Combating Currency Smuggling: A Priority for Pakistan’s Economic Stability

It’s the responsibility of the government to address the issue of currency smuggling as soon as possible. Implementing taxes on illegal activities may serve as a deterrent, but a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the problem is likely to be more effective. Prioritizing the “Pakistan first” policy by tackling smuggling is important for the overall stability and development of the country. Blaming others for the problem is not productive and the government needs to take action to address the issue.

Securing porous borders and stopping illegal activities, such as hundi (informal cross-border trade), can be challenging. It requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the problem, such as economic and security issues, and involves cooperation between various agencies and countries. Simply stopping hundi is not a viable solution, as it may lead to further tensions and even conflict with neighboring countries. It is important to find a balance between security concerns and economic needs and to work towards finding mutually beneficial solutions that promote stability and prosperity in the region.
