Pakistan has lost every single option to keep its economy afloat. The US has stopped helping Pakistan and after its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the US is unlikely to even get blackmailed by Islamabad. China keeps looting it anyway, so asking for financial help from Beijing isn’t a great idea. Turkey is in too much trouble itself and can’t help Pakistan.
So, Islamabad is left with Arabs. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has often approached Saudi Arabia with a begging bowl. And Riyadh often helps Pakistan for old times’ sake. But now Riyadh has had enough of it. It has thrown Pakistan’s begging bowl in the garbage can now.
Saudi investments in Pakistan unlikely to materialise
Pakistan’s economy is debt-ridden and unimpressive. No one wants to invest in the country because of its bleak prospects.
Therefore, Pakistan had tried to rope in Saudi Arabia. Imran was pinning his hopes on Riyadh to ramp up Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) had even signed a proposed $20 billion investment deal with Pakistan during his visit to Islamabad.
A $10 billion Saudi Aramco oil refinery was also supposed to come up in Pakistan, as a part of Saudi Arabia’s long-term investments in the country. This would have been a huge relief for Islamabad which is facing a constant decline in foreign investments. However, neither Aramco nor the other investments have materialised.

Saudi companies reluctant to step into Pakistan
Imran Khan has been desperately begging Saudi Arabia to make investments in Pakistan. During the Saudi-Pakistan Investment Forum in October last year, he had again urged Saudi companies and entrepreneurs to invest in Pakistan.
Saudi companies have however complained that Pakistan doesn’t offer appropriate business conditions. They claim that the country doesn’t have adequate infrastructures such as water, gas/power, and connectivity. They are also concerned about red tape in Pakistan and say that the inefficient institutional setup in the country leads to corruption.
And then there are several other issues too like delayed departmental approvals and clearances and lack of local financing options.
Additionally, Saudi entrepreneurs are concerned about the lack of quality compliance by Pakistani companies. All foreign companies need high-quality subcontractors in the host country, which Pakistan is simply incapable of offering.
The lack of skilled labour in Pakistan too is a reason why Saudi investors don’t want to step into Pakistan. At the end of the day, Saudi investors understand that Pakistan with all its corruption, outdated infrastructure, social strife, violence, and substandard local businesses is no place to do business. This is why Saudi investments have failed to materialise in the country.
MBS settling scores with Imran Khan
Even MBS isn’t willing to intervene and help Pakistan. He is irked by Pakistan’s tantrums.
Pakistan has repeatedly nudged Saudi Arabia to take an anti-India stance on Kashmir. But Riyadh has been sternly refusing to do so. And this is creating friction between Islamabad and Riyadh.

In diplomacy, Pakistan often backstabs the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It has repeatedly got into bed with Turkey, a regional rival of the Arabs. Pakistan finds more in common with Ankara when it comes to propagating radicalism.

In 2020, a miffed Saudi Arabia had even ended a loan and associated oil facility to Pakistan. Islamabad had to repay a Saudi loan of 1 billion US dollars due to Pakistan’s constant threats of forming a new alliance with Turkey and threatening the Arab leadership of the Muslim world.
A desperate Pakistan often threatens to move away from the Arabs and find a new godfather for itself. So, MBS sent across a loud and clear message- enough of your tantrums, I am throwing your begging bowl in the trash can and you are now free to beg at the doorsteps of your new godfather.
Akshay Narang, Do you think your cheap blog will grow with these cheap tactics to target Pakistan… I know in India anything against Pakistan is getting attention from Endians but its not gonna work…
They are Indiots.
Indians never leave the opportunity to humiliates Pakistan, such a extremists and conservative minds..
You people always afraid from Pakistan but your cheap kind of words and articles can never denied that
INDIA IS ON TOP IN RAPE RATIO
INDIA IS ON TOP IN MOST POVERTY
INDIA IS THE ONLY ONE COUNTRY WHERE THEY HAVE ISSUE OF TOILETS
and the most important
INDIA IS ONLY ONE COUNTRY WHERE OTHER RELIGION PEOPLE ARE NOT SAFE
So you can’t run with the truth man
Hope you enjoy it
Highest rape rates are Chrislamist countries in Americas and some Muslim countries. Most rapes in India are because of Muslims. Islam teaches it is good to rape non-muslims. Your religion is sick. Poverty rate and toilet access are about same in Pakistan and India.
stop your izlsmic drivel, you are all brainwashed converts of the middle eastern death cult of a pedo profit.
Why you indians are so scared from Pakistan. This kind of cheap articles shows your media training and standards.. Very Conservative approach but its not gonna work..

You don’t even have the article writing skills dumbo. No research nothing and just writing nonsense stories
Indeed we are in difficult time and it’s not new for Muslims nation. We believe on life after death which is wholy soly for Muslims only so no matter what now.
They are our brothers we helping each other since 70 years in different ways.
No one can underestimate pakistan!!
It’s our responsibility to respect every nation as you can see what kind of photo you share very shameful
Mr. Akshay what kind of shit in your mind as you and your nation always playing dirty game. Are you educated person??????
dear all
wisdom is to see future. We are all humans and we are free to set our goals in the life. for both sides love each other. when you see something translate it properly as your given a duty to pergprm with honesty. failing in performing your duty is called curption and the consequences cant be tolerated. pen with power to write is a duty from God be honest both of you and love eachother.
Very bad article
Collection of fiction lies
Opposite to reality
Cheapest and dirty mind thinking and dreams
Forget distracting the people and use propaganda against pakistan, just make some effort to set your own house in order which is doing down like shuttering peice of cards.
Mr Akshay claims Patriot how can a biased patriot be an Analyst giving balanced opinion Why are indians obsessed with Pakistan are we a thorn in their flesh or an obstacle to their hegemony
I am unable to understand the mentality of person like you. Your kind live in hate and in the end burned in fire and scattered everywhere. So this is your fate and you have to live with it and end up in flames.
We need to stop constantly attacking Pakistan, pay attention to improving our own country. Corrupt politicians and businesses continue to suck the lifeblood of the poor. Politics and the rich who commit crimes never to go to jail. Raja and Kanimozhi walk around enjoying their loot while our poor suffer. We need equal justice for all. Without justice, we cannot call ourselves a civilized nation. Schools and hospitals for the poor are in deplorable condition.
There is nothing like fiction in this article unfortunately this is entirely true but we will surely come out of hard times in near future by the grace of almighty Allah.
Good
Then only Pakistan will stand up
Mr Akshay reflects the mentality of Hindetwa, which is being implemented in his country & being observed by the whole world, I think there is no need comment on such a cheap thinking, it’s waste of time only.
لماذا هؤلاء الهندوس يكذبون فقط؟ يبدو أن والدتهم تعلمت التحدث بالكذب والهراء فقط.
Total nonsense Akhshay. You even do not know what to write and how to write.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are one soul with two bodies.
India is going to be broken for it’s atrocities on Muslims christians Sikhs and other minorities.
Soon Kashmir will be off Indians..hands.
At the end This is the filth inside you that is coming out. Nothing is going to happen with your barking and conspiracies. Sala lundy da philosopher 😂
Stupid fashict moodi and his stupid followers..
Taking indina into rogue state.
Wait! A bigger bowl is being ready by Modiji for India. How long this Godi media will keep barking Anti Muslims, Anti Pakistani and Anti Islam Mandir Masjid.
Randian or indians
Idiots or indians
The stupidity has reached another level. I guess the writer is lost between facts and frustration.
The link to Facebook doesn’t work and twitter 2 followers and he writes about us. I assume another Indian chronicle…..Paid artist
Writer seems to know investor’s mind so clearly but I could’nt find a single proof of his claim.
He acts like a Angry desi Aunti. I know all indians are not like this but what a Baboon ^_^
A country on the verge of Genocide, is interested in it’s neighborhood! Hail Modi, Amit and the likes.
We wish Modi to live long to destroy India. Indian’s will destroy Indian by themselves. Our God is one his Name is Allah is inaf to save Pakistan. Long live Pakistan. Inshallah.
Your god is named ullu. Ullu Akbar is a better god for you Muslims. At least practical and less attachment to that White Arab the Child Rapist Mohammad.
Most of the comments are from Porkistani’s who are having Burnol moments. Good one TFI, you guys are making an impact.
Agreed.
too many porkistani tattis in the comment section. how they manage time out of their fabulous gadha business. someday these tattis should be asked to explain their time management at a press conference in kabbul.
