The rejection of the decision by the federal cabinet to upscale trade with India a day after the Economic Coordination Committee had voted in its favour demonstrates the intersection of politics and other considerations in the country’s economic policymaking. It is not for the first time that the Imran Khan government has abruptly altered its view on important economic policy decision; it just brings out the entrenched confusion in the economic policymaking process of the present government more prominently. The indecisiveness within the ranks of the government over which economic route it wants to take also shows up in the frequent changes in the political and bureaucratic leadership of its finance team.
