Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

Dubbed the ‘Project of the Century’ and the world’s biggest infrastructure project, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) will deliver a reinvigorated and modernised Silk Road, reconnecting countries and continents.

The impressive investment program estimated at $5 trillion, is focussed on strengthening infrastructure across 52 countries spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. By increasing connectivity between the Asian, European and African continents, BRI will enhance trade flows for China and spur long-term regional economic growth and development, benefiting all those involved.

Nearly $500 billion worth of projects and Merger and Acquisition deals were announced in 2016 across seven infrastructure sectors including utilities and telecoms.

The flagship projects include:

• The $62 billion ‘China-Pakistan Economic corridor’, which will directly benefit Gwadar and is expected to vastly improve Pakistan’s economy and connectivity in South Asia.

• A 3,000km high-speed railway connecting China and Singapore.

• Gas pipelines across central Asia.

BRI has entered countries as far as New Zealand, Britain and even the Arctic. By 2019, Britain will have its very own Asian Business Port in the Royal Albert Dock in London, which is being developed by the Chinese to boost trade between the UK and China.

China Pakistan Economic Corridor

The largest unilateral Foreign Direct Investment from one nation into another, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is set to catapult Pakistan’s stature as a key global trade and economic hub. Valued at $62 Billion CPEC includes a vast array of projects, presently under construction, which aim to improve Pakistani infrastructure and to deepen the economic and political ties between China and Pakistan.

CPEC is set to create a 2000-mile economic corridor between Gwadar Port to China’s North Western region of Xinjiang through a 2,700 km long highway from Kashgar to Gwadar, railway links for freight trains, oil and gas pipelines and an optical fibre link. The economic impact of CPEC is projected to be in excess of $200 Billion and the project will create over 700,000 new jobs and adding 2.5% to Pakistan’s annual growth rate changing the country’s destiny.

Gwadar Today

Gwadar Port officially became operational in November 2016, when the highway from Kashgar in China to Gwadar was put into service, with 160 containers from Kashgar travelling the 1,935 mile CPEC route and arriving at Gwadar port on the 12th of November. The cargo was loaded on two vessels berthed on the multipurpose berth at Gwadar port, the next day these goods were dispatched to countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Projects

• Gwadar East-Bay Expressway• New Gwadar International Airport• 2 x 150 Megawatt Coal Power Plants• Major Expansion of Port (70,000 tonnes)• Liquefied Natual Gas Terminal• 2300 Acre Special Economic Zone (Freezone)• Fresh Water Treatment Plant• Pak China Friendship Hospital

GwadarGwadar is a deep-sea port situated on the Arabian Sea in the Balochistan province of Pakistan and is the gateway city

to the $62 Billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. The port has been leased to China’s state owned

company, China Overseas Port Holding Company Ltd, who are investing in excess of $4.5 Billion in the redevelopment

of Gwadar as a major global port city.

The climate in Gwadar

Gwadar is elevated at 0-300 meters above sea level and the climate is dry and hot. It has a “warm summer and mild winter” although the oceanic influence keeps the temperature lower than inland Balochistan in summer and higher in winter.

Gwadar Smart City Master Plan

Entitled “Integrated Gwadar Smart Port City Master Plan (2017-2050)” the document promises the delivery of a glorious future for this seaside corner of Western Pakistan. Among the exciting predictions are that the population of Gwadar Port will explode from around 300,000 to 2 million in the next 30 years.

It is expected the size of the city’s economy will surge from $0.6bn to $30bn annually. That growth will be fuelled by a rise in employment from

105,000 to 1.1 million jobs. This in turn will propel the number of households from just under 16,000 to over 250,000. Clearly, land for residential building will be at a premium due to the huge demand from the expected rush of immigrants to Gwadar.

The Master Plan envisages Gwadar becoming the main port in Western Pakistan, servicing China and the five Central Asian countries. It will be the focal point for the trade centres

of Afghanistan, South Asia and the neighbouring Middle East. The port’s throughput will rise from 44m tons to nearly 200m pushing the per capita GDP from just $2000 per year to $15,000, nearly three times Pakistan’s current rate.

• Port development & economic free zone• International transport links, including international airport• Infra-structure, including major road- network, electricity & water supply• Industrial & manufacturing developments• Commercial developments• Residential developments• Utilities, including water, sewage, gas & electricity

• Food production & supply• Facilities, including healthcare, educational, religious, sports & recreational• Telecommunications, including high-speed internet• Security, including storm measures• Tourism developments• Sustainability & ecological projects

The Pakistan Government have released an impressive and ambitious blueprint for the long-term development of Gwadar.

Emerging Pakistan - The Next Asian Tiger EconomyPakistan has achieved an economic milestone — gaining the status of an “emerging market” in Morgan Stanley Capital Internationals’ (MCSI) latest review. MSCI added Pakistan to the Emerging Market Index effective May 31, at the market close. Experts expect global funds to come pouring into Pakistan’s stock markets as a result.

campaign in Central London

dubbed the Most Expensive

Campaign Ever to Promote Gwadar.

“Poverty in Pakistan fell from 64.3%

in 2002 to 29.5% in 2014”.

PakistanPakistan is the 24th largest economy in the

world in terms of purchasing power parity

(PPP), and the 6th largest country in the world

with a population of over 190 million.

Pakistan’s GDP grew by 5.8% between 2017

- 2018, which was the highest in the last 12

years and fifth straight year of high growth.

20 21

The upgrade puts Pakistan in good company. Other members of MSCI’s Emerging Markets Asia Index include China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. This shift will attract foreign investment into Pakistan. The chief reason behind Pakistan’s emerging status is China-funded loans and investments made under the umbrella of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with Pakistan following the pattern of Argentina and Vietnam.

CPEC, as the flagship of China’s Belt and Road project, helped rapidly convert Pakistan into an Asian “emerging market.” The settling of the balance of payments also helped Pakistan to achieve this status. According to Finance Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in his budget speech on May 26, Pakistan would become an “emerging market” effective June 1 on the basis of the performance of the Karachi Stock Market (KSE100), which emerged as the most profitable market in Asia last year.

The most under rated Economy in the WorldGross-domestic-product growth has hovered in the range of 4 percent and now may be reaching 5 percent. Since 2002, the rate of poverty has fallen by more than half, and since 2014 the rate of terrorist incidents has declined by 70%.

Consider the comparison with India. India has established a reputation as one of the world’s most dynamic and rapidly growing economies. Yet until 2008, Pakistan and India had roughly comparable per capita incomes and Pakistan is pulling close again with many experts predicting Pakistan will exceed India by 2020.

The Karachi Stock Exchange KSE 100 Index has grown over 400% in the last 5 Years.“Pakistan’s Economy is a Pleasant Surprise: Stocks are up, growth is rising and poverty is falling.”
