Dar Sb is on a mission to make Pakistan default. Abysmal decision considering the fact that IMF deal is in lingo and default risk is high. We are wasting essential dollars by not raising GST on POL products.

GST should not be a concern at all. PDL must be levied to the maximum. It is a very right decision by government to keep the prices same, given the fact that International crude oil prices are going down. It is extremely important to shore up the coffers of federal government at the earliest. A rich federal government that is capable of paying back the external debts will show the real symptoms of investors' confidence on our debt. The population of all sort of vehicles is a good indicator that the public can easily afford the expensive fuels. So, if the fuel rates are increased to 250 by raising PDL beyond 50 rupees, there are good chances that FBR target could be achieved. This is more so necessary because fuel consumption is decreasing and we must achieve our target by any means.

@Haroon, GST is not a priority as much as PDL should be. GST revenue has to be shared with provinces whereas PDL revenue belongs to federal government solely. So, priority is to enrich the Federal government. Provinces and public are not the priority. So, I endorse the government's decision to keep prices unchanged. It is important that PDL must be collected beyond its annual stated committed target with IMF. Public has no issue with rising prices of fuels. Raising hue and cry for a few days should not be a worrisome matter. And for default prospects, I am sure that less educated and ignorant people should not have the right to speak on such topics which they don't know about at all or have little knowledge. There must be a damn check on the freedom of expression. Discussions on Default must be the sole prerogative of those professionals who have full knowledge about it and could mentor the ignorant people at large.
