Apologise for the bad formatting. Its just that we are so cynical about Pakistan's economy. Just wanted you guys to see that we've been doing better and can do better!

One more indicator is % of mobile phones in use by population

Pakistan % 56.20
China % 45.5
India % 28.2
 
You should include the GDP growth rate and population growth rate on all those years. So that we could project what will be GDP/per capita in coming years for Pakistan and India with current growth rate.
With the current economic condition of Pakistan, GDP/per capita going to take a hit in coming years I think..

what is this country year value....
pakistan's GDP per capita is definately goin to take a hit. but things will start improving from 2010. higher commodity prices really screwed our economy and now with the prices coming down and the subsidies being eliminated, things will be much better. our banking sector is still firm and is not expected to take a hit during 2009 when the financial climate in the world market is going to get worst.
during the current fiscal year industrial growth will get effected due to massive electricity short fall to which the previous gov didnt pay much attention. however situation is expected to improve by the end of 2009.
FDI has gone down by 21%. which i believe is more due to lack of finances available in the international market. security situation also put its weight behind this decline.
pakistan will also be earning significant amount of foreign exchange in freight transport after the completion of trade corridor by 2012 which will connect gwadar port with chinease and central asian markets.
assuming the security situation will improve and macro economic indicators will be stabalised under the current IMF programme, there is a significant probability for pakistani market to emerge at a really fast rate in the comin year.
 
Omairhr and S-90, it will be good if you provide links to the sources of your data.
 
This indicator tells how much following nations have purchasing power to afford a modern world necessity,all the figures are from national watchdogs

List of countries by number of mobile phones in use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is not a good indicator to measure the development or purchasing power. Chinese and Indian people might be saving more instead of buying the mobile phones, in that case, it is not a good indicator to show that Pakistan has more purchasing power but it shows that Pakistan spends more on mobile phones than China and India.
 
Current per-capita incomes

Pakistan = $1,027
India = $950
China = $1740

China is just abit little behind PK,so not very much difference


Current per-capita incomes

Pakistan = $1,027
India = $950
China = $1740

Even this is not a good indicator to measure the development. It only says how rich the people are relatively to one another.

Development indicators will be more like, how much educational facilities you have per 1000, hospital beds per 1000, doctors per 1000, literacy rates, poverty rates, roads, infrastructure, manufacturing, service sectors etc

1970

Pakistan 1970 218
India 1970 112

Pakistan/India per capita = 218/112 = Approx 2 times higher than India.

2007

Pakistan 2007 996
India 2007 976

Pakistan/India per capita = 996/976 = Both are almost equal


This tells us that Pakistan's economy is going down or remained stagnant while India's economy is going up based on per capita of past 37 years.

No, it tells us that India's growth rate has been faster.
