The impact of manufacturing activities in the trading
partner on imports into Pakistan
Aadil Nakhoda and Farooq PashaFirst published: 26 February 2018
Abstract
Econometric analysis performed for this paper suggests that Pakistan is likely to import more from trading partners that have a larger manufacturing sector relative to their GDP for the majority of product categories. The impact is stronger for processed products. This implies a higher risk of import dependency and associated competitive pressure from imports on manufacturing activities within Pakistan.
