History:

Trade between India and Pakistan has been fundamentally influenced by factors that are not purely economic. At the time of Partition in 1947, both economies were heavily interdependent, with the share of the Indian market in Pakistan’s exports at close to one fourth, and over half of Pakistan’s imports coming from India. Thereafter, bilateral trade has had a cheered history. Trade virtually ceased after the wars of 1965 and 1971.
Some positive steps have been made since 1995, when India announced its decision to grant most favored nation (MFN) status to Pakistan, and the latter established a positive list with respect to imports from India. The signing of the South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) in 2004 was a major step forward in the eventual establishment of a customs union in the region. Recently, Pakistan has announced it potentially landmark decision to grant MFN status to India by the end of 2012. In the interim period, a restricted positive list has transitioned to a negative list, which opens up a large percentage of tariff lines for imports from India.
Further, the two countries have agreed to simplify customs procedures and facilitate the process of goods certification. India has also announced that it welcomes investment by resident Pakistanis and companies.
Clearly, the environment for bilateral trade has greatly improved. This augurs well for future growth in trade between the two countries, who are making an effort to move away from the old view of “peace first, trade later” to “trade now, peace later.” It is hoped that the expansion of trade will create stronger constituencies for peace in both countries.
Our objective is to explore the possibilities of

    The spree of economic integration process has inflated the trade volumes dramatically during the last few decades. And here international trade consequently demonstrates the extent of globalization with increased spatial interdependencies amongst the participants of the global economy and their level of integration. The volume of exchanged goods and services between the nations is taking a growing share in generating wealth, mainly by offering economic growth opportunities in new regions and by reducing the costs of procurement for a wide array of trade bales. The initiatives under the rubric of multilateralism by the WTO, the bilateral as well the regional agreements popularly known as the PTAs, gargantuan efforts undertaken by the ICC to simplify the trade procedures and practices, tremendous emphasis on external sector liberalization proposed by the think tanks and business community compelling the policy makers across the globe to go for opening up-all these worked as the pertinent catalysts for huge surge in trade volumes. Now, the international trade continues to grow every year as nations expand their global trade and new nations are joining.…

    Trade is backbone and life blood of economic growth and development for any country. No country shall survive without trade in today’s liberalization and globalization eras. The importance of trade is appreciated within the framework of comparative advantage of a region/country concerned. But trade is much more important to the land locked backward North East Region of India which characterized by low income, industrially backward and small size markets that fail to absorb sufficient volume of output which in turn leads to low incentive for inflow investment.…

    Pak-China Relationship

    • 1453 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The relationship between Pakistan and China is a geopolitical cornerstone for both countries. The solidarity between us and the unanimity of views that we demonstrate is unmatched by any relationship between two sovereign states. The strategic partnership between our two countries is the bedrock of all other partnerships. Sometimes it is said that economic relationship does not match the depth of our strategic proximity. The leadership on both sides has taken a conscious decision to fill this gap. President Asif Zardari has visited China nine times since assuming office. Former Prime Minister visited China five times since early 2008. Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf will be in Tianjin this week. Premier Wen Jiabao paid a historic visit in December 2010. In all these visits, the overarching accent has been on economic partnership.Let us start with our strengths. Our economic relations are growing fast. We have a good architecture for economic and trade cooperation. A Joint Economic Commission (JEC) oversees progress in the implementation of the projects under the Five Year Development Programme (FYDP) for Economic and Trade Cooperation. The first cycle of the programme was concluded last year and we have launched the second five year programme that will end in 2016. Under this plan, 36 projects valued at $14 billion, and covering energy, transport, ICT, industrial, agricultural, health care and education sectors have been identified. The Economic Cooperation Group (ECG) monitors implementation at the working level. We have signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on goods, services and investment. The bilateral trade is increasing. Since 2008, the total volume of trade has grown by 70 percent; whereas Pakistani exports increased two-fold from $1 billion to $2.2 billion during the same period. Last year, the trade growth rate was about 22 percent. Modest but encouraging! This takes us nearer to our goal of $15 billion by 2015. China is…
