THREAD: In 2018 @PTIofficial seemed lost at sea, at least on the economic front.

From selling buffaloes to delaying the IMF program, self-inflicted wounds created uncertainty and sucked the air out of the economy.

Has the govt. finally gotten its act together?

Read below.

Since Imran Khan most recently gave his ministers six more months to improve performance, things have started to click.

- COVID-19 curve flattened
- FATF bills have been passed
- IPP contracts have been negotiated
- New shipping policy unveiled

The party has also perhaps achieved its biggest economic victory to date: renegotiating IPPs contract. On its own, this won't improve chronic issues like circular debt, but it is a major step in the right direction.

Now attention must shift towards T&D challenges in the sector.

Once the noise emerging from the ruling party declined, things began to look up.

Yes, you have the regular noise from the regular characters in the PTI, but overall, things have calmed down enough to move things forward.

They have moved from opposition mode to governance mode.

While there are green shoots emerging in the economy, a lot of work still needs to be done. One hopes that the focus remains and @PTIofficial builds momentum in the coming few months.
