Richest city in Pakistan by GDP per capita?

[Raheel Khan_1]

Whats the richest city in Pakistan by GDP per capita?Overall by gdp size we know its karachi. But whats the richest city by GDP per capita?Anyone know the figures? I would predict its Islamabad since it has the highest HDI index in the country and has very few poor people living in it.

These sorts of statistics are seldom recorded or even less seen or available.
Don't bother, not many in Pakistan care for such statistics yet.

PwC reports are quite reliable in these matters.

I don't think these stats are true when you think about year 1999.

I think the richest city in terms of GDP per Capita are very similar to largest economic hubs of Pakistan. That is Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I think Mirpur would also rank highly thanks to its diaspora in UK and Europe.

I wouldn't be surprised to see smaller cities of Gujranwala, Jhelum and Gujrat amongst the top list as there is large Pakistani diaspora from this region and also have good medium level manufacturing industries in these cities which is helping boost exports to all over the world and all across Pakistan.

Poor are NOT allowed to live in Islamabad !

Not restricted, poors simply cant afford.

 

[Zeeshi]

Poor people can construct jhuggies (shanties) but their are not allowed.

No it wouldn't. They produce abroad, not in pakistan.
