‘CPEC is a symbol of shared prosperity,’ says PCJCCI President

The Pakistan China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) has welcomed the launch of the Pakistan Economic Survey 2024-25 and Budget 2025-26, viewing them as clear signals of Pakistan’s dedication to economic stability, investment growth, and regional connectivity via CPEC. Highlighting a 4.6% inflation rate and 2.7% GDP growth, the chamber noted rising investor confidence and Chinese interest as CPEC enters a new phase focused on job creation and industrial development. PCJCCI emphasized its support for bilateral trade and praised infrastructure milestones like the Multan-Sukkur motorway and Gwadar Airport. Leaders also highlighted Gwadar’s rise as a strategic hub, attracting over \$250 million in Chinese investment, and lauded budget allocations for CPEC projects, social infrastructure, and digital connectivity.
