Pakistan -- Economic policy. Pakistan -- Economic conditions N2 - Providing a non-technical understanding of poor economic growth and performance of the public sector in Pakistan relative to that of peer countries, Vaqar Ahmed's Pakistan's Agenda for Economic Reforms serves as an interesting introduction to policymakers, journalists, and civil society organizations interested in carrying out research and advocacy work as part of their social accountability efforts and attempts to improve economic governance in the country. Delving one step ahead from recent literature on Pakistan's economy, the author focuses on why reform of institutions dealing with economic policy regulation and management is imperative, while simultaneously speculating issues underlying the past decade, and identifying key areas of improvement and pending structural reforms that Pakistan's economy could pursue for inclusive growth and social justice. Exploring the fragmented structure of energy governance, public expenditure management, trade, transit, and the labor market, this book serves as an important resource for readers wishing to have an understanding of economic challenges and reform options UR - https://www.amazon.com/Pakistans-Agenda-Economic-Reforms-Vaqar/dp/0199406057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548313790&sr=8-1&keywords=9780199406050 ER -
