1- Tax to GDP ratio is not increasing , ideally it should be around 15%
2- Growth is not happening at satisfactory pace , it should be at least 6% to 7%
3- Population increase is still more than 2% which should be less than 1%
4- non combat military expenditure is not decreasing
5- Government current expenditure and development programs are not shrinking, I think that the government can be run in less than 50% of current operational cost.
6- Exports and FDI completely stagnant
7- imports bill being controlled administratively and is not organic based on market demand.
8- Restructuring of debts with bilateral and multilateral lenders not happening
9- luxury imports not decreasing
10- PSDP still up and running , it should be abolished
11- transfer of ministries from federal to provinces under NFC award , also not happening
After above all , can some one enlighten that what exactly is going in right in Pakistan ?

Great! Very informative and cautiously optimist unlike the usual gloom and doom. Pakistan needs it!
It is a state of dynamic equilibrium now
