Can you tell me where you got the data that you are claiming is from PBS site … and what that data is all about?
I cannot find the date you gave above in PBS site link I quoted … that is table 1, giving real growth rate of Pakistan during different years.
As for data you gave and claiming that they are from World Bank’s site … these data figures are actually taken from PBS site (if it is from World Bank site, than WB took it from PBS site) … that confirms what I mentioned in my many posts that PBS data is primary source and any data that one could find anywhere are secondary sources taken from primary source (PBS), unless they are just concocting the figure to misguide.
I always take data from primary source, and used them to calculate accumulative GDP growth rate during various periods.
Check again, the same site that I posted earlier in my previous post, that I am posting again:
http://www.pbs.gov.pk/sites/default/files/national_accounts/tables/table1.pdf
Data in above ‘table1’ shows (first column) real growth rate for each year… from FY 1951-52 … to FY 2011-12. … From this table, one can also see the growth rate in different sectors of Pakistan economy.
When you quoted World Bank, you also included the figure 1.72, but that ‘real growth rate figure’ is for year 2008-09.
Here are the growth figures from 1999-2000 … to 2007-08 … from PBS site (table 1, column 1) … as well as WB (what you quoted).
[TABLE]

2001 - 02

2002 - 03

2007 - 08

Above data figures is from PBS … but you got same data from World Bank (that is obvious, as World Bank do not tabulate their own data, but would be quoting PBS data … as given in Table 1 of PBS, that I posted).
I used above data to calculate accumulative real growth rate that later I averaged it out to calculate average real growth rate per year. It is possible that I might make silly unintentional error in calculating or quoting, but I assure you that I would never try to lie or misguide anyone, so please do not accuse me of giving wrong information. Actually, in your above post, you validated the information I gave … thanks … still, please give me link from where you got PBS data that you quoted (as I asked earlier in this post), because I want to know what those figures are :).
