Subsidies – Is the expense worth the relief? | Junaid Iqbal | Pakistan & Counting | Ep 8

Do subsidies actually work, or are they a waste of money? Do electricity subsidies actually reach the poorest Pakistanis? Just how effective is Benazir Income Support Programme? This is the eighth episode in a new series of videos I will be hosting, to try and understand Pakistan’s economic situation and how we got here. Join me as we take a deep dive into Pakistan’s development challenges, and its economic potential. In this episode we will take a look at Pakistan’s subsidy spending, and whether this allocation of resources actually reaches the people it is meant to help.
