Pakistan's repayments on CPEC to peak at $5b in 2022: chief economist

[hit&run&hitagain]

Forget about my flags for a minute and debate this with facts.

Already showed you that Pakistan will get a pittance from the port revenue since the Chinese government owned port operator will be taking 90 percent of the revenues for the next 40 years .

Coming to the transit fees and toll charges, how much do you think Pakistan is going to charge for transit?

Suez canal generates roughly 5 Billion dollars a year, Panama Canal generates about 1 Billion a year, Eurotunnel brings in 1 Billion a year. The total toll collected on all of Germany's highway comes up to 5 billion dollars a year!

Is CPEC going to generate more revenue than Suez Canal? Not a chance.

Is the toll from CPEC related freight traffic going to be more than the toll collected from all of Germany's freight traffic? Again not a chance!!!

So how exactly is Pakistan planning to service the CPEC debt?

You forgot to add revenues earned by roadside shopkeepers catering in-transit Trucks.

Wow You Indians Never Let Go Of Any Chance To Make Fools Out Of Yourselves.How On Earth Can You Compare CPEC With Suez Canal or Panama For That Matter.Canals Have A Certain Limit To The Size of Ships That Can Pass It.Most Ships Have To Pass Through Cape Route

Gwadar Is A Deep Water Port And Does Not Have The Constraints Of A Canal and Can Therefore Accomodate Maximum Traffic.

Germany's Freight Traffic???Did You Ever Compare China's GDP to That of Germany It's More Than Three Times Greater And We Are Talking About International Trade Traffic Not Domestic Trade

Oh Bhai, do you undertand the meaning of bilateral trade right? Seller sells, and the buyer pays the money, where does Pakistan come in this 80 billion dollar equation.

Even if we assume that, all of the UAE-China bilateral trade does go through Gwadar as early as 2022, how much revenue do you think Pakistan Is going to get? The 80 billion dollar claimed transaction is between the buyer and the seller, not the transit country. Even if we assume that Pakistan charges as high as 10 percent on all the UAE-CHina bilateral trade as transit fees, that is only 8 billion dollars. OF that 8 Billion dollars, the Chinese operator of the Gwadar Port get's 90 percent, that's 6.5 billion dollars going to the Chinese company, and that leaves a meagre 1.5 billion dollars for the PAkistani exchequer.

And that 1.5 billion dollar revenue, mind you, is the best case scenario( not gonna happen in real life), where all of UAE-China trade goes through Gwadar( Dubai port to ping pong khelne ke liya banaya hai UAE walo ne), and if PAkistan charges an exorbitant 10 per cent on all the trade passing through its port.

Fact of the matter is that Gwadar port is going to see very little transit, and of the very little revenue this very little transit will generate, 90 per cent will go to the Chinese company that will be operating the Gwadar port for the next 40 years! PAkistan will get a whole lot of nothing, a whole lot of unserviceable debt, and Nawaz will get another 5 year of term out of it, and that's it.

You missed the cost of operation of tolls, maintenance of roads.
