Flying too high?

The Uraan Pakistan programme seems to be overly ambitious to me, when one considers the failure of previous such plans and the actual capabilities of the country. Raising exports to $60 billion in four years, enhancing tax to GDP to 13 per cent and promoting exports through promotion of Pakistan's national brands are all hard tasks, especially when these goals are set without suggesting viable structural economic reforms.
It is fine to hold such a level of optimism. But we need to review the hindrances that caused the failure of the previous economic plans and prioritise political stability, which is crucial to economic success, if this programme is to succeed.
