What's new

Infrastructure projects worth 230-250 Billion USD to be completed in 15-18 years.

.
1. CPEC
2. World Bank
3.Asian development bank
4.PSDP
5. Other loan

So Pakistan plans to add another 200 to 250 billion dollars in loans on top of what it already owes?

Alot of projects are coming under PPP (public private partnership) arrangement

Bhai bary ch*** ho.
PSDP aur BOT projects loan mein ni aaty. Aur motorway projects ka ROI kaafi hota hai. Ajeeb ho aap bhi.

300 billion dollars in 15 years for the country size of Pakistan is peanuts.



In the last 3 years, Pakistan has invested more in it's infrastructure than the previous 70 years combined. This is the beginning not the end. Over 30 years of the sharif/bhutto/zardari rule of Pakistan nearly destroyed us. The tide is now permanently turning for the better.

Leaving aside you name-calling, showing you have no coherent response, the size of the PDSP is peanuts compared to the projects you have claimed, and BOT projects require willing companies to float the proposals for the government to consider the terms offered. Unless that process is well underway, all you have are thetypical pie-in-the-sky claims. Pakistan simply has no money to consider such projects on the scale you mention in the OP, and nor is it likely to attract viable BOT terms for such projects in the near future.

Next time try to avoid personal attacks if you cannot reply to the substance of the posts. Thanks.

I think he's listed projects that are already planned or underway. There will be many more projects that will be planned and initiated in those 15 years.
So it isn't necessarily accurate to think that it will be only 300 billion dollars of projects in the next 15 years.

actually Pakistan is a very small country in size so 300 billion spending on infrastructure in the country smaller than state of Texas is quite a big chunk.

Look at it this way: how is the budget going to come up with approx. 15-16 billion dollars per year, given all the other demands, to get these projects financed? More loans? Under what terms?
Its an investment. Infrastructure pays for itself (as long as its properly planned). Such infrastructures are made largely of cement....which we have an ample local supply of. Steel and machinery will have to be imported (we should try to reduce this as much as possible). Our current tax collections allow for increased investments in infrastructure. If we crack down on electric theft and put a tax on water we can increase our investments even more.

The question i ask is simple: who is making such large investments and under what terms? 15 billion a year sustained for over a decade is some serious coin.
