| description |
This paper analyzes the public
infrastructure trends and gaps in Pakistan, especially by
placing the Pakistani experience in an international
context. It examines the major sectors of public
infrastructure, including (a) transportation, (b)
telecommunication, (c) electricity generation and (d) water,
sanitation and irrigation. Public infrastructure in
Pakistan has made some progress over the last five decades.
However, compared to other similar countries, the rate of
improvement in Pakistan has been among the slowest for the
majority of public infrastructure sectors. This has matched
the relatively weak economic growth performance of the
country in recent decades, which has remained at or below
the median country in the world. Moreover the infrastructure
improvement has been insufficient to ameliorate
substantially the infrastructure conditions of Pakistani citizens. |
