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.

what do you mean by capacity ?

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.

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

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 .

 

[Fatman17]

It all starts with education. Educate the masses. We need trade and technical schools where workers can learn skills which are required for a strong workforce. Majority of our workforce is unskilled labour.
Higher education can create engineers in various fields who can be part of a successful workforce which is capable of working on major infrastructure projects. All this potential is available which needs to be harnessed but unfortunately education is not a high priority for our successive governments.
We will remain a country with a begging bowl syndrome if this changes are not made.

there were a lot things missing on the CPEC project.... noonie gov always do this .. make a hair brain project at a expensive rate and sell it to willy nilly idiot supporters who will vote for it.. again.

Imran Khan asked the right questions regarding CPEC.

CPEC should have a been part of a comprehensive master plan that should have dove tailed focus of quality education, technical training, contract enforcement, law and order, targeted investment incentives etc some thing the noonie gov will never do as they love to rule like a family party.

CPEC by it self wasn't a bad idea it was just Nawaz gov and their idiots did the planning for it... as Razak Dawood stated accurately ... "they did a bad job"

the COAS is pretty incompetent.

think about not one single objective achieved

1) Imran Khan - total fail - virtually all his cases are dismissed by courts, and if no other fake cases placed he should be out. His popularity has reached heights not seen by any politician in living memory

2) Economy - super fail

3) Foreign policy - fail no body wants to deal with them or even be seen with them

4) law and order - fail

5) his puppets - fail
