ISLAMABAD, Oct 12 (): “Generally, the Chinese side has always wanted that Pakistan must grow and must develop using the advantage of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
It would become a new engine for the economic development of Pakistan,” Chairman of KASB Group, Nasir Ali Shah Bukhari, said on Thursday, according to Gwadar Pro.
Speaking at the event “10 Years of Belt and Road Initiative – CPEC” held in Serena Hotel, Islamabad, Nasir said that CPEC was launched as a game-changer project in Pakistan, and it changed the livelihoods of millions of people in the country.
“Energy, transportation infrastructure and power projects such as Gwadar port, Gwadar East-Bay Expressway and Sahiwal Power Plant have laid a solid foundation for Pakistan’s economic development,” he added.
Since its inception, CPEC has opened doors for economic and social welfare in Pakistan. This has been achieved through the creation of jobs, exchange of personnel, poverty alleviation, and various relief projects.
These findings were revealed in a report by Pakistan’s stock brokerage and corporate advisory firm, KASB KTrade Securities, during the event.
According to the report, CPEC has significantly contributed to Pakistan’s economy by boosting the development of industries such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and textiles.
