‘CPEC to attract $150 billion foreign investment

Change the words to

Pakistan will attract 150 Billion in investment and it makes better sense

Its a 200 million market which is due their intial growth surge

All this current economic data and figures and fdi blah blah blah will mean nothing as Pakistan hits its stride
 
. .
Actual CPEC project is only 11B$ rest are separate energy and other deals merged with CPEC to make it look big :p: Though it is working in International media as CPEC worth 46B$ :yahoo:. The real benefit Pakistan will get from CPEC is the tariff it will charge on the trade through this route which is far from reality right now. untill the blue line eastern corridor is developed there is not a single penny coming into our pockets. That is the reason govt first priority is to develop blue line along the redline so at least some trade activity to start from this project cause eastern corridor is almost 70% complete and will be the fastest trade route due to motorways. Best route for china and central asia is green line but it will take decades to convert that into Motor way. Happiest day will be the that day when first china export will be done through CPEC. :pakistan::chilli::china:

Five new projects to be launched under CPEC this year: Chinese Envoy
(July 13, 2016)

ISLAMABAD – Deputy Chief of Mission at Chinese Embassy in Islamabad Zhao Lijian has announced that in addition to 30 infrastructure and energy projects already being completed by the Chinese companies in Pakistan, as many as five new projects will also be launched under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework this year.

Zhao Lijian said, prior to the signing of CPEC between China and Pakistan in 2013, China was at number 16 in terms of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Pakistan, adding, now China is the largest investor in Pakistan after initiating multi-billion dollars project under the CPEC framework.

“Eight coal, solar, wind and hydro-power energy projects are also under construction to meet the energy requirement of the country,” he told APP.

Chinese companies are also implementing two mega projects including the Thakot-Havailian section of Karrakurm Highway (KKH) and Sukkur-Multan section of Lahore-Karachi motorway at a cost of US$ 3 billion, he said.

after hearing so much about CPEC, now I feel its more like a propaganda being fed to citizens of Pakistan, to overlook failure of there government. Which over the years have sent there state in grip of terrorism and abject poverty, earning them good name "failed state".

I don't understand project CPEC as "magic wand", alone china building a port and roadways cant help you get on track of heavy Industrialization, with all the industries and manufacturing hubs comfortably residing in other side of china(which I don't see shifting, why china will loose its tag of manufacturing hub?), with there major markets in Americas I am yet to understand use of it. Second to be Industrialize, one need to churn out skilled people, which I don't see as most people prefer graduating in throwing bombs/stones.

anyways, all the best, but I don't see it.

keep watching door Darshan and go to sleep with a smile on your face, Like a pigeon

Can anyone tell me what was the export target of Pakistan last year and how much was achieved? Also what is the export target of current Fiscal ?
You will them self realized true Picture of Claims Value.
Also can anyone tell me what expectations does pakistan have regarding Industrialization on CPEC? After all you guys have gave them 0 tariff import duty then why will they manufacture in Pakistan and pay big excise Duty ? Can anyone explain this ?
According to me at best, Highly polluted and low grade labour Intensive Industries will shift from china to Pak, otherwise expecting more will like go for kill.
Other then Tolls, Chaiwala and windscreen cleaning jobs will get boost :lol:

Muhammad Omar Do the money coming in from China will not be counted as Investment?
 
.
Pakistan should put 80 percent of profit it gets from CPEC to clear its foreign debt as soon as we can so our economy in general get 6.5 growth per anum and as debt clear we atleast get US dollar to atleast 50 to. 65 rupees per dollar

Don't worry, Pakistan wont have any investment as all the money given by Chinese shall be handed over to politicians , there cousins, there ministers, there families and all will buy houses in London, New York , Dubai. Money lent by Chinese will only increase more debt . Trust Noora

They are being shifted to Pakistan due to low-cost labour.

See, if you don't know what you're talking about, then it's best to keep your mouth shut.
