Poverty Drops To 17.2 Percent

Even with a war and an ongoing world wide economic recession, Pakistan's economy is doing not so bad. According to the World Bank, Pakistan's poverty has dropped 5.1 percent from 22.3% to 17.2%. Wow, and you would think we would become more poor with so much chaos in the country! Also Pakistan's per capita GDP [Growth Domestic Product] is surprisingly better than rival India at $996 against India's $976. Now that is some amazing news! I hope the best for our country and our stock market [used to be the best in the world back in 2001-2004 [or maybe 2005]] and Inshallah we will be a economic world leader like our friend China.
