Pakistan has potential for higher growth, which is necessary to accommodate a rapidly growing working-age population. The country has considerable natural resources, and ample scope exists to improve agricultural productivity and a ready market for an expanded manufacturing and service sector.

ADB is working with the government and the private sector to improve the Pakistan’s infrastructure, energy security, and basic public services. Aligned with national development objectives, ADB’s partnership priorities aim to attract investment, create industries and jobs, and improve the quality of life of citizens.
