SUMMARY of the Article “SCO’s Future,” by Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Dawn, September 22nd, 2024

The article examines the upcoming heads of government meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to be hosted by Pakistan on October 15-16, 2024. The SCO, which originated from the Shanghai Five in 1996, has expanded over the years to include Pakistan, India, Iran, and Belarus. Representing nearly 80% of Eurasian landmass, 40% of the global population, and 30% of the world’s GDP, the SCO was initially seen as a potential land bridge between Asia and Europe, eliciting concerns from the West due to its perceived opposition to US-led global systems. However, internal dynamics, particularly India’s ambivalence towards the SCO, have weakened its cohesion. India, once a committed member, has begun to distance itself due to the organization’s perceived anti-Western stance, as seen in Prime Minister Modi’s absence from recent summits and a shift towards virtual engagements. India’s strained relations with China and Pakistan further complicate its role within the SCO, hampering initiatives like regional connectivity and anti-terrorism efforts.

According to the author, Rashid Amjad, the country needs to achieve a growth rate of at least 6% to reduce poverty, unemployment, and regional disparities. However, each time the economy attempts to grow at this pace, it faces a balance-of-payments crisis, resulting in the need for economic reforms. Contrary to popular belief, reforms are not forced upon Pakistan solely by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Instead, the country requires these reforms to address its irresponsible financial management, including high fiscal deficits, rising debts, and insufficient taxation. The author argues that if the ruling elite accepted the need for reforms and initiated durable economic changes, Pakistan could avoid relying on the IMF altogether. However, the political elite, who benefit from the current system, resist necessary reforms. The article also highlights the IMF’s approach, which sometimes exacerbates public hardships, as well as the loss of confidence from global markets and Pakistan’s international allies, such as China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. To overcome this situation, the author urges the formation of a coalition with the political will to implement reforms that have broad public support. This would restore
