00:00We were giving some statistics about the economy, so what is the situation now?
00:06Let's listen to what Mariam Sahiba has to say about the economy first.
00:12After a 7-8 year economy, Allah has blessed us.
00:17In the last year, there has been an improvement in the economy in Pakistan.
00:20When we took over, inflation was at 38%.
00:24Now inflation is below 4%.
00:26No matter what the media or the opposition says, everyone knows that Pakistan is in a take-off position.
00:32Okay, so now this statement has come.
00:35Mohamad Sahab is smiling and he has got some papers out.
00:38No, no, I haven't got the papers out.
00:40Now they have said that inflation has reduced to 4%.
00:43Explain this to them.
00:45They say that apart from fashion, there are 2-3 other things.
00:48That is called education.
00:50You haven't reduced inflation.
00:52Inflation is increasing.
00:54The speed at which inflation is increasing has reduced.
01:00That is a good thing.
01:02See, they were going at a speed of 45%.
01:06Inflation is still increasing.
01:09And remember one thing.
01:11You don't inflate for a month or two.
01:14You inflate for a whole year.
01:16According to the inflation of that year, even today,
01:19the year in which these people are playing the band,
01:22in that year, their total inflation was more than in the period of PTI in 2022.
01:28What is inflation now?
01:29We will tell you later.
01:30It is 7%.
01:32It is less than your time.
01:34All the indicators, economic indicators, all the indicators,
01:39see them in March 2022 and see them today.
01:43See all of them.
01:44Wait a minute.
01:45Let me tell you.
01:46In 2022, when these people came, Pakistan was being destroyed.
01:49Do you know that there was a B plus point of Pakistan at that time?
01:52Okay.
01:54There are 4 more stages below B plus.
01:58Then there is CCC plus.
01:59Whose rating was this?
02:00This rating was of Moody's and Fitch.
02:03Okay.
02:04Apart from that, do you know that there is CCC plus now?
02:08Before this, it went up to CCC minus.
02:10But listen to me.
02:11CCC minus.
02:12Wait a minute.
02:13CCC minus, so that the people who watch your program can tell you,
02:18CCC minus means at the verge of collapse.
02:22And CCC plus means it is in great danger.
02:27It is still in danger.
02:29It is still better than the verge of collapse.
02:31A person has failed in 10 subjects.
02:33Now instead of 10, he will fail in 7 subjects.
02:36So yes, he is better than that.
02:37Still, he has failed.
02:38I would like to do two things on this.
02:40We will also get an answer from Mr. Rana.
02:41One is that we saw the current stock market boom.
02:45It is also an indicator.
02:46No.
02:47Not the exact figure, but also an indicator.
02:49Hold on.
02:50Wait a minute.
02:51I will get your answer on this.
02:52The second thing is that the percentage,
02:54if it was going at 38%,
02:56I already believe that there is a trend of increase in inflation.
03:00And I keep giving clarity.
03:01I mean, wherever I sit.
03:03I had a discussion with Mr. Rana on this once.
03:05And this is what we talked about.
03:06That there is no decrease in inflation.
03:07There is a trend of increase in inflation.
03:09People's living conditions still need to improve.
03:12There should be a trickle-down effect.
03:14Now, these current statements,
03:16for example, you must have seen MD IMF.
03:19That's a positive sign, right?
03:21Or is it not?
03:22That is also positive.
03:23Look, you were standing on the edge.
03:256 inches ahead of it.
03:26You must have made an effort.
03:27Look, I didn't make any effort.
03:28Let me tell you one thing.
03:29Do you know that in the last 1.5-2 years,
03:311 crore 60 lakh people have been pushed down from the poverty line?
03:36Do you know that the time when they lied about Pakistan's justice system,
03:42the unemployment rate was 5.4%.
03:46Do you know that today it is 9.5%?
03:49Is it double that?
03:50Sir, when your government was about to leave,
03:52before that,
03:54do you remember the statements of Asad Umar Sahib,
04:02Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed Sahib,
04:04addressing the Prime Minister?
04:06Do you remember that?
04:07Enlighten me.
04:09That people are worried.
04:11People's condition is very bad.
04:13Hold on, hold on.
04:15I totally agree with you.
04:17I am not saying that Pakistan is in a time of justice.
04:20But what did we do?
04:22As soon as we came, we changed the entire system.
04:25We had a delay of 6 months.
04:27I think it should have been done a long time ago.
04:29But it didn't happen.
04:30What did we do?
04:31It was a drop.
04:32It dropped to 0.18%.
04:35After that, what happened?
04:362.4%, 5.97%, 6.2%.
04:39All these things.
04:40See, a positive was going on.
04:42You need at least 5 years.
