Chinese investors to bring $150b after CPEC: BoI chief

[Abba_Dabba_Jabba]

Sir, the project related investments combined are going to be around $ 200 billion. Pakistan's current economy per the Western media, is now close to $ 700+ billion.

Do not bring PPP data, because it doesn't show the comparative GDP of any country. In PPP terms India is 3rd largest economy in the world, but it is useless because we know we are not.

It is expected that about 50 Russian companies will bring in various investments ($ 500 million being the minimum, otherwise they can't really get the level of profitability they expect), about 10 French companies, about 8 German companies (and various other German companies will work in-part with Pakistani and Chinese companies through supplying engineers, etc,) about 12 British companies and about 12-15 US companies (likes of GE, etc, for electric production, r&d, etc, etc).

I hope it comes out to be true but unfortunately these are just MoUs.

$ 200+ billions of investments over ten years. Mark my words. Mr. Trump also wants to work with Pakistan on much friendlier terms, so expect $ 20-30 billion from the US also .

People like you, just three years said that $ 50 billion was also an MOU . I know how that went. I've heard that Mr. Modi wakes up at night with fast heart beat, sweaty, screaming "No, No, CPEC"!!

Bro $ 46 billion invested by China will only materialized in 10-15 years, that is hardly $ 3-4 billion per year. I am not against investment by foreign country in Pakistan, but the numbers are clearly wrong. Plus India has not shown any reservation against CPEC, its just the P0K we are talking about, because it is a disputed area between India & Pakistan.

I literally hope for more investment in Pakistan, but this $ 150 billion number may come in two decades or even more than that.

That is roughly the same as Qatar or Iraq's total GDP. CPEC will not just attract Chinese investment, it will bring a lot of other countries to invest in Pakistan too. It indeed is a corridor of opportunity for all of our friends. I hope, despite the hatred India also joins us in this project for mutual benefits.

Dear Horus,


It is just the beginning. As I have stated many a times before... first phase of CPEC is the foundational i.e infrastructure needs to be right.

Second phase will be transfer of many production facilities to Pak and the thrid phase is complete economic integeration into Chinese, EEU and Eurasian economy.

Pak's future is Westwards.

However, before reaching all these milestones a lot needs to be done by your governments. Security will remain a challenge as long as troublemakers have their nests in AF.

Pak has paid in blood and treasure for this menace. This needs to end permanently. Hopefully, your security managers are alive to current and future threats.

Turkey needs to be in SCO and CPEC. It is critical for long term strategic autonomy for both Pak and Turkey.

Also, your government needs to plan and execute targeted skills instuitions for the uneducated masses.. away from agriculture towards skilleds labour. There might come a time soon that you will have extreme shortage of skilled labour.


Only betrayal and incompetence can keep Pak from becoming a upper middle income country in the next 15 years ie. around 2 Trillion economy if you add up the black economy into it. Because even today your true GDP is more than double if you add the black / unregulated economy to it.

Pak must target and achieve a growth rate above 7%...it is far too low than what the real potential of your good country is... but one must remain conservative!


Wish you all the very best in your socio-economic and geo-economic develop.

Regards,

SPF

More INDIAN bollywood delusions and fantasies. Pre-May 1998 indians like you were using every possible argument under the sun to claim that Pakistan would NEVER EVER become a nuclear weapons state with or without Chinese assistance. We all know what happened to that indian dribble. Just as then so is now.

#CPEC
Chinese Invester to bring $150 billion investment in Pakistan After CPEC;Insists country will need skilled manpower in many indus #ISLAMABAD: Board of Investment (BoI) Chairman Dr Miftah Ismail has voiced hope that after completion of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), $150 billion worth of investment would be brought by Chinese investors in Pakistan.
“In the post-CPEC scenario, we will require skilled manpower to work in various industries in all provinces of the country,” he said while delivering a speech at the three-day 19th Sustainable Development Conference on the theme of “Sustainable Development: Envisaging the Future Together
Ismail emphasised that the government was keenly focusing on removing regional disparity and paving the way for equal development in all provinces, especially the remote regions.
#Balochistan would get more benefits from CPEC and Gwadar Port would play a pivotal role in providing connectivity and enhancing regional trade opportunities, he said.
“CPEC will promote economic integration and regional connectivity for development and prosperity in the region,” Ismail said. “All provinces and regions have a shared opportunity for infrastructure development and industrial growth, which provides employment opportunities and ensures prosperity in the country.”
Turning to energy projects, he said work had got under way on the Turkmenistan-#Afghanistan-Pakistan-#India (TAPI) gas pipeline while Central Asia-South Asia 1,000-megawatt power supply project would also meet energy needs of Pakistan.
Earlier speaking at the inaugural session, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz underlined the need for South-South collaboration for peace and prosperity in the region.
He also highlighted the importance of regional and international cooperation for meeting new targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
He called for more investment, adopting new technologies, building capacity and identifying barriers to achieve the targets of SDGs and Vision 2025.
While chairing the inaugural session, Federal Minister of Climate Change Zahid Hamid said the government’s Vision 2025 had seven pillars and 25 goals, which were fully in line with the SDGs.
He insisted that implementation of the development agenda was possible with global and regional cooperation and CPEC was an example of that cooperation.
SDPI Executive Director Dr Abid Qaiyum Suleri said the conference provided a platform for evaluating and learning “what we have done wrong to avoid these mistakes in the future”.

The only interesting trade commodity from central Asia would be oil - but economically, transporting oil through thousands of kilometers by road does not make sense...unless there are rail routes.

That's why we have built a ton of oil and gas pipelines to Central Asia.

Even India was considering getting Russian pipelines routed through Xinjiang to get to India:

China already has a ton of pipelines to Central Asia and now with Russia, and these pipelines are already geographically close to South Asia since they pass through the Western half of China.

We are NOT indians. What the norms, strategies and activities that are sensible for members of the indian race may not be so for the Pakistani nation & people.

What the hell are you on about....in the next decade India needs a trillion dollars in its infrastructure which will be mostly financed by foreign companies. Your rear end is burning....but don't make it that obvious for us to see.
