Pakistani rupee strengthens 4.3 pct on reports of China loan

KARACHI: The Pakistani rupee surged by 4.3 percent to 122.24/123.86 per dollar on Monday, following domestic media reports over the weekend that China had agreed to provide $2 billion in loans.

A State Bank of Pakistan spokesman declined to comment on Monday about the media reports.

Breathing space for smooth transition: China loans Pakistan $1.5 to $1.7

Monday brought the first significant strengthening in years for the rupee, which has weakened more than 20 percent since December after four separate devaluations by the central bank.

Karachi-based brokerage Intermarket Securities said weekend publication of full results of the July 25 election may have also helped sentiment, as did media reports of possible inflows from Saudi Arabia.

Officials from Imran Khans Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), or Pakistan Movement for Justice, party said they were in talks with independents and at least one other political party to form a coalition government.

But the rupee's advance might be short-lived, given Pakistan's economic problems, analysts said.

"Short-term flows aside, it is difficult to see the (rupee) sustaining its pullback for long," Intermarket Securities said in a note.

Many analysts expect Pakistan to turn to the International Monetary Fund for a bailout, which is expected to be in excess of $10 billion, according to local media reports.

Woman gives birth to baby girl during international flight on PIA

A Pakistani woman gave birth to a baby girl on an international commercial flight travelling from Madinah, Saudi Arabia, to Multan on Tuesday.

“Miracles happen everyday and we had our little miracle today onboard our flight PK 716 from Madinah to Multan,” the Pakistan International Airlines said in a statement issued on their Facebook page. “A beautiful baby girl was born!”

The cabin crew assisted with the emergency delivery. “The parents were over joyed and expressed their gratitude to the cabin crew members who helped with the delivery.”




As congratulations poured in for the parents, some questioned why the woman was allowed air-travel if she was full-term.

Two more independent MPAs join PTI

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said Sunday that two more independently-elected members of Punjab Assembly had joined the party.

“PTI takes two more wickets from Punjab - Independent candidate from Narowal PP-46 Pir Syed Sair-Ul-Hassan & Independent candidate from Rawalpindi PP-7 Raja Sagheer joins caravaan of Kaptaan & will support PTI candidate for CM slot in Punjab Assembly; GAME OVER for PMLN!,” a PTI tweet claimed.

“With mew members joining PTI, Alhamdolillah, it now has 132 members in the Punjab Assembly, the highest from any party. The game is over for PMLN,” it wrote.

The two MPA met Imran Khan at Bani Gala and announced their support for his vision for the country. 

This comes a day after four MPAs from Layyah, Kabirwala and Dera Ghazi Khan joined Imran Khan’s party.

“We have extended our unconditional support to PTI because we full support the vision of Imran Khan against corruption,” MPA Hanif Patafi told media persons at Bani Gali on Saturday.

“We haven’t made any demand for joining the PTI. Our support is unconditional,” he said. "We were offered ministries and money by the PML-N. But we rejected their offer," he said.

Basharat Randhawa, a newly-elected MPA from Layyah, said that people had rejected corrupt people who were given tickets by parties in the parliamentary elections.

“We have decided to join PTI without any greed,” he said.

Rafaqat Shah and Basharat Randhawa belong to Layyah, Hussain Jahanian is from Kabirwala while Hanif Patafi hails from Dera Ghazi Khan.

PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tarin was also present in the meeting.

Punjab Assembly

According to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), out of 295 seats, the PML-N has bagged 129 followed by PTI which has got 123 seats.

The PML-Q has won seven seats, PPP six and Pakistan Awami Raj has taken one seat. Independents elected to the provincial assembly stand at 29.

Breathing space for smooth transition: China loans Pakistan $1.5 to $1.7

ISLAMABAD: In a bid to get a breathing space for Pakistan for completion of ongoing political transition in a smooth manner, China has provided $1.5 to $1.7 billion in shape of official bilateral loan on soft terms and conditions to Islamabad out of total agreed size of $2 billion assistance.

The remaining small amount of this soft loan will be deposited into the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) very soon, a top official confirmed to The News on Saturday.

However, economic experts believe this bilateral assistance from China cannot become alternative to the IMF program keeping in view the projected financing gap in the range of $26 to $28 billion for the current fiscal year 2018-19.

In his maiden speech after winning election, PTI chief Imran Khan dwelt upon certain issues relating to economy such as taxation and austerity to reduce expenditure but he did not mention this huge financing gap of $28 billion which is the biggest economic problem for Pakistan right now.

But one former bureaucrat who has dealt with economic ministries for his whole carrier, suggested to the incoming government led by Imran Khan that they must give one chance to existing tax amnesty scheme by extending it for one month with the hope that the new administration having no baggage might lead people to convince for benefitting from this scheme while living abroad and Pakistan might get the desired $3 to $4 billion inflows on immediate basis.

“This can be a great start for the new government”, he told this reporter on the condition of anonymity.

He said in such case Pakistan might be able to avoid the IMF program.

Imran Khan also met with Saudi Ambassador in Islamabad which also raised hopes that the Kingdom might provide few billion dollars as a sign of good gesture for the new government as Riyadh had provided $1.5 billion to the PML-N-led government in 2014 as a gift.

When contacted former finance minister and renowned economist Dr Hafiz Pasha on Saturday, he said Pakistan’s financing gap on external front was projected at $28 billion for the current fiscal year and the incoming government will have to place a comprehensive strategy to bridge this gap.

He said China had provided over $6.5 billion on different accounts to Pakistan in last fiscal year and again agreed to provide $2 billion more in this fiscal year but it could be used as “breathing space” only.

“We can meet around 40 percent financing requirement with help of China but we will have to manage remaining 60 percent from other avenues,” he added.

If the foreign currency reserves continued to fall and remain two months below import bill then the multilateral creditors such as the World Bank, ADB and others would not provide assistance for budgetary support so the IMF support will become necessary in such situation.

As The News had already broken a story regarding a proposal under consideration to increase additional customs duty by one percent on almost all items and jacking up Regulatory Duty (RD) on luxury items before July 25 elections so now the next government will have to take such tough steps in a bid to reduce the rising trade and current account deficit on immediate basis.

The imports of the country had peaked to $56 billion so there is need to discourage such mammoth number of imports.

The current account deficit stood at $18 billion for last fiscal year ended on June 30, 2018 which required to reduce mainly through increasing dollar inflows in shape of boosting exports, remittances and investment and decreasing imports.

Chinese experts welcome Imran Khan's pledge to strengthen bilateral ties

KARACHI: Chinese experts have appreciated Prime Minister-elect Imran Khan’s policy of working closely with China to strengthen bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman, in his victory speech to the nation on Thursday, laid out party’s future plans and foreign policy directions with major capitals and neighbors including China.


"We will strengthen and further our relations with China. We want to work towards the success of CPEC, as this offers an opportunity for economic betterment, investment and job creation. We also want to send teams to learn poverty alleviation from China, as they pulled 700 million people out of poverty in 30 years," he said in a televised speech.

In an unprecedented development on Saturday, the official twitter account of PTI tweeted for the first time in Chinese language showing party’s eagerness to work towards the success of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Commenting on the matter, Editor-in-Chief of highly influential Global Times Hu Xijin said: “We have noticed the new signals.”

On Friday the newspaper published an editorial on Khan’s victory speech in which it stated that China remains a key pillar of Pakistan’s foreign policy and the nature of ‘all-weather strategic partnership of cooperation has lived up to its name, and the conditions that help foster this special relationship have not changed with the rise of Khan and his party.’

“We want to work towards the success of CPEC. We also want to send teams to learn poverty alleviation from China. How to lift our most poor who can’t even eat two meals a day,” the message on Twitter read.

Prof Song Zhihui, director of Pakistan Study Center, Sichuan University, said that he is happy to see the new government has expressed hope to promote Sino-Pakistani cooperation.

However, Tom Hussain, a China watcher and SCMP columnist, opined that ‘the PTI has been working overtime to repair its relations with the Beijing, which had been damaged by its disparaging remarks and allegations of corruption about CPEC projects in the past.’

Beijing has been encouraged by the PTI outreach, but it would closely watch the new government's decisions, he added.

Insofar, China has invested $62 billion in infrastructure projects focusing on energy, transportation and telecommunication under the CPEC in Pakistan.

Sharif unwell, may be shifted to hospital today

RAWALPINDI/ LAHORE:
Deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s health has taken a downward turn during his incarceration in Adiala jail. He is apparently suffering from chest pain and facing urinary issues along with other symptoms.



A team of doctors from Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, headed by its Chief Executive Major General (retd) Dr Azhar Mehmood Kayani, visited Adiala Jail and compiled a report after a detailed medical check-up. The report was sent to the Punjab Health secretary.

It recommended that Sharif be shifted to a hospital immediately for treatment. The story was first broken by Express News anchor Javed Chaudhry.

According to Chaudhry, Sharif suddenly fell seriously ill on Sunday. He has been in the prison for the last ten days, where his condition has deteriorated.




Safdar ‘unwell’, doctors to assess condition

Although his personal physician Dr Adnan had seen him twice in recent days, the jail administration called doctors from RIC to be sure of what had happened. The team spent about one-and-a-half hour checking Sharif.

According to the medical board, the amount of water in his body is very low, and because of that, his heartbeat has become erratic. The amount of urea in his blood has also become very high, which can cause a kidney failure.

The board’s finding suggested that Sharif be shifted to hospital immediately.

Sharif had complained about his health yesterday and the Punjab health secretary constituted a medical board headed by Maj Gen (retd) Dr Kayani.

Shifting of Sharif family to Sihala rest house postponed

The Punjab Prisons sources told Daily Express that they are waiting for the Punjab home department’s orders about shifting Sharif to the hospital.

Maj Gen (retd) Dr Kayani said the former PM is suffering from heart and kidney problems and, therefore, the board has suggested that he be shifted to a hospital because many of the tests required cannot be performed in jail, nor do jails have the necessary medical facilities required to treat his condition. However, the decision is up to the Punjab government, he added.

Meanwhile, there are strong chances that Sharif will be shifted to RIC today.

Caretaker provincial ministers Shaukat Javed and Ahmed Waqas Riaz said the jail superintendent has been informed in writing about Sharif’s health issues and the home department has formed a medical board which will perform another checkup today to decide on whether to shift him to a hospital. They confirmed that Sharif’s medical tests suggested he had kidney issues. The caretaker government is in touch with jail authorities and Nawaz Sharif is getting better medical facilities, they added.

Sharif was awarded a 10-year jail term in the Avenfield reference, while his daughter Maryam Nawaz was sentenced to seven years in jail, and his son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar was sentenced to one year imprisonment.

Former cricket star galvanises support for PTI party with pledge to end corruption

On a stage high above a hockey stadium to the north of Lahore, a compere shrieks into the microphone. Supporters of Imran Khan clamber onto rows of chairs. Then the 65-year-old cricket legend steps forward.

With a general election due to be held on Wednesday, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is just a bat swing away from a victory he has pursued relentlessly since relinquishing a glamorous London lifestyle of celebrity and nightclubs more than 20 years ago.


“This is an opportunity to change Pakistan,” he tells an 8,000-strong crowd in the poor suburb of Shahdara, as moths collide with high-powered floodlights. “You will not have it again and again.”



Merchants inside the stadium cash in on Khan’s celebrity with T-shirts, phone covers and flags decorated with the craggily handsome features of the “Captain” who led Pakistan to victory at the 1992 cricket World Cup. But it is his promise to end corruption that has transformed the party he founded in 1996, and which held only one seat in parliament until 2013, into the probable leaders of the next government.


Claiming that $10bn (£7.6bn) is laundered out of Pakistan each year, the populist, socially conservative leader hits out at the “traitors who have made this country poor”.


Khan’s political fortunes have risen steadily in the year since he successfully petitioned Pakistan’s supreme court to disqualify the former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, on corruption charges. Earlier this month, Sharif was imprisoned on a 10-year sentence: from the stage, a PTI official claims that that a jailer switches on Sharif’s television during Khan’s rallies, forcing him to watch his tormentor-in-chief.


“Have you seen Avenfield House?” Mohammed Asif asks outside the rally. “Those are my flats,” says the 33-year-old Khan supporter, referring to four properties in Park Lane, London, which lie at the heart of Sharif’s corruption case. “They belong to the people of Pakistan.”

But Khan is a deeply polarising figure and his poison-tongued campaign inflamed political tensions. After he called supporters of Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) “donkeys”, an animal charity reported that PTI aficionados had beaten one of the animals close to death.

Khan implied in a tweet following the deaths of 149 people an Isis-claimed suicide attack on 13 July in the eastern province of Balochistan that the PML-N was behind the attack as a way to distract attention from Sharif’s legal woes. “Beginning to wonder why whenever Nawaz Sharif is in trouble, there is increasing tension along Pakistan’s borders and a rise in terrorist acts? Is it a mere coincidence?” he asked.

More damaging to his claims to represent a break with the status quo is the accusation that Khan is taking advantage of the support of Pakistan’s powerful military establishment, which has ruled the country for nearly half of its coup-studded 71-year history. Polls show the two parties neck-a-neck but PML-N leaders appear so downcast as to have practically conceded.

“Sharif is just crying about the election as this is the first time he hasn’t been able to use his own umpire,” Khan said at the Shahdara rally.


In political terms, Khan has plenty of incentive to seek out shortcuts, according to analysts . The PML-N has had a broadly positive record in government over the last five years, in which the party has notably reduced power blackouts. According to political commentator Fasi Zaka, this means “it would not have been his election” without a military-backed campaign against the party in which supportive media channels have been taken off air, politicians have been pressured to defect, and the courts selectively targeted its leaders.

In a recent interview with Dawn newspaper, Khan lamented that “this is not Europe, you cannot just tell people what you stand for and they will vote for you”. This is a lesson he appears to have learned from the election of 2013, when he worked himself into the ground – eventually falling off stage and being hospitalised.

Since then, his campaign has evolved from promises of a “New Pakistan” – better schools, better hospitals, an end to pilfering from the state – into something more traditional. Around one third of his party’s candidates are recently recruited “electables”, long-in-the-tooth politicians who bring with them vote banks and, often, corruption scandals. These characters, many believe, will help the PTI crack the crucial province of Punjab, which returns more than half the 272 directly elected seats in the National Assembly.


But former allies told that many believe that the party has shifted away from its anti-corruption platform. “There are cuckoos in the PTI nest,” Brigadier Samson Sharif, the party’s ex-shadow defence secretary, said. Khan “now has so many albatrosses hanging around his neck … he is a pied piper leading the people nowhere”.


Born in Lahore in 1952, the Oxford-educated cricketer has also undergone what appears to be significant a personal transformation. While he used to party with Mick Jagger, today he defends Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws and criticises “Westoxified” Pakistani liberals.

In 2017, the provincial government his party has run for the past five years in the northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa granted $3m to the Haqqania madrassa, a fount of Taliban fighters, drawing sighs of “Taliban Khan” from the coffee shops frequented by Islamabad’s liberals. Others note the arc of his marriages: first came Jemima Khan, a glamorous British heiress. Earlier this year Khan secretly wed his spiritual adviser, Bushra Maneka.

Still, the spectre of an electorally poisonous playboy past was revived with the publication this month of a kiss-and-tell memoir by his second wife, Reham Khan, a former news anchor, PDF copies of which were shared far and wide on Pakistani WhatsApp. She alleges he used “six grams” of cocaine a night, has several love-children and sexts women in his party. “She is just a porn star,” says supporter Zulfikar Ali Khan, repeating the argument of PTI insiders that the book’s publication was co-ordinated with the PML-N.

If the book was a ploy, it seems unlikely to pay off. According to Credit Suisse, the PTI stands a 75% chance of forming a coalition government under Khan. Some supporters even celebrate the army’s alleged tilting of the field as proof that the institution is doing its job. “If they are involved, they are in favour of Pakistan,” says Umair Iqbal, 25. “Even if you put down a vote for PML-N,” adds Shehzar, 19, “it will go to PTI. The PML-N has no chance of forming a government as it has no supporting hands.” In reference to the army, he said: “They know how to bowl you out.”


That appears a blessing to Khan for now. But with a looming economic crisis, political instability and an assertive military establishment to handle, Pakistan’s probable next “Captain” will have to zealously guard his own stumps.
