Natural resources vs. the need for Sustainable economic growth
Despite being rich in all-natural, material, and human resources, why are we suffering from economic problems? This question certainly bothers the conscious and educated Pakistanis to some extent.
China became independent after Pakistan in 1949 and at that time China’s condition was worse, the long war had weakened China’s economy while its infrastructure had been destroyed and thus, China’s reconstruction process was extremely difficult. As difficult as it seemed, no one could have imagined that in just seven decades, China would become the world’s second-largest power, as the country had been embroiled in a 22-year civil war. Industries and the economy suffered the worst, leaving only 15% at the time of China’s independence.

It is not possible to deny the basic economic fact that most of the world’s economy depends on petroleum products and energy resources, but it would not be wrong to say that the world’s economic engine needs petroleum products, but at the same time, the world’s developed countries are trying to get new and affordable resources so that the energy crisis could be eliminated, but our reliance on more traditional methods and resources than new experiments remains a tradition.
Three years have passed since the current government came to power, with representatives pointing out economic growth in the country, though these claims are not false because international organizations are also acknowledging that Pakistan’s economic situation is improving, the real development and prosperity is the constant.
