Pakistan: Some Reflections on Its Economic Future,
Abstract
Pakistan could achieve a very rapid rate of economic growth over the next one decade. Growth over the last four years averaged 6.5 percent per annum; it could go up between 7-8 percent in the next few years. It is possible - given the right policies and a reasonably favorable external environment - for Pakistan to increase its per capita income from $325 in 1980 to $525 in 1990. At income per head of $525, Pakistan would be a middle-income country in 1990; it would have arrived at the stage of development it could have reached in 1970.
