Pakistan's historic national elections, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the winner facing a series of problems, including the faltering economic growth, worsening energy shortages and constantly being militants attacked.
Faltering economic growth: Economic growth of less than 4% growth rate, according to the latest government, which is the leadership of the Pakistan People's Party and governance. This is much lower than the rate in the previous administration, sometimes hovering near 7%. According to the latest government inflation soared about 25% per annum in some months. However, the inflation rate has declined last year, an average of 11%.
Energy shortage: a shortage of electricity, nearly doubled compared to the PPP and the previous government. Some places in Pakistan suffered power outages up to 18 hours a day in the summer. Also experienced a shortage of natural gas in the country, keenly felt in the winter, because so many people rely on natural gas for heating and chef. Spending on energy subsidies and failed public-owned enterprises has helped the SAP government funding, which is far less than they should because of poor tax collection. The combination of these factors means that the government will have to seek another unpopular bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) may.
Taliban attack military action against the Taliban, Pakistan has launched in the past five years in the country's northwest tribal areas along the Afghan border. The analyst said that the operation of U.S. drone attacks against militants in the tribal areas has resulted in a significant decline in the overall level of violence in 2011 and 2012. Taliban is still a potential threat, including during the campaign. The Group has carried out almost daily attacks candidates and offices, killing more than 130 people. Most of these militants targeted support action against the Taliban liberal secular parties. Radical Sunni Muslim militants in the minority Shiite sectarian violence has also deteriorated significantly in recent months.
