Pak emerging economic corridors - Pakistan Observer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THIS article maybe viewed in continuation of my earlier article “SDZ: A smarter path to industrial growth in Pakistan” published in Pakistan Observer on June 21, 2026. For decades, Pakistan’s economic development story has revolved around a few major urban centres, particularly Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. These cities attracted investment, talent, infrastructure and business activity, often leaving smaller industrial cities outside the main economic narrative. However, a gradual transformatio
