  4. Planning commission in India and Pakistan have been rocked incidently at the sametime by the poverty debates in both countires. Sadly both are due to data issues. When basic data on poverty is hidden from the masses on account of political sensitivity, making informed policy decisions becomes far more difficult.

  10. Trade-Poverty Nexus (Growth Commission Report)Connecting People and Places (Visa issues during India-Pakistan MFN talks)Youth must engage  it’s a young population…..while ICT empowers them…they need to be engaged at policy level…let youth write their own vision….Deverajan….Pakistani youth survey about entering political parties….Like preferential businessmen…special exchange of youth must take place. Borders should be erased for them…in the name of child curiosity.
  11. Learning from each other: Success of community-led projects in Pakistan such as Organi pilot project, success of NGO driven social protection framework in Bangladesh, success of post-conflict growth strategy in Sri Lanka, managing conflict-induced migration in urban areas of Nepal. Learning from China: We still don’t know how SA will behave in response to volitility in chinese economy. Yesterday we saw two very different views…while some said that Chinese growth was good for SA exports, an exporter from BAN got up and said that we have zero beneift of any trading arrangements with China. Need to thrash out moreCosts of non-cooperation: Yesterday Sri Lanka’s Senior Minister informed that India is not representing the views of South Asia in G-20 on the other hand we see Pakistan and Bangladesh protesting with EU about any possible India-EU trade relations that are preferential. So SA’s countries are still fighting on foreign turf and not on SAARC platform.
  12. Services-led growth will only be sustainable if your services are tradeable…the most easiest way to trade services is with you neighbours. We hope that some consensus is quickly reached regarding the SA frameowrk on trade in services. In the interest of food security the current trade regulations should be particularly facilitated. Only 4 percent is intra-regional agriculture trade. All the talk about food bank will not work until you have buffer management and each country complies to it strictly. The talk about food security not embedded in macroeconomic policies.
