Yes, it’s obvious to any unbiased economist that Pakistan’s economy was on the boom during 1999-2007. You can look at data from independent and impartial sources and verify for yourself. What I don’t understand is why do these idiots on media, who know nothing about how global economy actually works, make sweeping statements that Musharraf destroyed the economy or Shaukat Aziz looted the country? I mean, how on earth do these idiots get the job and why are they permitted to speak on topics they know as much about as they do about rocket science?

Dear Fareedullah Shah,
For total workers remittances, pls visit the chart on the below mentioned page. As percentage of GDP, kindly divide it by the yearly GDP (worth of economy).
Many thanks for visiting us! Looking forward to hear from you.

Inspite of continuous turbulance in our political & social enviroement and economy , the economic indicators are yet encouraging espacially frm 1999 to 2007 , by addressing our value systems we can compete world’s faster growing economies.
Being Pakistani this is nice to see the healty ecomic picture. Keep it updated. Thank you.
