Policy Analysis on Pakistan



Pakistan's trade potential is grounded in history and geography

How can Pakistan spur new forms of economic growth through trade? Look to the past, argues CDPR Chairman Ijaz Nabi. The area that is now Pakistan used to have multiple centers of trade activity that facilitated the movement of goods between the Middle East and Central and South Asia. CPEC investments substantiate the existence of a geographic advantage in Pakistan. In a paper for the International Growth Centre, Dr. Nabi writes that Pakistan needs to make the reforms and investments to better exploit that historic advantage.

About CDPR
In Pakistan, policy decisions and public discourse are often uninformed by available research. The Consortium for Development Policy Research (CDPR) bridges this gap by communicating cutting-edge, evidence-based research on development issues in Pakistan to an audience of policymakers, students, the media and the wider public. With support from the International Growth Centre (IGC), CDPR disseminates policy briefs, hosts events, engages with the media and produces digital content to make topics in development research such as economic growth, energy, education, health and governance intelligible to both decision makers and the public.
