Jamal Nasir, SEVP, Group Head HR, United Bank Limited visited Lahore School of Economics and gave a talk about Talent Management at UBL as a part of Distinguished Professional Lecturer series.


Jamal Nasir started with his personal experiences and narrated how the little voice inside him drove him to switch from engineering to HR, as he had a good experience with this field. He briefed students about the talent management process of UBL. He also gave a presentation on talent identification and classification, and how the bank prefers that “outcome is more important than the tag,” – the tag being the classifications in the bank, which owes to the performance driven culture at UBL. He maintained that the learning and development process has been able to help employees perform better at the bank.

Jamal later talked about the Management Trainee Program and the Retail Banking Officers training program. On the side note, the Group Head mentioned a trend of many students wanting to join Corporate Banking. He further threw light on the fact that in these days, Retail Banking is where banks needed more people.


With a vast experience in HR and with a prolific career, Jamal advised students to always reflect on themselves. “Know yourself and your strengths” was an important aspect of reflecting. In doing so a person would be able to find out what kinds of roles they can play. He asked the students to never stop learning and to keep a positive attitude. For their careers, he mentioned that the students should always volunteer and get noticed, build networks and do not jump around from job to job in short bursts.

The session was followed by an interactive questions and answers session.

The CEO also talked about what type of jobs to choose in the early stages of a career. He mentioned that it was important to get the right experience rather than the right salary package. He also added that it was always better to be an extrovert, and network with professionals, as networking could make wonders for a career.

For the entrepreneurs at the Lahore School, Monis Rahman advised them to “fail quickly,” when coming up with ideas for their own business, always be ready to “pivot” – shift position – towards where growth is, and always be innovative. By failing, he explained, entrepreneurs would be able to learn from the mistakes and come up with new ways to find success. He also recommended minimizing risk in the beginning. “Do today, what others will say five years later, ‘I wish I had done that five years ago’,” he said to the students, and “Don’t wait for anyone to do it for you,” to motivate the students.

Lahore School Conference on Management of the Pakistan Economy


The second day of the Eighth Annual Conference on Management of the Pakistan Economy hosted by the Lahore School of Economics was devoted to discussions on the means and channels of accelerating economic growth in Pakistan. The first session of the day highlighted Pakistan’s strategic importance and its trade relations with its neighbours, particularly India, China, UAE, and Afghanistan. Dr Ijaz Nabi, Country Director, International Growth Centre, Pakistan opened the session proposing regional trade as a vent for economic growth. He provided a historical overview of Pakistan’s trade relations with its neighbours, stating that there still exist substantial economic surpluses in Central Asian Republics, India, China and Iran that Pakistan can profitably exploit. He also shed light on the issue of the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status granted by Pakistan to India on February 29, 2012, saying that gainers far outweigh losers in trade liberalisation with India.




Furthering the discussion on the prospects for Indo-Pak trade, Dr. Hafeez Pasha, Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Beacon House National University (BNU) also supported the liberalisation of trade with India terming it as an out-of-the-box injection into the stagnant Pakistan economy. While he agreed that there existed strong tariff and non-tarrif trade barriers in India, he stated that there also existed strong trade complementarities and trade diversion possibilities for Pakistan with India, which can greatly help Pakistan to reduce its import bill and improve its overall balance of payments position.


Dr. Naved Hamid, Director, Centre for Research in Economics and Business, Lahore School of Economics, summarised the various opportunities and pitfalls for Pakistan in trading with neighbours: China, UAE, and Afghanistan. He stated that the general perception that most of Pakistan’s trade (excluding oil imports) is with USA, Europe, Japan, is no longer true as in 2010 trade with neighbors (including China) accounted for 25% of Pakistan’s exports and 35% of the imports. He concluded the session by remarking that the only way Pakistan can get sustained economic growth is to change the mindset of the people from security focus to an economic focus.


The second session aimed at analysing immediate constraints and long term triggers for economic growth in Pakistan. This session focused essentially on steps needed to achieve a quantum leap in private investment activity (domestic as well as foreign) and promote domestic entrepreneurship in Pakistan. Dr. Kamal Munir, University Senior Lecturer in Strategy, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, commented on one of the most pertinent issue of energy politics, providing an assessment of the privatisation of the energy sector in Pakistan. He said that it is time to revisit the private power policy paradigm again in Pakistan’s context. Competition will remain a pipe-dream and unless this changes, reforms cannot be pro-poor. He proposed that the bulk of energy needs should be indigenously produced and controlled, as relying overwhelmingly on imported fuel and foreign investors exposes Pakistan to massive risks. Providing another perspective to the issue, Mr. Asad Umar, Former CEO Engro Corp., stated that the immediate threats to Pakistan included difficult access to capital, energy crisis and institutional decay. On the positive front, he remarked that the long term triggers for economic growth in Pakistan are a strong consumer base, wealth of natural resources, and a geo-strategic location. Mr. Sakib Sherani, Former Principal Economic Advisor, Ministry of Finance, Pakistan, added to the discussion by listing further potential growth drivers: Energy availability, Better governance, Improved investment environment, Reverse capital flight, Lower tax rates for formal sector, Greater resource availability for high-priority spending, Improvements in Agricultural productivity, Regional connectivity, and Freeing land markets.


Dr. Syed M. Turab Hussain, Assistant Professor, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, LUMS, concluded the session by identifying and analysing major constraints faced by the industry in Punjab. According to him, the major constraints included Access to Finance, Access to land, Business licensing and permits, Corruption, Crime, theft and disorder, Customs and trade regulations, Electricity, Functioning of courts, Inadequately educated workforce, Labor regulations, Macroeconomic instability, Political Instability, Practices of competitors in the informal sector, Tax administration, and Tax rates.

The final session of the conference attempted to discuss the issue of making Provincial Devolution work in Pakistan. Dr. Ishrat Hussain, Dean and Director, Institute of Business Administration, opened the session by providing an outline of the 18th amendment to the Constitution, the NFC award of 2010 and the Implementation Commission headed by Senator Raza Rabbani which has helped clarify the structure, roles, responsibilities between the Federal and the Provincial governments. He suggested the creation of a District Civil Service structure in addition to the existing All Pakistan, Federal and Provincial Services to help improve the effectiveness of the delivery of services at the local level. Dr. Anwar Shah, Director, Center for Public Economics, Chengdu, China and the Distinguished Professor of Economics, South western University of Finance and Economics, took the discussion forward by providing arguments about whether 18th Constitutional Amendment served as a glue or solvent for nation building and citizenship in Pakistan. He asserted that there is a need for a more thoughtful implementation of the 18th Amendment, with the federal government focusing on federal functions. He proposed some fundamental reforms including fiscal responsibility framework for federal, provincial and local governments, civil service, land reforms, tax and expenditure and government organization, right to information, and bottom up accountability.


Dr. Aisha Pasha, Director, Institute of Public Policy, BNU, commenting on the initial impact of devolution stated that the 7th NFC Award has empowered the provinces by increasing financial resources, but the danger is that it can increase the consolidated fiscal deficit. Both levels of government will have to respond to the new dispensation. She believed that 18th Amendment had the potential of changing the structure of governance, but the way it is implemented, effective decentralization has been effectively postponed. Dr. Musharaff Rasool Cyan, Research Associate, International Centre for Public Policy, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, finally concluded the session by reconciling the opposites of local accountability and civil service career incentives in Pakistan. He stated that there is a demand for management skills, initiative, planning and decision making, earlier confined to mostly public order situations. In addition there are twin challenges of meeting programmatic outputs as well as responding to local democracy.

Eighth Annual Conference on Management of the Pakistan Economy

 

Amidst distinguished economists, academicians and policymakers from both the national and international platform, the Lahore School of Economics hosted its Eighth Annual Conference on Management of the Pakistan Economy at its Main Burki Campus. The theme of this Conference was “Towards Accelerated Economic Growth: Its Need and Feasibility”, with the first day of the Conference being devoted to discussions on the challenges and constraints faced in accelerating economic growth in Pakistan.

Dr Shahid Amjad Chaudhry, Rector, Lahore School of Economics, inaugurated the Conference by welcoming all the speakers and guests. He remarked that the timing of this year’s Conference fit well with the need of the hour as all the issues the Conference aimed to address are very relevant to the issues confronted by Pakistan’s economy at present.


The opening session of the Conference focused on A Heterodox Strategy for Stabilisation and Economic Growth. The first speaker, Dr Irfan ul Haque, Special Advisor, Financing for Development, South Centre, Geneva, remarked that a strategy for accelerated growth for Pakistan is both necessary and feasible as Pakistan’s macroeconomic conditions are broadly similar to some of its more rapidly growing neighbours. In light of this, Dr Irfan proposed a Heterodox Scenario, which showed that macroeconomic adjustments can be phased over the next few years and will be easier to make if the economy were to grow more rapidly. He, however, stressed that for accelerated growth to materialise, as a minimum, determined steps are needed to overcome the energy crisis, sharply raise the investment rate (particularly, private investment), and strengthen Pakistan’s competitiveness in the world market.

Carrying forward the discussion on Pakistan’s growth strategy, Dr S. Akbar Zaidi, Visiting Professor, School of International Public Affairs, Columbia University, presented a critical analysis of the Planning Commission’s Framework for Economic Growth launched a year ago(May 2011). According to him, the Framework avoids tackling core issues of taxation, distribution and equity, and privileges the market and free enterprise over the role of the state. It undermines and dismisses the significant role and contribution of government and the state in promoting growth in Pakistan. Therefore, Dr Zaidi termed this document of the Planning Commission as a “technicist script which has little value to the messy world of real politics”.


The second session of the day discussed the Economic Growth-Employment-Poverty Nexus. Dr Ashwani Seth, Professor, Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam presented some agnostic reflections on the “new notion of inclusive growth”. Dr. Rashid Amjad, Vice Chancellor, Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) presented an overview of the macroeconomic performance of Pakistan from 1980-2011 stating that Pakistan is currently experiencing stagflation: high inflation accompanied by high unemployment and poverty. He stated that even today there are in Pakistan between 20 to 30 million people living in absolute poverty (Rs.55 a day) and around 3.5 million unemployed, implying that poverty and employment issues need to be urgently addressed. Dr Amjad further commented that the overwhelming expected negative impact of low growth, high double digit inflation, poverty and crippling energy shortages on the labour market were to some extent cushioned by very large increase in remittances by the Pakistan diaspora, improved terms of trade for agriculture and possibly Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and other support programmes. He believed that there is a strong need to analyze labour market and poverty issues taking into account the dynamics of and structural changes in the Pakistan economy with an ‘open’ mind rather than pre-conceived fixed position.


Dr Moazzam Mahmood, Director, Economic and Labour Market Analysis Department, International Labour Office, took the discussion further by elaborating upon global growth, employment, and macro policy options in 2012, especially for Pakistan. He believed that in light of the economic crisis faced, Pakistan should increase investment especially public investment. He stated that private savings in Pakistan are greater than private investments resulting in capital outflows from the economy. Therefore, there is a need to provide political security for this capital so that it is channelled towards propelling economic growth.

The next session of the day was devoted to discussions on International Competitiveness for Sustainable Growth. Sikander Rahim, Former Principal Economist, World Bank pointed out that there has been a fair amount of industrial development in Pakistan but it has given rise to disappointingly little increase of income. Mr. Rahim proposed that acquiring technology through collaboration and subcontracting is a plausible opportunity for Pakistan. This is because subcontracting manufactured components for foreign firms has the advantage that it is difficult to discriminate against the products in the way that textiles and ethanol have been discriminated against because they are parts of other products. In the long run its advantage is that stable subcontracting relations can expand production of more complex articles for which the Pakistani subcontractors get more value added and joint ventures with investment by the foreign partners.

Analysing factors that hinder export competitiveness of manufacturers in Pakistan Dr.Ejaz Ghani, Chief of Research and Dean, Faculty of Economics, Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, identified that at the macro level, GDP growth, level of industrialization, real effective exchange rate and physical infrastructure are the key drivers of export performance. He further stated that quality certification and adherence to health, labor, and environment standards is still a problem for exporters. A number of institutional rigidities, market imperfection, weaknesses in physical infrastructure, and lack of general business environment are features commonly perceived by firms as hurdles in export competitiveness.


Dr Azam Chaudhry,Dean, Faculty of Economics, Lahore School of Economics furthered the discussion by looking at local and international factors that affect firm entry and survival in Pakistan. His analysis showed that more export sector firms will enter in highly concentrated industries, firm entry and survival increases significantly as a result of a depreciation in the trade weighted real exchange rate, and potential new firms tend to be larger in districts with more medium sized firms. Dr. Chaudhry asserted that even though there is an obvious temptation for policy makers to promote industrial development in less developed regions, higher income areas suit new entrants and existing firms better.


The following speaker, Dr Matthew McCartney, Lecturer, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, stated that competitiveness has become a mantra and organizing framework for much of government policymaking in Pakistan and beyond. However, despite its intuitive appeal, Dr McCartney asserted that competitiveness is a dangerous, distorting and dead end obsession. Concluding the session, Dr Theresa Chaudhry, Associate Professor, Lahore School of Economics, presented an overview of the geography of misallocation in Punjab, stating that firms’ productivity levels are significantly different from average productivity levels.
