SECTORIAL COMPOSITION OF GDP OF

PAKISTAN

INTRODUCTION:
When “ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF
PAKISTAN” came into being a major or the majority part of its
population was related to agriculture sector. So, the economy of
Pakistan was dependent on the agriculture sector and in comparison
other sectors which are industrial sector and service sector were at a
very low level.
With
the passage of time the other sectors (industrial and services) were
in a very slow and steady change but it was inverse in the case for
agriculture sector. It was declining.
In some aspect it was good for the
economy but in the field the people who are related to agriculture
sector (including livestock, fisheries, forestry, etc) were pushed at a
very backward position due to many reasons.
Since, we know what
includes in agriculture sector. Similarly, second (2nd) sector which is
industrial sector includes mining and quarrying, manufacturing (small
and large scale), construction, electricity and gas distribution, etc.
And services sector includes transport, storage and communication,
wholesale and retail trade, finance and insurance, ownerships of
dwellings, public administration and defense, community, S & P
services, etc.
For many years Pakistan’s economy is in a very bad
shape because of many reasons. Our all sectors are not able to
produce or utilized as they were expected to be.
To show sectorial
composition economy of Pakistan since independence. For this some
tables is given below:
