With @StateBank_Pak releasing dissaggregated #trade data for December, we have a picture of the full 2021, which, despite #supply #chain disruptions worldwide, was 'good' for #Pakistan. Short thread below:
1\ #exports grew by 30.1% in 2021 w.r.t. 2020, with a strong pick up in merchandise, but also substantive in services.

#trade #Pakistan
2\ To be sure, in #real terms, #Pakistan's #exports remain below its local max in 2011. So, no 'record exports' if we talk real terms and not values.

Its weekend...and time for deep dive for next #megatrend in the making ..

Can #textiles be the sector in 2022 what did speciality chemicals used to be in 2016-17??

Yes you are right speciality chemicals baskets have been 15-20 baggers in the last 5 years

(1/n)
#Navinfluorine from 270 in 2016 to 4000 in 2021
#Vinatiorganics from 200 in 2016 to 2200 in 2021
#Aartiindustries from 135 in 2016 to 1200 in 2021
And lots many…

First of all, let us understand what’s exactly changed during 2016 for speciality
chemicals and can history repeat itself in the case of textiles:

Flashback 2016:

Back in 2016 china had a dominant market share of 67 % in speciality and commodity chemicals.
Due to rising Air pollution, Chinese regulations decided to shut down chemical factories

En el desierto #Nazca (o #Nasca) al sur del #Perú, unas misteriosas líneas trazadas en el suelo rocoso representan #animales de la fauna local y extrañas criaturas. ¿Quiénes hicieron estas figuras y por qué?
¡Adentro #hilo! 🧵
#Arqueología #Historia #LineasDeNazca #NazcaLines
¿Cómo trazaron las imágenes? Y lo que es más importante, ¿quiénes y por qué? Todo tipo de explicaciones esotéricas se han desarrollado en torno a las Líneas de #Nazca, cuya destreza parece fuera del alcance humano. ¿Pistas de aterrizaje realizadas por #extraterrestres?
Si lo que te atrae de las Líneas de #Nazca es el tema de los #alienígenas, siento decepcionarte, ya que este #hilo trata sobre #Arqueología y evidencias científicas. Intentaré explicar lo más singular de esta extraordinaria cultura, una de las más importantes de #Perú.

Las cartas de la industria #textil ya están sobre la mesa @euratex_eu. Nunca fue tan claro el #fastfashion, aunque ahora algunos se desmarquen. En los próximos meses/años podríamos ver:
1. Producción masiva en Europa o norte de Africa
... sigo hilo
modaes.es/entorno/albert…
2. La #industria #textil puede aguantar un mal año
3. La recuperación optima será con menos volumen y más valor
4. Ya no se verán precios muy bajos en los #textiles
5. #globalización, #sostenibilidad y #digitalización es el nuevo padadigma
... sigo hilo
6. Aprovisionarse en Asia y decir que se es #sostenible es hacerse trampas al solitario
7. Si la #fibra textil #reciclada adquiere la escala deseada, podría ser incluso más barata que la original
8. La #industria quiere parte de los fondos #NextGenerationEU

Wanted to analyze #Pakistan's #export performance, benchmarking with structural and aspirational countries, along 4 dimensions - #growth, #diversification, #quality, #survival. Thread below: 👇👇👇
1/n Since the turn of the century, #Pakistan has become a more inward oriented economy, with exports/GDP falling from 16 to 10%.
2/n As a result, #Pakistan's share of world markets fell from 16USD to 12USD out of every 1000USD traded between 1990 and 2019. #Bangladesh moved from 5 to 18USD in the same period. #Vietnam from 14 to 113USD!!!

This is the 4th day of colab with @dStephenB thru @MuseumBuddy till now we have learnt how #Indian #soldiers were represented in #art in #England though not always accurately. We also saw how #European soldiers were depicted in #India #temples #woven #handembroidered #textiles
I’ll share some photos of #memorials of #british #soldiers in #India here are from the #afghanchurch in #mumbai it was the 1st Anglican Church in South #bombay started as a chapel. In 1838soldiers killed in the 1st#afghanwar were laid to rest here, then from the other 2wars ImageImageImageImage
This video is from South #parkstreetcemetery in #Calcutta with1600 tombs built in1767 for those employed with the #britisheastindiacompany not all soldiers. It’s probably the largest #cemetery in 19thcen outside #Europe #America #european men died around 30 years &women younger

As we proceed with our discussion on the representations of #soldiers in a variety of #media, specific to the #british army, #indiansepoys during the #worldwars @dStephenB unveils a set of #paintings and #posters this is part of our colab, a thrilling initiative by @MuseumBuddy
These are #handwoven #silk #saris made in #Murshidabad in #Bengal in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Called ‘Baluchari’ sari as they were woven in the land near the river Bhagirathi which flows by Murshidabad. ‘Balu’ means ‘sand’ & ‘char’ means ‘bank’ in #bangla #language ImageImageImage
If you look carefully at these saris, they depict #European #soldiers with their #armsandweapons in their #traditional #costume they definitely caught the fascination of the local #weavers yesterday we saw the soldiers on #femple #terracotta and now on #textiles @MuseumBuddy

Small textiles gripe
At a birthday party on Saturday, I was spinning on a drop spindle (as I do, in public, with downtime to fill). Two obviously clueless types sat down with wide-eyes, starting with the "what are you DOING??!" and so I started slowly, because I had a feeling ...
...I had a feeling they weren't a receptive audience. I was right. Woman A was captivated with, "It's like cotton candy!" repeated ad nauseum, for my wool/silk/bamboo blend. She continually exclaimed, "No one ever does this anymore, anywhere!"
