We too could have been a member of this elite club had we focused on and fully implemented three strategic decisions that our leaders took during the country’s chequered history.

The entire civil bureaucracy at that time was galvanised, right up to the level of deputy and assistant commissioners who took an active part in population welfare activities.

Every disaster exposes vulnerabilities of individuals, communities, structures and systems almost proportionally to its scale. The amount offered for a mud house is far lesser than a pukka house. How on earth could one differentiate between a pukka and a mud house if they have already washed away?

The perception of Pakistan’s risk of default has worsened with the five-year credit default swap (CDS) surging by 30 percentage points in a week to 93% on Monday ahead of the repayment of $1 billion for a maturing international bond early next month. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and many financial experts have reiterated that Pakistan will not default on any of the international payments and that volatility in the CDS had nothing to do with the country’s default risk. The yield was hovering at less than 10% before the Covid-19 outbreak in February 2020 in Pakistan, when the investors had high confidence in Pakistan’s capacity to repay them. Yields on the other two bonds worth a total of $2 billion maturing in 2024 and 2025 also increased during the day. Arif Habib Limited Head of Research Tahir Abbas said that the “CDS is a premium that investors pay to insure their investment in bonds against the risk of default”.
