Pakistan's Path to Competitiveness
Last year, Pathways to Change 鈥 Pakistan Policy Symposium, a two-day event jointly organized by the 乐鱼 体育 and INDUS, convened expert scholars, academics, and practitioners from the United States and Pakistan to explore Pakistan鈥檚 recent achievements in economic, political, and foreign affairs as well as its opportunities to address current and future challenges. Speakers and panelists focused on identifying practical, innovative, and above all actionable policy solutions. The following series of policy briefs, which draw on discussions from the symposium, will be of interest to the academic and scholarly communities; diaspora audiences; business and policy circles; and any general audiences interested in Pakistan, U.S.- Pakistan relations, or international relations on the whole.
In this essay, James Schwemlein argues that the China- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) alone is not a silver bullet for Pakistan鈥檚 economic troubles. 鈥淢ore attention needs to be placed on improving Pakistan鈥檚 competitiveness, including its economic governance,鈥 he writes. He calls for a 鈥渞eal focus on market-enabling reforms, including a more predictable regulatory and legal framework.鈥
