The tech startup sector in Pakistan has had a rough year 🌪️ with investment plunging 47% quarter-on-quarter and 68% year-on-year to $55.4m in Q3 2022 - the lowest level since Q1 2021

@bznotes @nighatdad @xParacha @ZahidLilani @rehanallahwala @kalsoom82 @aatif_awan 1/7
This is particularly concerning considering that 2021 saw record investment of $366m in the country and local startups raised over $174m in Q1 2022. 2/7
It's clear that the changing global macros 🌍 combined with Pakistan's economic crisis and the uncertain resumption of the International Monetary Fund programme 💰 have had a major impact on the sector. 3/7

@UnrollHelper Ought to come with a health warning for the nation's economy!
@UnrollHelper “The key is to make sure that failure is survivable,” is one of the book’s insights. “In the early stages of a project, failure need not be a disaster.”

"This is likely to provide scant consolation to Tory MPs facing the threat of losing their seats at the next election."

Refusal of Russian gas - illusions and reality

The recent announcement by Lithuania and other Baltic countries to completely give up Russian gas has gotten a lot of attention in the media field. It is presented as a victory and an
1/
appeal to other EU countries to follow this "successful" example.

In fact, the opposite is true. Almost all the gas in the Baltic States is Russian. But it comes at the expense of reverse gas from Hungary.

Previously, the Ukrainian gas transport system could only work in

the direct direction from Ukraine to Hungary. At the beginning of 2022, the possibility was created to transport gas also by reverse, in both directions. The Hungarian direction became the second physical route of gas supply to Ukraine from Europe after Slovakia.

#GDP #EconomicCrisis #employment
India's economy shrinks at the fastest pace on record. Economy contracts by 23.9% compared to the same quarter last year. Investment collapsed by 47% compared with the previous year, while household consumption contracted by nearly 27%.
Government consumption increased by 16%, but that just wasn't enough. After all how much more can the government eat?

Barring 1or 2 States in India, every State has fcuked up with #COVID19 tackling due to unplanned lockdown, messy implementation, inadequate funds, no consideration for poor
+ our Cent. Govt is fcuking up with the sinking economy.
+ our neighbours are scaring the sh*t out of us.
+ Modi govt is continuing with its theatrics and propaganda rubbing salt & mirchmasala on our wounds.

We are a fcuked up nation.
We will expose ourselves with our rising covid cases soon.

What can we expect from a PM who propagated the foolish theory of thali banging in the midst of 12 hour Janta curfew on 22/3 when we had not even started our covid battle. Whose efforts were we applauding at that stage?
What did we bang our thalis for?
What were we celebrating?

#Lockdown is critical for slowing the spread of #COVID19, and India has displayed firm resolve in enforcing it.

Massive labour churn; CMIE Data indicates that 120 million people have lost their jobs. We will need strong Govt action to revive the Economy.

We're already in a Global #Recession, the kind of which hasn't been seen in a century. It could get a lot worse, and we need to be prepared. #ViciousCycle 🔁 : Businesses shuttered, Labour furloughed, Expenditure cut and Demand destroyed. @MD_Nalapat

The #lockdown and media-fuelled fear have completely brought the economy to a grinding halt. At some stage, #starvation may overtake #COVID19 as the leading cause of death. States like Punjab are finding innovative ways to balance health & economics.

Firstly, reduce clutter. There's all sorts of clutter these days on social media and even people bombarding you with all sorts of content on messaging apps.
To reduce clutter, reduce the time you spend on your phone and social media. For news and happenings, only follow a good, credible source of news that you enjoy reading.

A simple understanding of the slowdown that has gripped us since 2015 (we are discounting all growth numbers put out) #EconomicSlowdown
Demographics bite–India’s Unemployment rate has spiked from 3.5% in 2010 to over 6% in 2018 : some estimates put this no. At over 9% for 2019
Gross Domestic Savings rate as a % of GDP has fallen from 34% in 2010 to 29% in 2018 – FYI we grew from 22% in 1991 to 26% in 1995 and from 28% in 2003 to 34% in 2010 (the so called boom years)
Gross Investment has fallen from a high of 41% of GDP in 2012 to 32% in FY 18
Subsidies remained flat during 2014 – 2018 (marginal increases ) compared to a near 6X increase between 2005 – 13 (putting more money in the hands of the consumer).
STAGFLATION in the Rural Economy between 2014-2019 did not help
