CPEC boosts Pakistan in global rankings even before completion

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) — which is still work-in-progress — has already started to help Pakistan climb several rungs on the ladder of global competitiveness and economic progress, a major US business publication noted.

The update comes on the back of a report recently unveiled by the World Economic Forum (WEFR), wherein Pakistan secured the 115th position out of 137 countries in total.

“While this ranking is still low compared to neighbouring countries, it’s a big improvement from the 122nd position the country occupied last year, and the 133rd position back in 2014,” Forbes — a leading American business magazine — said, referring to the boost in the country’s economy.

“One reason for this improvement is Pakistan’s progress in the infrastructure ‘pillar’ of the report, where the country is ranked 110th,” the magazine said.

The report also said China’s score for the infrastructure pillar decreased for the second year in a row, due in part to a decline in the quality of port infrastructure and the reliability of electricity supply.

  1. Put Nawaz sharif and his family including Asif zardari the real terrorists behind bars and throw away the key. Pakistan will progress 10 times more once these hog crap are gone

  2. Very sub standard comments..apparently PTI lovers.
    Every Pakistani would agree to the fact that CPEC is an achievement and credit goes to PML N Govt headed by same Nawaz Sharif. This credit can’t be taken away even if one want to.

  3. On 8th September 2017 friend Feroz Shah posted on FB “…..according to Chinese news agencyOne Belt One Road is passing through Central Asian states Iran, Turkey totally by-passing Pakistan. Than Maritime Belt is going via Sri Lanka and Suez Canal not touching Gwadar. Balochistan govt economic adviser Kaiser Bangali has also termed CPEC as “Game Over” So lets be little Logical & Truthful.
