Pakistani business leaders are pushing to fast-track major projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), calling them a game-changer for the country's economic future. 🌟 At a high-stakes meeting in Islamabad this week, industry heavyweights highlighted CPEC's role in creating jobs, boosting tech innovation, and powering infrastructure development.
'CPEC isn't just about roads and power plants—it's about unlocking opportunities in education, AI, and green industries,' said Saud Faisal Malik, head of the FPCCI's CPEC committee. 💡 His team plans to propose tax breaks and simpler regulations to attract more investors to Pakistan's growing markets.
Since its 2013 launch as part of China's Belt and Road Initiative, CPEC has already brought $25.4 billion in Chinese investment, per Ambassador Jiang Zaidong. The stats speak volumes: 236K jobs created, 510 km of highways built, and enough new energy projects to power 8 million+ homes. 🔌
With Gwadar Port (Pakistan's new trade hub 🚢) expanding rapidly, analysts say CPEC could reshape regional supply chains—and give young entrepreneurs a seat at the global table.
