Pakistan's economy better than India's: Bloomberg


LAHORE: (Web Desk, Dunya News) – Pakistan’s economy has been declared better than India’s in Bloomberg report published on Friday. Pakistan has been included among the Top 10 emerging economies of the world, reported Dunya News.

According to the report published by Bloomberg, economic reforms and good relations with the international monetary organizations gave boost to Pakistan economy. It said that the success is better than India’s.

Report says that the payment of loans’ issue was resolved after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took over the government. It said that the construction industry also improved, leading to better ratings for Pakistan by Moody’s and Standards and Poors.

Bloomberg report says that interest rate is at 42-year lowest in Pakistan. It says that Nawaz Sharif government kept the economy afloat despite protests in the country. Pakistan wrote a new chapter in the history of reforms, privatization and economic progress, it says, and has become the best undiscovered investment opportunity of the world for investors with a 232-billion dollars economy.

Report goes on to say that Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) saw 16% improvement during the last one year and is among the 10 best performing stock markets of the world. It says that progress has been observed in cement, construction and steel sectors. It said that the biggest of companies are trying to double their volume.

Appreciating the government reforms, the report says that a 27% increase was seen in the government expenditure on infrastructure, inflation came down and buying power of Pakistanis increased due to better incomes after Nawaz Sharif government took control in 2013. It says that the current government has also focused on rural progress along with the urban due to which suburban centers are growing fast in the country.

The report also acknowledged China’s support for Pakistan, saying that China once again proved to be Pakistan’s best friend by investing in 45-billion-dollar economic corridor project. Quoting the business circles in Pakistan, the report says that almost all the fields have observed three-time growth which is a clear indicator of economic progress.

oops sorry, could somebody move this thread to Economy section please?
 
A lot more work to be done.
Yes we might be better than India at poverty alleviation and infrastructure build up, but still, we need heavy industries. Construction is a cheap boom mostly for those seeking to make their black earnings white. Sooner than later it will burst whether Pakistan, India or China.
We need energy and security. We need value added exports. Hopefully, our IT industry will expand very rapidly in the next decade and finally we can export something other than Towels, mangoes and footballs.
 
Our economy is only just recovering from a total collapse from the Zardari era.


Give it a rest and have some patience.
 
Well ; what can I say ; CONGRATULATIONS

Those who care to read the original article will realise that
it is about the Construction sector

Pakistan needs growth in those sectors which will reduce its external debt

Right now the external debt is going through the roof
 
If $100Bill comes in just from China it is going to kill most of Pakistan's neighbors.
 
Its a Long Journey , but we will make Pakistan " Real Asian Tiger " Inshallah
 
Specially in the eastern side
all except North.... are going to be in trouble...

China Iran gas and Oil pipeline will flow from Pakistan that is going to be a pain for arab friends. Electricity from Tajikistan would come via china so Afghanistan.

Gwadar port would kill DXB and Abu Dhabi.. They would have to kill Pakistan Airline to take revenue which they are doing Pakistan CAA is not understanding. If Pakistan make just 2 airports out in the Sea near Karachi and Gwader that is going to take all the Middle Eastern Airports out.

These plans are for more than $1tr per year...
 
Improved security, less load shedding, less corruption will have a great positive impact on economy.

Add to that more education, improved infrastructure, better healthcare and we are really ready to take off.

Very much possible, it is about getting only few things right. And no, I have no hope from Sharifs, Zardaris, Altafs. These old §$%§ must be removed from power forever.

New honest leadership, no matter who provides it is a must.

LOL, now that is quite far fetched.

Yes our ports or new airports might pose a challenge to Dubai or Abu Dhabi (and Sheikhs will do everything to undermine them), but I seriously doubt that they can kill DXB or Abu Dahabi.
