Solutions to tap real tax potentialARTICLE (July 30, 2010): We have been pointing out time and again that the actual tax potential of Pakistan is not less than Rs 4000-5000 billion, but during the budget announcement, the target for the current fiscal year was fixed at much lower figure of Rs 1667 billion (tax-to-GDP ratio of 9.8%). This shows how little Dr Hafeez Shaikh understands the potentialities of out tax base.

Afghan transit trade and smugglingARTICLE (July 30, 2010): There was a time when cargo exposed itself to possible damage due to perils of sea as it was mostly used to be shipped loose. If not covered by marine insurance policy, there was no way to recover, albeit partly, the losses on account of damage to cargo.

Chinese businesses became part of Spanish urban lifeARTICLE (July 30, 2010): Practically every neighbourhood in the Spanish capital Madrid has at least one shop like Ana's. Ana is not her real name, but like many Chinese entrepreneurs in Spain she uses a Spanish first name, which is easier for her clients to remember. Ana's shop on Colombia Street in north Madrid displays a sign that says "foodstuffs," but it is more like a mini-supermarket, offering products ranging from cleaning supplies to toiletries at rock-bottom prices.

Weak government, strong generalsARTICLE (July 29, 2010): In which other functioning democracy an army chief's appointment or extension in service gets as much importance as has the extension given to COAS General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani? None. The reason is simple. In democracies the power resides with elected governments which, like in the case of our next-door neighbour India, normally decide military appointments on the basis of seniority principle, and announce the same in a routine, unobtrusive way.

No vacancies: Australia rolling up welcome matARTICLE (July 29, 2010): There are a couple of lines in the national anthem that few Australians can sing with any real conviction. "For those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share. With courage let us all combine, to advance Australia fair." Australians tell opinion pollsters that the plains are far from boundless and the population is growing far too fast.

Summing up by-electionsARTICLE (July 28, 2010): The by-elections held in Punjab, NWFP and Balochistan this year indicate interesting trends that need to be taken note of. Voter turn out was generally lower than in general elections. The PPP and PML-N candidates, who won, managed to get fewer votes this time indicating a possible shrinkage in the two parties vote bank. While the two parties, ruling at the centre and in Punjab respectively, won most of the seats they contested, there were narrow wins at places.
