country is determined by two main factors that are demand and
supply side determinants.

29. EFFECT OF EXPORTS ON THE ECONOMEY
OF PAKISTAN
To enhance exports the government secured the
Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) Plus status
from the European Union (EU) in December 2013. As
per this scheme, Pakistan’s products will be given
access, which will be about 20 percent of exports at
zero tariff and about 70 percent at preferential rates
to EU markets for three years (from January 1, 2014 to
December 31, 2016) and hence will aid the
stimulation of the economy. In 2013, Pakistan’s total
export to the EU was about $ six billion, which, owing
to the GSP Plus scheme, is expected to increase to $
seven billion in 2014, as per an estimation done by the
ministry of commerce. Expectedly, more jobs will be
generated in the manufacturing sector of both large
(e.g. textile) and small scale (e.g. sports, surgical,
leather and cutlery) industry.

33. POLITICAL FACTORS:
From the time of independence there has been very less time of
democracy in our country which has been a big hurdle in the
foreign investments. Due to this entire scenario the foreign
investors avoid investing in the Pakistan. Traders don’t want to
do exports from Pakistan due to this uncertain environment.
ECONOMIC FACTORS:
Pakistan’s economy is the world’s 27th largest economy
based on its purchasing power. The country remained
impoverished due to internal political disturbances and
negligible foreign investment, due to that economic growth is
quite slow. Inflation is at its highest, while the interest rates
are at their highest. Terrorism and target killing has also
effects on the economy of Pakistan. Investors or traders are
avoiding investing or trading in Pakistan due to the fear of
Terrorism and targeting killing.
34. SOCIAL FACTOR
Social factors are related to the culture of any country.so
our culture doesn’t have impact on the economy or exports
of the country.
TECHONOLOGICAL FACTORS:
We are far behind developed and most of the developing
countries in respect of technology thus it has a negative
impact on our exports.
