Abstract / Description
The media has sometimes carried opinions regarding China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), exaggerating, detracting and understating its importance for Pakistan. This article identifies those components that have been approved, completed or under active implementation, without indulging in speculation about plans to come. Benefits that can come from CPEC are discussed with the reiteration that such benefits are not automatic. Therefore, the article outlines policy reforms and institutional arrangements that should enable Pakistan to derive maximum benefits for the economy, for large segment of the population and minimise risks.
