Addendum to my earlier reply.

According to rough estimates, regional terrorism efforts have caused the Pakistani economy losses in excess of $10 billion since October 2001.

The overall cost associated with the earthquake is estimated at approximately US$5.2 billion, which includes estimated costs for relief, livelihood support for victims, and reconstruction

Over $15 billion dollars of financial losses to Pakistan becauase of 9/11 and the 2005 earthquake, and those figures have probably risen over the years as well. We have received nowhere near that amount of direct aid from the outside world to even make up for those losses. Those facts alone make Musharraf and Aziz’s economic achievments even more remarkable.

Wow, over $15 billion of damage and still Pakistan has managed to achieve such stunning economic growth.
