Description

This paper would attempt to set the ball rolling for subsequent discussion by the panelists at this and subsequent sessions by addressing five oft‐asked questions about the CPEC: 1. What is the total size committed by China, what are the different components of CPEC, and how is the phasing of the program? 2. Where do we stand? What has the CPEC achieved so far and what should we expect in the future? 3. What net benefits are likely to accrue to the Pakistan economy and the society at large? 4. How much financing burden the CPEC projects would impose on Pakistan’s external account? 5. What are the possible risks to the economy that should be avoided?
