I was analyzing Pakistan's historical GDP records, and although I already knew under Pres. Musharraf economy was very prosperous under his administration, but just take a look at the before and after in the line chart.
Screen shot from Google info from World Bank
I calculated that during the Musharraf ruled era 1999-2008 alone Pakistan's GDP increased by $100.93 billion! That is more than all the years from 1960-1998 where Pakistan's GDP only grew by $58.483 billion! That means in Musharraf's 10 years of rule alone Pakistan doubled the aggregate GDP Pakistan had earned in 38 years!
Just look at the chart, look at how the line skyrockets upwards during the Musharraf era, all the other years preceding Musharraf never grew so rapidly in terms of billions. In fact every year under the Musharraf administration economy grew more than $10bill, with the last 3 years of his administration growing more than $20 billion a year!
Looking at all this data you can only imagine the economic circumstance would be today had his administration continued, from an economic standpoint.
Pres. Musharraf 98-2008: $100.93 billion
V.S
Presidents Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Fazal Chaudry, Zia Ul Haq, Ghulam Ishaq Khan, Wasim Sajjad, Farooq Leghari, Muhammad Rafiq Tarrar 1960-1998: $58.483 billion
Musharraf beats 9 Presidents of Pakistan in GDP increase!
This is a discussion of the Musharraf administration from an economic standpoint. Please don't drag in politics or other fields into the discussion. Thanks. Way to go Musharraf, he was the greatest Pakistani president for the economy.
