Pakistan has a democratically elected government where the ruling party is Pakistan Muslim league N. Common perception is that it is a weak government, nevertheless backed by the western powers. It is not considered to be a stable government which could change anytime.
Law & Order and the corruption situation in the country were at its most horrible. However, the press is quite free where the industry as a whole has seen not growing over the past few years.
Health and Education sectors are the two most important sectors for any country, specially a developing nation. It is the government’s responsibility to provide the best possible health care and educational facilities for its people. Industrialization in the country is fairly stagnant with international investors quite wary of entering this risky Pakistani market. Therefore, latest manufacturing technology is significantly missing from the market. As a result, the countries imports are higher than its exports. And the main exports are from the agricultural sector and the textile industry.
