When one decides to live in Pakistan, one automatically assumes the country risk. One could decide to diversify this risk, purely in financial terms, by deciding to invest outside, however, people have lived and passed their lives in this part of the world. As already mentioned above, Pakistan has always been on crossroads or at a take off stage. Nevertheless, some things have gone her way and some have not.
There have been so many other instances in other parts of the world; one gunman decides one day to shoot 32 people in virginia on campus, bomb explosion in Turkey, Basque separatist shootings in Spain etc etc to quote few in very recent times. I guess this is how the world is, uncertain. Absurd reasons have been quoted above predicting property crash; that is all i would like to comment on the above listed reasons, however, reminds me of some incidents that might help some people deciding to sell their properties cheap. During Kargil and many other crises that ensued, some people bought the cheapest properties and stocks one could acquire in his or lifetime. The point is that when deciding to live in Pakistan and assuming the country risk, these crises will come and leave, as in any other part of the world, so think twice before selling your valuables very cheap. My two cents and regards to all. |
