increased at an unimaginable pace.
China as Pakistan's Largest Bilateral Creditor
Ching’s ability to exert influence on Pakistan's economy has grown substantially in recent years, mainly
due to the fact that Beijing is now Islamabad's largest creditor. According to documents released by
Pakistan's finance ministry, Pakistan's total public and publicly guaranteed external debt stood at $44.35
hillion in June 2013, just 9.3 percent of which was owed to China. By April 2021, this external debt had
ballooned to $90.12 billion, with Pakistan owing 27.4 percent ~ $24.7 billion ~ of its total external debt
to China, according to the Intemational Monetary Fund (IME).
‘Additionally, China provided financial and technical expertise to help Pakistan build its road
infrastructure, expanding north-south connectivity to improve the efficiency of moving goods from
Karachi all the way to Gilgit-Baltistan (POX). These investments were critical in better integrating the
country's ports, especially Karachi, with urban centers in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces.
Despite power asymmetsies between China and Pakistan, the latter still has tremendous agency in
determining its own policies, even if such policies come at the expense of the long-term socioeconomic
welfare of Pakistani citizens. {CBSE St 22 (Term 1D]
