The government has not solved the problems the peopleAT PENPOINTThe problems with the economy are not showing signs of going away, despite the optimistic pronouncements of government officials, and the increasing worry of the Chief of Army Staff about the economy, which seems reflected in two developments, the first being his inclusion as a member of the National Development Council, the second his being the chief guest at a seminar in the National Defence University on the challenges facing the economy. As all those traders selling to Pakistan want dollars, the rupee is under permanent pressure to devalue. All of this has meant that the military wants the economy to work so that it can do its job effectively. That would also explain why even these foreign-trained experts have not been able to fix the economy. Will something similar solve the problems the people face?
