9. • INDUSTRIALIZATION PROCESS IN PAKISTAN IS NOT SMOOTH, FACED SEVERAL UPHEAVALS AND BARRIERS
IN THIS ERA
• MAJOR SETBACK TO INDUSTRIALIZATION PROCESS OCCURRED WHEN BHUTTO NATIONALIZED THE
INDUSTRIES
• THIS ACT CREATE MISTRUST AMONG INDUSTRIALISTS
1977 T0 2004

10. • AFTER THAT ZIA ENGAGED HIMSELF IN AFGHANISTAN, AND PAKISTAN FOUGHT PROXY WAR AGAINST
FORMER SOVIET UNION
• IT BROUGHT DRUG AND KALASHANKOF CULTURE IN PAKISTAN
• DUE TO THIS WAR FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS REDUCED, PAKISTAN WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS
PROGRESS WHICH IT HAD DURING EARLY 60’S

11. • UNSTABLE GOV.'S DEFAMED PAKISTAN INTERNATIONALLY, DUE TO WHICH MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS (MNCS) DO NOT SHOW INTEREST TOWARDS INDUSTRY HERE

14. CONCLUSION
“GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES”
• IF A COUNTRY’S EXPORTS ARE LARGER THAN ITS IMPORTS, THE COUNTRY EXCELS, REVERSE CASE SPELLS
CERTAIN DOOM
• PAKISTAN FALLS INTO THE LATTER CATEGORY
• ONLY HOPE FOR SALVATION FOR PAKISTAN LIES IN ITS INDUSTRIALIZATION,

15. UNLESS PAKISTAN ESTABLISHES DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES WHICH GENERATE REVENUE
AND REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON IMPORTS, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR A BETTER, BRIGHTER
FUTURE.
LONG LIVE PAKISTAN.
