We Pakistanis never boasted here on this forum that we are economical power,…even though from 2000 to 2004,..we have made good economical progress and are going @ full speed to develop Pakistan economically too…As I was quite astonished to see pakistan recovering fast from years of neglect due to political instability in the country during Benazir and Nawaz time.
India stayed consistant which shows from the Data which is posted below…If We stay steady and consistant for next 5 years,..we can leave India behind.
For that we have to create conducive environment to attract foreign investments…which are already coming and more potential investers are ready to invest in Pakistan. which is a good sign for promisng future.

Re: The World Fact sheet about ,...GDP - per capita..
last time i checked, 3,100 > 2,200. i am not understanding your bragging point.
when your economic prosperity is divided up over an incredibly large population of 1 Billion+ people, most of whom's contributions to the GDP are very little, you will obviously have a small number.
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
I think I know,..all that,…But we Pakistanis never brag,..or boast like our Indian ignorant people like you,…Therefore,..save the speech and let others weigh it too,…
My point was more towardes Pakistanis than you guyz,..
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
Actually,..proud of what,…that’s my question,…they are @ number 155,…if they would have been like even in 100 bracket then,..may be ,we can say yes,..they are really going up faster,…But numbers speaks for itself,…Pakistan can pass India sooner than they come even close to China,…
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
you have to look at the context of Indian pride…Indian’s are fully aware of continuing poverty and obstacles. the pride comes from getting the ball rolling and very healthy future predictions. Indians aren’t claiming that India is like Europe. but in comparison to where India was, the current state and future estimates are a huge step up.
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
here I agree,..that India is economically better today than it was 10 years ago,..But playing down others and acting big ,..is the reason,.where I start my discussion
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,...GDP - per capita..
if pakistan carrys on at this rate (which it always will with musharaf and aziz in power) then it will take a big jump up the ladder. it will pass in india very soon and leave it miles behind in the years to come.
by the end of 2006 our gdp growth rate would have passed indians.
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
wow! i had no idea there was such a huge economic disparity between india and pakistan. almost a 50% difference in per capita GDP. how much difference 60 years can make..
Re: The World Fact sheet about ,…GDP - per capita..
**On the turnaround in Pakistan’s economy **.
Not surprisingly, along with India, Pakistan, too, is emerging as one of the fastest growing economies of the world. From a low of 1.8% in 2000-01, GDP growth has accelerated and is expected to touch 7% this year, following improved performances of 5.1% in 2002-3 and 6.4% in 2003-4.
**Pakistan’s economic revival has some messages for India’s policy makers. First, it would be wrong to assume that Pakistan’s offer of peace to India stems from a position of economic weakness. In terms of economics, Pakistan is a lot more viable today than it was some years ago and is gradually developing greater resilience to withstand external shocks than it could in the late ’90s. **
Second, revival of Pakistan’s economy is good news for normalisation of trade relations with India. With confidence in its economy, Pakistan is more likely to pursue better trade relations as an end in itself, and de-link them from the Kashmir dispute, just as China is focussing on bilateral ties with India, and not allowing the border dispute to impede the process. Indeed, this may explain the growing pace of trade and commercial talks. Finally, with Pakistan getting used to economic success, it is likely to strengthen its belief in potential gains from “soft power” more than military means.
**Pakistan’s economic policy makers are aware of the impact of peace with India on the investment climate in their country. Not surprisingly, Pakistan’s Mid Year Review of the Economy stresses, apart from sustained reforms, the role of “political and regional” stability in its growth momentum. **
