Pakistan is a developing country with a growing population of around 189.87 million ruled by a democratically elected government. Even with the growing appetite of the young population for creative, innovative and high-quality goods and services, Pakistan’s economy has not yet experienced the rapid expansion seen in Asia’s emerging markets.

To revive growth, the government in collaboration with the IMF implemented economic reforms programs in 2013. On 1st January 2014, Pakistan qualified for the Generalized System of Preferences Plus awarded by the EU. The GSP allows developing countries to pay less or no duties on exports to the EU, which contributes to their growth. In 2014, Pakistan and China agreed on the ‘China-Pakistan Economic Corridor’, a USD 46 billion investment program targeted towards the energy and infrastructure projects in Pakistan, which is already home to over 600 foreign companies and is expected to grow in the future.

Decades of internal political disputes and low levels of foreign investment have led to slow growth and underdevelopment in Pakistan. Bureaucracy, terrorism, corruption, weak labor enforcement, and lack of enforced intellectual property rights are constraints for investors. However, Pakistan has the ninth largest English-speaking population in the world and a large educated workforce, which reduces labor and production costs along with the large population, which also serves as a consumer base.
