Since this article on #import duties as implicit #export taxes went to 'print', I received some very good feedback, so let me add two points below to add clarity mechanisms at play here. 👇👇
1\ An 'innocent' 10% #import duty on bikes increases the relative profits of selling domestically versus #exporting by 40%! thus deterring new #exporters [assumptions are based on @PBSofficialpak numbers!]
Table below takes you through it. #Pakistan #Trade 👇👇
2\ From a #policy angle, how do you shift from an #ImportSubstitution mindset (which is the same as saying #Export substitution one) to an #Export led growth one? All of a sudden? No. Here are some ideas. #Pakistan

PS: thanks to @MOPasha84 for helping make the case clearer.

Britain is being subjected to the Syriza treatment of 2015: the pain is being dialed up until resistance breaks.
The EU is stating that the UK must accept the “ratchet clause” and swallow terms (dressed up as level-playing field clauses) that do not exist in normal trade deals.
Moreover, the EU will not try to reach a modus vivendi. This is the latest “no-escape” twist. The EU Commission is instructing member states to engage in a systematic non-cooperation policy, insisting that the UK must be forced back to the table “as soon as possible”.
