Q.3 A dialogue took place between two economists is as follows:
Mr. A: The neo-classical model which is promoted by the IMF and its
followers in developing countries needs to be re-assessed. The
emphasis on macroeconomic stability, in particular controlling
inflation should not be at the expense of growth in the developing
countries such as Pakistan.
Mr. B: The issue of macro stability is also very important. If that is
ignored, the growth achieved shall falter in the long-run. I believe
we should first look at achieving stability and arresting
inflationary trend as major focus of our economic policy.
Mr. A: We can not over-look stability question. However, we should not
ignore more basic issues confronting our economy. Poverty rate
has jumped from 23.9% to 37.5% in the course of three years. We
need investment in infrastructure, human development projects
and for improving living standard of poorer sections of society.
Mr. B: I think if we are able to keep inflation and growing macro
economic imbalances in check, we may then adopt policies aiming
at achieving growth on sustainable basis.
Based on the above discussion, Answer the following questions:
i) Is there any trade-off between inflation and growth in Pakistan’s
