Partnering to Bolster Growth and Enhance Pakistan’s Competitiveness

The U.S. private sector believes that with the right policies, the achievements of the past three years can help accelerate Pakistan’s economic resurgence and improve the country’s position in attracting investment. This report argues that Pakistan has the potential and the resources to become a vibrant and dynamic emerging market economy.
