The Federal Constitutional Court just struck down Section 7E, ending the tax on second and third properties. While the real estate sector celebrates, is this actually a win for Pakistan, or just another cycle of the real estate "Choona"?


In this episode of Dil Ki Baat, I am taking an "Urta Teer" to explain the macroeconomic reality behind this ruling. We break down the disparity between the heavily taxed salaried class and the tax-exempt real estate elite, the concept of "exit liquidity," and why I foresee a massive pump and dump cycle coming to the property market right as the IMF agreements proceed.


If you are thinking of parking your hard-earned cash in an unproductive plot to double your money, you need to watch this first.


Let me know your philosophy and logic in the comments below!
