth dropped by up to 0.5 per cent, confirming that monetary authorities’ disinflationary policies typically trigger declines in both output and employment. However, as even minor adjustments to the way of determining the sacrifice ratio lead to varying results, caution ought to be applied …

Analyzing Household Income Inequality: A Subgroup Decomposition Of Generalized Entropy Measures, Jazib Mumtaz, Sayed Irshad Hussain
CBER Conference
The study proves that education level, nature of employment, asset ownership, and gender contribute significantly to income inequality. The study further indicates that changes in income distribution for the bottom of the population through paid employment, female income, and asset ownership could impact income inequality. The study's results can be used to assess policy impact on social welfare and help policymakers design targeted interventions, develop efficient taxation, and create a sustainable model for inclusive growth.
Computational Calculation Of Sovereign Default Probabilities: Pakistan's Case, Salman Zaffar
Computational Calculation Of Sovereign Default Probabilities: Pakistan's Case, Salman Zaffar
CBER Conference
This paper uses Black-Scholes-Merton model to quantitatively assess sovereign debt sustainability of Pakistan. Both the International Monetary Fund and Asian Development Bank have separately proposed applying Black Scholes-Merton model to calculate the sovereign default risk. Historically, the Black-Scholes Merton Model has been used to analyze corporate default risk. Both the sovereign and corporate default risk calculation are based on contingent claims approach which calculates risk by reading the sovereign and corporate balance sheets, respectively. Thus, in light of the proposition by these two financial bodies this paper calculates the default probability of Pakistan in 2001-2022. As the efficacy, it is …
Evaluating The Impact Of Withdrawal Of Telegraphic Transfer (Tt) Charges Reimbursement On The Remittances From The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia (Ksa), Muhammad Omer
CBER Conference
This paper attempted to estimate the impact of withdrawal of TTC reimbursement on remittances inflowing from the KSA into Pakistan. For this purpose, we have used difference in difference (DID) technique on data from July 2018 to September 2022. Our estimates suggest that this policy led to a decline in the remittances inflows from KSA on average between US$ 31 million to US$ 76 million in each month. From policy perspective, Government of Pakistan needs to review this policy of reimbursement on remittances inflowing from KSA. Our results appears robust to various changes in estimation framework.
