Is Pakistan overselling CPEC?

[dray]

so loans from the WB and the IMF are alright, but not from China?


2% interest rate

and again, wth has it got to do with an indian or india? why are you so worried?

No, not 2%....it's much much higher.

And not worried at all....just stating facts in a discussion forum, that's what the forum is for, no?

L O L , Chinese investment in India good, Chinese Investment in Pakistan Bad; infrastructure building is bad unless it's being build in India then it's good.

1000's of Indians putting a single bullet together (manufactured in some part of the world) is a game changer, Pakistan building fighter jets bad.

From many articles and tv interviews. Pakistan need to worry about how to reduce line losses once all these power plants come online. Because otherwise circular debt may increase even more quickly and Pakistan state will have to pay Chinese companies who have build plants no matter what.

well i have zero trust on govt recovry institutions aka lesco hesco, pesko etc as we all know how corrupt their line men and meter readers are let alone big fishes. We should Privitize them as soon as possible, look at K electric, its earning profit after privitization.

So the Chinese are building road and rail links across our country. They're linking it all to our new port, they're going to bring manufacturing jobs, they're going to invest in agriculture and builf their own farms, they will be doing mining too. Why is this bad? Because it's in Pakistan, not India.

Pakistani's having jobs, having new standards of industry, having quicker and wider access to their own country - all bad. It of course would be perfect if it was Indians benefiting.

I wouldn't call 190 million consumers in Pakistan a wasteland that you are pertaining. $50 billion for 190 million consumer is only $250 or $400 with interest usd per person over 30 years to pay...so quite the bang for the buck. India needs trillions in infrastructure spending, yet Modi thinks India can dictate terms of FDI despite lack of local funding. The problem with "Made in India" or Pakistan for that matter is corruption is so pervasive that nothing get done in time and on budget. Having foreign partners with dedicated host support cut through bureaucracy and get infrastructure built on time and within budget. India politics just doesn't allow this to happen. The only loser is the Indian consumers, children, and working people who lives without power, roads and sanitary water.

Government will not provide electricity to feeders with high losses.

 

[Providence]

The chinese govt. is providing loans of USD 12 billion which has a 2% interest rate. The rest of the loans would be taken by pakistan govt from other non govt chinese institutions which might carry an interest rate as high as 8 - 12 %.

More like investors beware...MS went to Britain and was knighted by the Queen, RW went to India and US for loans got nothing. I am sure RW and MS shopped the Port to Britain, EU nations, India and US, nobody want it for debt relief. Now the Port deal with 1500 acres lease is being called a Colony...India, Hong Kong, Philippines was a colony, such hypocrisy.

Merely a bunch of biased editorial opinion. None of them clearly state the interest rate of loans.

So, what is the grace period of the loans, what is the interest rate per annum after the grace period, and then how does it compares to the other investors(IMF/WB/ADB/USA/EU/Japan/India) in other gigantic projects in Pakistan and similar countries?
