Pakistan Secures Billions in UAE Investments Led by Army Chief Munir
-
Pakistan's army chief General Asim Munir is being praised on social media for securing $20-25 billion in investment deals with the UAE.
-
The deals have boosted Pakistan's stock market and currency. Munir is being called a "hero", while the role of caretaker PM Anwaar ul Haq Kakar is downplayed.
-
The deals cover investments in areas like energy, ports, wastewater, food security, mining, aviation, and banking.
-
Some analysts say Munir is getting undue credit, as the deals would likely have happened regardless of his involvement.
-
Not everyone is convinced the deals will fix Pakistan's economic troubles, likening it to "filling a leaking utensil with water".
