Abstract

The paper analyzes the economic implications of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) for
Pakistan since it is a fate changer for Pakistan. Moreover, it has been concluded between Pakistan
and China to explore the bilateral trade and enhance the regional cooperation. However, being the
key beneficiary of CPEC, Pakistan would directly observe economic development and political
stability. It would also make Pakistan a regional economic power since it connects Pakistan with
regional and international markets. Apart from the spread of a network of roads among all
provinces of Pakistan, it socio-economically integrates the all-ethnic groups of Pakistan. The paper
also aims to address how China would use CPEC as a game changer for Pakistan in the region. The
paper is qualitative and is based on investigation and exploration of various facts. It also suggests
how Pakistan would ensure employment opportunities for its citizens via CPEC.
