Pakistan as Progressing Knowledge Economy

Pakistan in terms of population is the 6th largest country and is one of youngest with more than 70% of its population coming under the age group of 15 to 35 years. With an insistently increasing GDP growth of 5.7%, USD 45 Billion in Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) as a result to progressing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project and pro-business governmental policies, Pakistan has stepped in the league of emerging leading economies of the world. Increased investors’ confidence has made Pakistan Stock Exchange listed among the top best performing global markets. The industrial growth index continues to escalate and is expected to exceed 7.7% in the current fiscal year.
With a literacy rate as high as 76% in the urban areas, a growing middle class and increasing household incomes, Pakistan is evolving as a choice location for R&D focused businesses and international academic institutions. Currently on the threshold of rapid and sustainable socioeconomic development, the country is looking to utilize its existing assets to move towards a knowledge based economy, by reorganizing the research and development (R&D) infrastructure and promoting a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship to enhance productivity.
