Global recession, all economies are affected. All countries experiencing inflation and slow down of jobs. Why would an investor invest in such conditions in a country that is even further politically and economically unstable?

Also, that too under a government that comes with a stolen mandate. A COAS that is highly unpopular and people want him thrown out. Too much variables and too much instability in the equation for anybody to make sense out of it.

And to top it all off, extremely high rates of utilities and rampant corruption in all government department.

Capacity of state as a whole to come up with feasible projects

Planners don't come up with projects. Private sector estimate market growth and invest to satisfy demand. If private sector does not see demand, they are not going to invest.

As far as infrastructure investment is concerned, a lot of your problem is to do with the fact that you are already over invested. Most of the infrastructure investment done in the last decade is not giving the expected returns.

When your GDP is $360 billion there is only so much projects you can spend money and still get a ROI

It is not the capacity of the state. It is capacity of workforce and the infrastructure here.
CPEC was a failure because Pakistani worker would not be transformed into world class labor force

Theoretically agree with you..... most of investments is going to be in G to G investments deals , not an encouraging sign .

That's hard hitting truth .
