Pakistan's leading politicians will continue to spar, despite the range and gravity of the challenges that the country is facing. The debate over whether and how to curtail the powers of the presidency remains unresolved. d3b5a954b4f4c1babc941a3742b2077fFri, 06 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 National security will remain the most pressing issue on the domestic political agenda, but there is little chance that the battle against Islamist militancy will be won decisively in the medium term. It is likely that the death of a militant Islamist leader, Baitullah Mehsud, will have only a limited impact in the long term on Pakistan's battle against terrorism. The US's policy on Pakistan and Afghanistan encompasses both military strikes on suspected Islamist militants and development assistance, but will also seek co-operation and ???accountability??? from Pakistan. e27b86036d83a20c53ec80a5d2271e9dWed, 07 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly Country Reports. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every Country Report. For most countries, except a few for which data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in an easy-to-read graphical format. a26af1d3a339ee879bfd6e522c3d9ceaThu, 13 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/pakistan_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlA Tortuous Road Ahead The Pakistani government doubtless has its work cut out over the remainder of 2009 and going into 2010, with the economy sagging and the battle against militants far from over. While there has been a surprising display of political unity as far as the need to push back the Taliban is concerned, this harmony masks lingering grievances which could easily resurface. Notably, while he has kept a low profile in recent months, the leader of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-N, Nawaz Sharif, we do not believe that he has buried his ambitions of a political comeback. e52467a6c310835ca346ff07b01c02eaTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The reinstatement of the Supreme Court chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, has reduced political tension, and a degree of stability is likely to return in the short term. However, broader political stability will remain elusive.

Worryingly, there has been no let-up in militant attacks as we go to press, with signs that many previously disparate insurgent groups may be coalescing and that the Taliban are gaining ground. The government, whose approval ratings are wilting, is facing difficult demands in trying to placate a disillusioned domestic electorate while maintaining cordial relationships with key international partners. a9170acd8929670b4d040e4aaed9b870Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 National security will remain the most pressing issue on the domestic political agenda, but there is little chance that the battle against Islamist militancy will be decisively won in the medium term.

However, Mr Sharif still has no clear path to power. The reinstatement of the Supreme Court chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, has resolved immediate tensions, and a degree of stability is likely to return in the very short term. 00581420b08b03ae5073db0ffc244487Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The recent terrorist attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai and the Pakistani city of Lahore, as well as the government's peace deal in Swat, will ensure that there is a renewed international focus on Pakistan's ability to rein in terrorism. Political stability is set to worsen in the short term and is unlikely to improve greatly in 2009-10 as a whole. Tensions between the government and the security forces could rise. 61265058849f71335c144584a568228bTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/pakistan_infrastructure_report_2009.htmlPakistan has experienced a high level of activity in its infrastructure sector in 2008. This has mostly been focused on the power sector and the road network. In addition, construction of housing has been a top priority. 53ba19af757f38e7a6273135baa3e010Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/country_report_pakistan_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The terrorist attack on Mumbai, India's financial capital, in late November 2008 has led to a rise in tensions between Pakistan and India and will ensure a renewed focus on Pakistan's ability to rein in locally based terrorist groups. Political stability is unlikely to improve greatly in 2009-10. Tensions between the government and the security forces could rise. 127e388787dd5a636c956dbcca4d62f1Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/pakistan_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlBattling On Multiple Fronts The road ahead for Pakistan, both politically and economically, will remain tortuous in 2009 with a confluence of new challenges having emerged. A more effective tackling of the militant threat, beyond the present military broadside, will remain of paramount importance, as will defusing brewing tensions with India. Although the new US President Barack Obama's strategy towards Pakistan is not entirely clear yet, with the controversial use of unmanned drones to strike militant hideouts along Pakistan's border with Afganistan having continued at the start of his tenure, we believe that he will adopt a more finely calibrated approach than his predecesor. bc6f028b80663b744eeae4054a9ad696Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/pakistan_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Pakistan, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.

The threat of Indian aggression will limit the extent of inter-party political rivalry in the short term, but political stability is unlikely to improve greatly in 2009-10.

Politically there is still great uncertainty, particularly in view of the growing threat from militants in the northwestern tribal regions. President Asif Ali Zardari will likely face an uphill struggle in convincing Pakistanis that he is the unifying leader that the country desperately needs, not to mention in building the trust of the military. 112ccd1d95037579f3e707338ef39cf9Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/pakistan/pakistan_business_forecast_report_q3_2008.htmlNew Government Faces Mounting Economic Challenges As Pakistan looks to successfully negotiate the path towards a more democratic system of government, we are optimistic that there is potential in the long-term health of the country. The resounding victory for parties advocating a restoration of judges ousted by President Pervez Musharraf indicates that constitutional reform will be implemented with little opposition by the president, although we see scope for internal division within the new governing coalition. While Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani faces significant economic problems, we identify several opportunities to ensure that Pakistan achieves average annual growth of over 6. 357e04042e5b505ce878e8c4276df99fMon, 12 May 2008 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Pakistan
