Cyprus- Bailing out Economic Bubble

Paul Krugman summarizes the origins of Cyprus' problems in (here): the banking system, a housing bubble and an overvaluation. He says that it was as “if Cyprus has managed to combine in one place everything that has gone wrong elsewhere”. One could add policymaking to it.

I’m from a country that had (and has) “creative” policymakers. We’ve seen a lot here. Especially during hyperinflation-years. But, what I see emerging from a small island can put all the wrong Brazilian attempts behind. It just scares me.

The way out found by Cypriot policymakers was to tax deposits to help pay the bills. I’m not kidding. They’ve decided to impose a suddenly loss of wealth in country lacking competitiveness (the overvaluation issue), whose problems emerged from the banking system, though it still depends on financial services, while housing prices are correcting the distortions brought by a housing bubble. But there’s more. It is a country that does NOT have monetary policy to fight recession and whose government finances are problematic.

If it wasn’t enough, it brings the fear of a banking run. A banking holiday was instituted to contain the damage. Well, good policies would be a better way for containing the damage. Furthermore, it raises problems outside of the island. Cyprus participates in a monetary arrangement called Euro zone.

The Cypriot policy brings uncertainty to what could happen in other problematic countries. The possibility of a banking run in Cyprus, or the mere thought that something similar could be done in another country, could trigger the end of the time brought by Mario Draghi’s whatever it takes.  

The problems in the Euro Zone were far from being resolved, but at least markets were calm enough to provide European policymakers time to waste. I wonder what’s coming.

Ali Gul Pir - Wadera ka beta song misled Saeens

 Recently social web blockbuster song "Wadere ka beta" by Ali Gul Pir was on every lips across Pakistan. Everyone were considering it as a revolutionary song against feudalism in Pakistan.But it was noticed that young feudalist picked this song as honor for them.Son of Wadera listens song proudly in his hammer.Example of Shahzeb murder case by Wadera Shahrukh Jatoi can viewed as reflection of this song where Shahrukh believing himself as "Shahrukh Khan" killed Shahzeb to show world that he is the Boss & he can do anything in Pakistan, no one can even mess with him.Interestingly the name of song's character is "AKBAR JATOI" and before killing Shazeb in mouth firing between Shahrukh & Shahzeb, Shahrukh was found proclaiming that he is "Shahrukh Jatoi" (so called AKBAR JATOI of song) and proudly declaring himself Wadera of the region and threatening Shahrukh of bad results clashing with feudals.Actually Shahrukh (Wadera) servant misbehaved Shahzeb's sister before all these back-clash.When Shahzeb went for complaining servants act to Shahrukh, he refused Shahzeb considering himself a President of white house and his servant as a Raymond Davis..like songs words "SAEEN TO SAEEN- SAEEN KA KUTTA BHI SAEEN".But he 've totally forgot that he is living in 21st century, especially in Metropolitan city like KARACHI where he can do everything which a wadera can do in his interior Sindh self control State.He can treat his inhabitants like animals but in cities like Karachi where people consider these waderas like Donkey not else, he can not do anything.

Shahrukh who escaped Dubai earlier after the murder is now in Jail. He came back due to PPP influence on his father coz his father has remained MPA in Sindh assembly as PPP candidate.So PPP was in criticism after this case & they convinced Shahrukh's father to bring back him Pakistan in  promise to release him safely when people 'll forgot the case.But he should remember that there is no Guarantee of 2 things: 1. Chinese product & 2. PPP government's promise.

I think Shahrukh Jatoi has made biggest blunder after coming back Pakistan & giving himself in custody.Although he has seen as living in a wonder world in jail, he is giving all luxuries of life in Jail but election is near & if PPP loses election Shahrukh could has to lose his life as Halter order by court.
