Comparing "Democracy" and "Dictatorship" Performance in Pakistan

[RiazHaq]

There are three problems with your stats:

1. BD is now using 2005 base year like Pakistan and so GDP increased by 15% - your stats all show 1995 base year for BD but 2005 for Pakistan

2. Pakistan population is nearly 40 million than BD and so you need to use GDP/capita to make a comparison.

3. Since BD has been growing far quicker than Pakistan recently, BD is much closer to Pakistan GDP/capita in 2014 than before. BD GDP/capita is around 1200 dollars when compared to 1300 dollars in Pakistan.

I wish Pakistan well but BD has been outperforming Pakistan since the 1990s.

The graphs I shared with you are from The World Bank and they show current nominal US$. So there should be no confusion.

If you look at the graphs carefully, you'll find the slope much steeper for Pakistan in 2000-2008.
