A wave of protests has erupted throughout the Middle East. Unrest started from Tunisia than Egypt and Libya and has now reached in other parts of the region. As the world has become a global village and different countries are so inter-connected that, events which are taking place in one part of the world, have its impacts in many areas of the world, and consequences can be seen in other countries as well. Pakistan has closed cultural, political and economical ties with almost all countries of the Middle East. So it is quite obvious that Middle East crises affect Pakistan especially as far as Pakistans economy is concerned. Because many Pakistanis are immigrants of middle eastern countries and in most of the cases are the primary and only source of income for their families living in Pakistan. Remittances or transferof money from Pakistanis immigrants communities or Pakistani nationals living abroad to their families and friends living in Pakistan, played a significant role for their families, and remittances households are better-off as non-remittance ones. Remittances also plays an important and significant role in developing Pakistans economy. Pakistan presently has the highest growth of remittances in the world which is the largest source of foreign exchange in the country. Pakistans economy is highly dependent on transferring of money from Middle Eastern Pakistanis. So the unrest of Middle East is a big problem for Pakistans economy, as families are dependent on their members jobs and remittances abroad, who are sending them money to meet their economical needs. Price of oil is also doubled as unrest spread throughout the region. Pakistan is also dependent for the supply of oil on Middle East. If crises in the middle east persists and Pakistani immigrants communities have to come back, it would raise the rate of unemployment in Pakistan, which is already a matter of serious concern for the government. Now it is the responsibility of Pakistans government to take the matter seriously and try to defuse the negative effects of crisis in the Middle East. This matter must be considered by macroeconomicexperts and policies should be determined so that economy of our state can be prevented from an unexpected collapse. RIFFAT RAEES, Karachi, April 2.
