Dubai property leaks scandal - Maria Memon's Detail Analysis
Transcript
00:00 Welcome back to Pakistan IMF program.
00:02 It has been going on for decades.
00:06 And now it is time to put our shoes on for just one billion dollars.
00:14 Pakistan wants to invest in big companies from all over the world.
00:19 But how will it invest?
00:21 It will invest when its citizens' relationship
00:24 with their state, financial system and government economy is in good hands.
00:31 This week we saw a scandal called Dubai Leaks
00:34 which revealed that Dubai property has assets worth 400 billion dollars.
00:40 According to the document, the Pakistanis have assets worth 11 billion dollars.
00:46 Dubai's assets are second highest in India after India.
00:51 And it was also revealed that 17,000 Pakistanis have purchased more than 23,000 properties in Dubai.
01:00 It is a good thing to invest in any country.
01:04 But why do people invest?
01:06 Why do investors go to any other country?
01:08 They go there because there is a rule of law.
01:11 They are safe.
01:13 They know that when they invest, the law will give them security.
01:18 They will have a financial safety net.
01:21 That is why they go somewhere.
01:24 They go to places where there is peace and security.
01:28 Where they don't get robbed.
01:31 Where they can invest their money.
01:34 Where there are good dividends and returns.
01:38 Investors invest there.
01:40 And a city like Dubai offers all this.
01:43 Investors go to places where they get incentives.
01:47 They make it easy for them.
01:50 So, Dubai is one of the few cities in the world.
01:54 But the sad part is that when the elite of Pakistan goes to Dubai,
01:59 our political leadership goes to different countries.
02:03 They go to different places and only invest in Pakistan.
02:07 Throughout the decades, every Pakistani Prime Minister will go on a tour and tell people to invest in Pakistan.
02:14 Despite all these invitations, the elite of Pakistan,
02:18 whether it is the political elite or the people with resources,
02:22 who have money and know how to invest,
02:26 is investing their money abroad.
02:29 So, how can you expect your own citizens to invest abroad?
02:35 Policy makers will have to ask this question.
02:37 Is there a rule of law here?
02:39 Is there security of your money here?
02:41 Is the money you are investing here worth it?
02:44 And most importantly, is there a margin for futuristic and future-oriented investments in Pakistan?
02:52 Just by saying it, by giving statements, it doesn't make a difference.
02:56 The whole world knows where, where, which spot, which country is a good investment spot.
03:02 The program is over. Don't forget to give your feedback.
03:04 Take care. Goodbye.
