China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) turns one year this month. Since its signing in
April 2015, different politicians, policy analysts, and businessmen have termed it as a “game changer” for Pakistan. This is not hard to realize since CPEC is not only expected to revamp the ailing infrastructure of Pakistan, but will also help in reducing the energy crisis through its energy projects. These energy projects constitute 76 percent of the total CPEC investment.
In terms of development, CPEC will bring about significant improvement in some of the
most underdeveloped districts in Pakistan, mainly in Balochistan, KPK, southern Punjab,
and northern Sindh. This will be achieved by connecting such districts through networks of roads to the main cities, which are the hubs of development. CPEC projects will also increase employment opportunities for unskilled workers of these areas in particular.
