Finance professionals who base their work on risk assessment are now faced with factoring CPEC outcomes into finance strategies and governance strategies, especially if one is working in a directly impacted public sector enterprise.The finance profession wants to play a role in making this game changer into a sustainable success…

This ancient trading route extends from China across Central Asia to the Mediterranean region.My parents who have been there explained that the most popular route is from Xian in Central China to the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the west.Xian is one of China’s ancient capitals and the main gateway to the Silk Road where the Terracotta Army is buried.It consists of thousands of live-size statues of warriors, horses and chariots buried 2,200 years ago along with the first …

http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2017/02/11/cpec-will-be-strengthened-if-iran-joins-cm-shehbaz/
Uncategorized8 HOURS AGO BY HASSAANAHMED“The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will be further strengthened if Iran becomes a part of this game changing project,” Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif said during a ceremony held in Lahore to celebrate the 38th anniversary of the Iran’s revolution.Speaking on the occasion, Shahbaz Sharif said that the revolution was a significant moment in world history and one of the few instances when a people had ousted a cruel system that was operating against their wishes.He further added that the Iran’s progress could not be halted despite all hindrances and that this spoke volumes about the courage of the Iranian people. The chief minister quoted several verses from the poetry of Allama Iqbal, who is widely read and admired in Iran as well. “The people of Iran followed Iqbal’s philosophy of Khudi in its true essence,” he said.Pakistan and Iran…

Senate committee dissatisfied over CPEC

https://www.dawn.com/news/1314142/senate-committee-dissatisfied-over-cpec



A REPORTER — PUBLISHED about an hour agoISLAMABAD: The Senate Standing Committee on Communications has expressed dissatisfaction over the government’s attitude regarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.The committee’s chairman Muhammad Daud Khan Achakzai of the Awami National Party said on Friday that it was strange that trade convoys had started passing without the completion of the western route of the corridor.“Whenever we ask about the progress on the western route, we hear the excuse that the funds and workforce are not available,” he said.The chief secretary of Balochistan confessed before the members that a committee formed on the orders of the prime minister to acquire land in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had not held any meeting, hence no area had been acquired.

Mr Achakzai said it meant that the route existed only on papers and the facts were entirely different as compared to wh…

Financing burden of CPEC

http://www.dawn.com/news/1313992/financing-burden-of-cpec

ISHRATHUSAIN — UPDATED about an hour ago
The writer is former governor of the State Bank of Pakistan.The ongoing debate on the impact of CPEC projects on future external payments’ obligations is welcome, but should be informed by analysis based on facts rather than opinion.The total committed amount under CPEC of $50 billion is divided into two broad categories: $35bn is allocated for energy projects while $15bn is for infrastructure, Gwadar development, industrial zones and mass transit schemes. The entire portfolio is to be completed by 2030. Therefore, the implementation schedule would determine the payments stream. Energy projects are planned for completion by 2020, but given the usual bureaucratic delays, it won’t be before 2023 that all projects are fully operational. Under the early harvest programme, 10,000 MW would be added to the national grid by 2018. Therefore, the disbursement schedule of energy projects is eight yea…

A Unmissable opportunity for Sukuk issuance

Srinagar | Posted : Feb 11 2017 1:33AM | Updated: Feb 10 2017 11:17PMThe China-Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC), also known as One-Belt-One-Road (OBOR) is being referred to as the game-changer. About year and a half ago, I researched it and wrote about it in ‘Greater Kashmir’. The way things have unfurled in CPEC hitherto makes me reiterate even more confidently what I predicted then. This project covers 60 countries and 27 of them are Muslim nations. It reduces the distance of Western China to Europe by 5000kms, which roughly translates to 45 shipping days. Those who know international business can gauge the significance of 45 days. The $54 billion dollar investment is being spent to come up with the new roads, renovate and broaden old ones, build ports, airports, power plants, wind parks, solar farms, pipelines …
