A growth vent anchored in history and geography

Working paper State, Macroeconomics and Political Economy

Authors

Ijaz Nabi

Country Director, Pakistan, International Growth Centre

This paper reviews Pakistan’s recent growth vents and their impact on the economy in terms of creating a vibrant Indus Basin market. It then argues that the new growth vent Pakistan seeks requires re-creating the historical trade routes. This will be beneficial for regional equity in Pakistan and give new energy to the Indus Basin market.
