Introduction
As work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corri dor (CPEC) enters its third year, things are beginning to take shape. A number of projects have been delivered, some have been dropped altogether, and quite a few are being added to the Early Harvest category. Meanwhile, new project proposals are being pitched every day for their inclusion in CPEC. Now that the general elections are approaching, as per expectations budgetary allocations for such projects have increased. Inauguration ceremonies of infra structure projects are going to become much more common, as the year progresses.
In this issue of CPEC Monitor, we will take a look at the related developments during Febru ary-May 2017, and the foreseeable future trajec tory of the economic and policy landscape of the country.
