Pakistans losses from terrorism include more than 40,000 deaths and almost $60 billion in economic damage.
Such figures were released by the Speaker of the Pakistani Senate (the upper house of parliament) Syed Bokhari.
"Our losses total more than 35,000 civilians casualties and 5,000 military personnel and our economic losses exceed $ 58 billion," said Bokhari.
The high level of terrorist threat is bad for the economy, is an obstacle to foreign investment, and has a major impact on social and political harmony and stability in Pakistan.
