Harvard predicts Pakistan GDP to grow by 5% over 10 years

These 'predictions take in little account of Pakistan's projects and future status; they base predictions off of our current situation.

37% of our economy is undocumented
2% of our economic growth is hampered by load shedding
2% is the increase of economic growth our Government has predicted that will be gained from CPEC
less than 0.5% of our population pays taxes

Pakistan takes an average of 4-6 billion dollars of both indirect and direct loss from terrorism each year. Around (40-60 billion in total)

Those problems and obstacles will most likely be overcome in the next several years.

- Load shedding is predicted to stop at around 2018; with our energy production being much higher than our demand.

- Government is beginning to continuously regulate the economy.

- CPEC is well under way, most political obstacles have been removed and the ground work is under rapid progress.

- Pakistan military operations has significantly decreased terrorism.

- Most likely the Government will begin cracking down on tax evaders in several years.

With all that said; i'd easily put our growth at 6-7% It would still be realistic to put it at 8-9%

Pakistan's growth rate is one of the most unpredictable in the world; we've been known from going 1% to 10% and we've never faced negative growth onward from 1960's.
 
The Military doesn't have flexibility now, with the commitment and demand to put bullets into the heads of terrorists.

Terror attacks peaked in 2009 and have been going down since.

Operation Zarb-e-Azb has been a tremendous success and now is the time for Pakistan to take control of its economy by providing the corrupt free leadership to make CPEC a grand success. Only Pakistan's military has the capability, resolve and honesty to make it a success like Operation Zarb-e-Azb.

The military leadership of Pakistan owe this commitment to the people of Pakistan. If they can deliver this, there is no looking back for Pakistan.

What I am quite shock about this data is, in the BRIC Family, Why is Russia, Brazil, and China not par with India, given + or -? All the percentages are half or less then India's.....
 
Military rule may have looked great, but it just weakened the military itself. Soldiers should be shooting, and officers wargaming not going door to door collecting money for electricity bills.
I think it depends on the mentality of the army chief...even with military rule, military does not need to present in each and every city or to collect the electricity bills (we are still living in 20th century) since bureaucracy, police and all other institutions are intact and they can be used effectively. And I don't remember a single incident of any significan protest against military when Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf overthrew the "democratically" elected govt. Rather people welcomed it and even distributed sweets and food as a token of happiness and I guess the same was the case with previous takeover by military...the reason is simple, people are fed up with these politicians who fool them and do not represent them at all. And back to economy, when Musharaf took over Pakistan's economy was about to collapse but he not only arrested that risk of bankruptcy through his austere lifestyle of a commando but successfully reversed it and the country was back on the right track and the growth shot to around 9%.

Pakistan's GDP grew more than 10% in 1950s and grew 9% even under Musharraf. Every time Pakistan had democracy, the GDP tanked. Military rule is good for Pakistan's GDP.

Yes because when the Military is in charge the immediately begin their reign with excessive economic reforms. Military officers work out of patriotism and not greed or power-hunger.

Decisions are made much faster and with precise effectiveness.

The People of Pakistan owe the responsibility of making sure their children didnt die in vain. The military has cleaned out these terrorists, the government has to have clean governance to make sure these sewer rats don't return. Terrorists thrive when the people have grievances against the government.

The Military doesn't need to take over the government and have it's soldiers carry out background checks.

The Military can stamp out corruption by periodically releasing reports of sacked generals during times of controversies like Panama Papers, Swiss Letter(s).

Look at the public reception of the ISPR releases of the sacking of generals and the national logistics cell or Fauji group investment thing.

Corrupt politicians were taken back more by this, sacking of generals, than outrage by the people. The politicians know that the Pakistani People are stupid, like people across the world. Dangle a couple of metro buses or 'state of the art' children's hospitals and you'll get votes. Even spread bakwas about 'conspiracy' against the holinesses who are working more than the previous government.

I agree with you but at the same time disagree in the sense that those press releases are not enough, they might have taken aback a little but their shameless continues and the skin of these pigs is too thick for such polite responses or constant criticism by media....They won't budge, they will stage dramas like heart attacks etc to win some pity...but they will continue until forced by arms bearing brigades of Pak Army. If you want, we can bet on it.
 
Pakistan can grow at a much higher rate the only things we need is political stability, law and order, road infrastructure and electricity

it's 4.8% Now with Power Shortages. After we overcome it or even reduced it to quiet extent wouldn't it grows more? like 6% or 6.5% ???

It's actually 3.1% this year.
The figures quoted by Fin Min (4.7%) are in correct.
