Pakistan is a promise land for the people who mean business. There are great opportunities of investment in trade and industry, including tourism, education, and health sectors – and many many other fields. Pakistan is a land of opportunities for those who want to explore various aspects of this country and this nation and make money. According to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif,the government is committed to make Pakistan a preferred destination for business and that the country’s exports will rise to US$ 50 billion in three years. In his address at the launching ceremony of the Expo Pakistan, the country’s biggest trade fair, he calls Pakistan as a land of business opportunities. The exhibition presents a largest collection of exportable products and services,
In his views, the government offers very competitive sourcing options for foreign buyers and the indigenous industry is capable of penetrating in various regions of the world. No doubt the Pakistani businessmen are convincing the world by exporting sports goods, surgical equipment and textile products. Though the European Union’s awarding of GPS Plus status has not been fully utilized, the Pakistani textiles has shown a record increase of $1 billion to its exports.
Pakistan is an industrial country with agricultural background with God gifted four seasons and fertile lands. The country has made tremendous progress in introducing new verities of various yields such as rice and fruit yields. The land is full of natural resources such as coal, iron and gold and more over shale gas. The country has one of the best irrigation systems in the world. However, terrorism and energy crisis have sent the country many decades back. Though the government is trying its best to overcome energy crisis and has launched various ambitious projects, but it will take time to banish the monster of load shedding from the country.
Pakistan is regarded as one of the dangerous countries in the world and this is very bad for its economy. This has isolated the nation from the rest of the world. The Pakistani army is sending strong message to terrorists that enough is enough and they should be ready to reap what they have sowed. No doubt, until terrorism is curtailed, the cherished goal of a developed Pakistan cannot be achieved.
The prime minister is boasting of turning over the Pakistani exports to over $25 billion, but this is just peanuts in the world trade. There is still a long way to go.
