Pakistan to pay China $40 billion in 20 years

[SunilM]

All investment returns globally are annual....who the hell offers 10 to 12 percent over 20 years.

Your intellect is apparent so best you stay queit. And do the maths its not 40 percent over 20 years. Learn basics. This is elementary maths

First, do some research to understand how many projects are built with 30 % and above ROI in mind and then we will take this further. Come on now, do your research.

Well, a) Its over 40% rate of return which is not seen now days in the commercial world. Hell Madoff who created the Biggest Ponzi scheme over 50 Billion dollars, offered 10 to 12 % returns on investment and people flocked to him like crazy.
b) Look at how the repayment is scheduled, it will be at its peak till 2032, which means the repayment is front loaded.( graph in the article) Hence, CPEC seems to be the swindle of the century. And now its out in the open.

Can you tell me what exactly happens if pakistan fails to repay that amount ?

Probably 1) Seek the money to be converted to grant. 2) Go to ummah for more money. Although by 2030, with oil loosing its buying power, I dont know how much umaah may be able to help out. With nukes, they wont be allowed to fail.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR):5.613%
Gross Return:60.000%

You people used to say EXACTLY the same thing with regards to Pakistan becoming a nuclear weapons state. We all know how that one ended up. Just as then, so is now...........

It is extremely easy to become a 'nuclear' state than to have a stable economy for a long time with illiteracy which Pakistan is having. You need few thousand engineers and political will. Thats all. Most nation don't go that path because a. They don't have a mortal enemy. b. They prefer to have a half way decent economy.

The same india research which vehemently proclaimed that Pakistan would never ever become a nuclear weapons state and that CPEC would never become a reality in the 1st place..........

Sure they can...........I don't think the 2 million dead Iraqis from 2003-2016 will probably agree with you. Not even their $100s of billions of oil money were much help......

Not even 1.3 billion literate indians can make india into a global power. So there is more to it than meets the eye........

Loan sharking.

This really seals the fate of the Pakistani economy for the foreseeable future. The Economy should stay around the 300 bn dollar mark for the next decade or so.

That's too pessimistic. It will cross 500 bn by 2030. They need to sort out their own house first instead of focusing on international politics. They will improve. But others in South Asia will leave them behind.

Kargalar bile gülecek
Even crows will laugh.
70% of the economy is undocumented and exponentially growing. This loan is nothing.

Whats point always pakistanis talking about undocumented economy..this shows incompetence of entire pakistani system.n if unaccounted then its of no use..its not in dollars.
Side note. Will bangladesh help pakistan with dollars in around 2025 when bangla economy overtakes pakistan...will u be the new ummah helping hand

If its not come from government sources, its likely to be BS. Express Tribune is partly owned by the New York Times.
