As the head of Citigroup’s emerging markets public equity investments unit based in London from 2001 to 2005, he helped Citigroup manage its over US $2 billion proprietary equity portfolio in the emerging markets of Asia, Latin America, Central/Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. Before this assignment, he also served as a Director of Citibank’s strategic planning group during the 1990s. Since 2006, he has written many articles on Pakistan’s political and economic issues with a particular focus on the developments in an international context. His interest in politics dates back to his student days as a political activist when he worked against General Zia-ul Haq’s martial law in 1977. His experience in the developing countries spanned across several areas of international finance. He did his Bachelor's degree in administrative studies and an MBA in international finance and economics from York University in Toronto. He currently spends his time on advising his clients on their international investments and strategy.

In a very coherent and lucid manner, citing eye-opening facts and figures, Yousuf Nazar was warning all those who cared to ponder about the economic debacle that stared Pakistan in the face. I immediately phoned Zubeida Mustafa of DAWN to ask ‘Who is Yousuf Nazar, how can I speak to him’? Very kindly she found out and gave me his telephone number. At that moment, I was keen to know from Yousuf Sahib what had triggered the sudden and steep down turn of the economy soon after the induction of the new Government. He said that he had been elaborating in his articles in DAWN since 2006 that the economy of Pakistan was extremely vulnerable. The current precipitous fall had been in the making for some time and that the new government and the one preceding it failed to take even rudimentary steps to lessen its ferocity. The government economists believed and elaborated ad nauseam that there is nothing seriously wrong with the economic policies pursued by them. The fundamentals of Pakistan’s economy are sound. The crisis like the present one arise due to international factors such as rise in oil prices, changes in interest rates, paucity of loans etc. Many among of our present day economists subscribe to the Donald Reagan’s mantra of privatisation, deregulation and globalisation. They allege that Pakistan’s economic woes are the result of wrong policies of Islamabad: high budget deficits, faulty taxation system, and deficient infrastructure development, low rates of savings, rampant corruption and failure to develop export-led growth patterns and more… They argue that had Pakistan fully and honestly adhered to the policies of the ‘market economy’ it had promised with International Financial Institutions it would have fared better. Yousuf Nazar, on the other hand, believes that the fundamental reasons for economic plight of Pakistan go far beyond what appears in the current literature on economy. The strategic relationship of the ruling elites with foreign political and economic powers, the absence of the rule of law, frequent unconstitutional interventions by the military, compliant judiciary and political leadership are responsible not only for the severe economic problems but also strike at the stability of the state itself. Inflationary trends, high unemployment rates, rising debt, high poverty levels are the symptoms and not the cause of the present economic scene. Who are our ruling elites? Who amongst the ruling elites exercises the supreme authority? Why they are so inextricably linked with foreign powers and their interests? Finally what needs to be done to break this ‘vicious cycle’ as the author puts it and transfer sovereign authority from the elites to a democratic polity are some of the basic questions facing the country. The ruling elites are found in two categories: those exercise legal power to rule and those who are beneficiaries, extra-ordinaire, of assisting and supporting those elites who directly exercise political power. In this second category fall industrialists, bankers, members of higher judiciary, i landlords, sardars, pirs, big traders, media and real estate barons, top notch lawyers, doctors, managers, accountants, members of parliament when in office, big political leaders in office or opposition and retired senior civil and military officers. The first category comprises the combine of civil and military officers. It is the civil authority at the district level and below which principally governs the country through a huge apparatus of police, magistrate, jails, revenue collector and intelligence network. The civil is the principal repository of the coercive power of the state. The military is the protector of the last resort of the civil authority. The intelligence and assessment of the state of ‘law and order’ plays a crucial role for the military to come into action. The compact between the elites of Pakistan and the United States and its allies is wholly one sided. Despite all the assurances for national security, the US has never helped Pakistan in any war. Indeed, it has stopped the supply of military and economic aid at most crucial times for Pakistan. It is absolutely essential for the elites as well as the people to scrap the compact that has been in operation for more than half a century. The country’s economic woes must be assessed merely not in terms of the knowledge of the science of economy but as the author advises in the light of political economy Mubashir Hasan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publisher’s note: Dr Mubashir Hasan was Pakistan’s Finance Minister during 1971-74. He is a founding member and former Secretary General of the Pakistan Peoples Party. He was a close associate of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. ii Preface to the revised edition The first edition, published in March 2008, was titled The Gathering Storm. This related to an article I wrote in 2006. It is with a heavy heart that I have changed the title for this revised edition as my worst fears have become more than just that. Pakistanis are suffering from an experience that has been the most traumatic since the breakup of Pakistan in 1971. While the so- called “War on Terror” has taken its toll, the response of the ruling classes bears more responsibility for the nation’s despondent mood and low morale. Pakistanis have never been so unsure about their identity and the future. The Pakistani army has 147,000 troops fighting militants in the tribal areas.
