Sources of Foreign Financial Assistance

I.M.F: I.M.F provides relatively short to medium term loans for government to finance their trade deficit etc. The amount of loan depends on the amount of international trade which a country does.

World Bank: World Bank provides long term loans. These loans are provided for financing the long term development projects. These loans are very helpful as they mature in a long time and granted for development as it is very difficult to get finance development for a longer period.

ADB: ADB stands for Asian Development Bank. As the name suggests, it provides loans for development as well as for industries to the developing Asian countries.

Direct Lending from Rich Countries: Apart from financial institutions, many countries provide loans to the developing countries. America and Japan provide loans to many countries and Pakistan has repeatedly borrowed from America.

Political Obstacles

Feudalism: In rural areas, feudal not only have huge wealth but also have unlimited power. Their area power is another state in a bigger state. Their rein continues in perpetuity from one generation to another.

Law and Order Situation: Law and order situation in Pakistan has been very poor especially in a large metropolitan and hub of trading city like Karachi. Law and Order is essential for the Foreign Direct Investment. Deteriorated law and order situation not only affects trading and business activities but also creates a lot of fear and disappointment on the part of investors and businessmen.

Political Instability: Political instability has been Pakistan's worst political problem. Governments change every 2nd year. There is no consistency of policies. The projects of former government are abandoned by the later government and the money and time involved in that project goes wasted.

Corruption: Corruption in political circles is one very common thing in Pakistan. Pakistan one ranked second on corruption. Financial resources both from foreign aid and loans and from domestic loans go into the hands of corrupt leaders and the whole nation has to suffer.

Assignment

The transfer of right and liabilities under a contract is technically "assignment of contract". Prima facie, there cannot be an assignment of a contractual liability, and where the promise consents to accept performance from a third party, there is a substitution of a new contract and the old contract disappear and all rights and liabilities under it are extinguished. This is technically called "N ovation".
There is no section in the Contract Act which deals generally with the assign ability of contracts. A contract cannot effect any one but the parties may, under certain circumstances drop out and bring others in their place.
