Pakistan’s economic conditions blamed for the delay in CPEC

COPHC chairman highlighted the need for fully unlocking CPEC’s economic potential

China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC) Chairman Yo Bo has emphasised that Pakistan’s economic circumstances were primarily responsible for delay in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)’s development.

In a meeting at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Yo shed light on the transformative progress of Gwadar under CPEC.

He underscored the significance of Gwadar, hailing it as CPEC’s pivotal axis. The first stage of Gwadar’s port and city development, along with the Gwadar Free Zone, has been completed.

His remarks outlined that Gwadar had been transformed from a modest village into a thriving modern city, replete with cutting-edge technology.

China has made substantial investment in Gwadar’s growth, spanning construction, airport infrastructure and healthcare facilities.

The Gwadar Free Zone, which came under the auspices of Free Zone Company in 2018, has already established its phase one, spanning 25 hectares adjacent to the port. This area has attracted six companies.

The North Free Zone, covering a large area of 900 hectares, has been designated for industrial and warehousing purposes, which will play its role in processing raw material for export.

Speaking about Balochistan’s economic disparity, Chairman Yo highlighted the untapped potential of the region, which was brimming with natural resources, but plagued by underdevelopment and negligible trade.

“Gwadar Port, however, is fully operational, equipped with facilities to manage imports and exports.”

The COPHC chairman outlined the Gwadar Port’s operational status, its cargo handling capacity and plans for the Gwadar International Airport’s full-scale operation.

He also spoke about the port’s role in facilitating barter trade with Iran, Afghanistan and Russia, as well as its strategic advantages.

The robust incentives extended to Chinese companies in free zones, coupled with the prospect of win-win partnerships for Pakistani and Chinese businesses, were a recurring theme.

An LCCI delegation was invited to Gwadar to come and explore opportunities of collaboration and investment, which highlighted China’s eagerness to foster joint ventures and establish industries, not just within Gwadar but also beyond its borders.

Speaking on the occasion, LCCI President Kashif Anwar announced that a business delegation would visit Gwadar soon. He hailed Gwadar’s role within CPEC to catalyse regional connectivity, benefiting not only China and Pakistan but also adjacent nations such as Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics.

He viewed CPEC as a cornerstone of Pakistan’s industrial and economic revitalisation.

Despite the strides taken since CPEC’s inception in 2015, Anwar acknowledged that much remained to be realised. The eight-year journey saw the construction of new infrastructure, from extensive road networks to power plants and free zones.

He underlined the need for fully unlocking CPEC’s economic potential, looking towards Chinese investors for guidance.

  1. Factors that increase the risk of ovarian cancer include a family history of the disease, genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2), older age, and certain hormonal factors.

  2. In project finance, the lenders (usually banks or investors) have limited recourse to the sponsors (the entities or companies initiating the project). This means that if the project encounters financial difficulties, the lenders can only claim assets and cash flows generated by the project itself, rather than seeking repayment from the sponsors’ other assets.

  3. The future of economic cooperation between Pakistan and China holds fascinating potential. As many know, the two countries have invested heavily in strengthening ties through landmark projects. However, recent discussions reveal there may be more complexity behind the scenes than meets the eye.

    While official statements paint an optimistic picture, insider perspectives tell a different story. It seems economic and political realities on the ground have hindered progress. Yet both sides remain hopeful of unlocking the full potential of their joint ventures.

    For those interested in understanding the nuances shaping this crucial relationship, I came across an insightful article worth reading. It offers a balanced perspective on accomplishments so far as well as prevailing challenges. The author clearly has an in-depth understanding of the key issues at play.

    I won’t spoil the details here, but I highly recommend looking up the article to learn more. It’s a fascinating look into the workings of a partnership that could transform the region’s economic landscape – if both partners can navigate present hurdles. For anyone invested in the future of Pakistan-China ties, the read is well worth your time.
