It would be helpful if financial journalists support allegations they make against certain productive segments, of under invoicing or otherwise, with solid evidence. Casting aspersions willy nilly serves little purpose other than to demonstrate a lack of investigative rigour

It would be also useful for major newspapers editors to see if their writers subjective opinions have stand up to the test of being logically coherent. If for example a writer claims that remittances are going because exports are being under-invoiced, it would suggest greater

exports growth than officially being stated. Also given that most exports receipts not only get tax concessions but also other benefits, why should exporters try to understate it?

It would be interesting to know how the below article arrives at following:
- rs 2 trillion of handouts? How is fall in interest rates, driven by SBP monetary policy & inflation expectations, a freebie?
- the Rs 186bn of ‘black money’? https://www.dawn.com/news/1601364/is-the-economy-recovering

Finally, it would be good to know how does the @dawn_com editorial board work? Is there no fact checks on what is published in the paper? It would appear to be the paper for Trump to publish an OpEd about elections being stolen since no other paper would publish blatant untruths
