3. Introduction
• CPEC is the abbreviation of china
Pakistan economic corridor.
• CPEC is an ongoing development mega
projects whose aim is to connect the
Gwadar port of Pakistan to China's
northwestern region of Xinjiang, via a
network of highways, railways and
pipelines.
• CPEC is a collection of infrastructure
projects currently under construction
throughout Pakistan.

4. • The economic corridor is considered central to
China-Pakistan relations and will run about 2700
km from Gwadar to Kashghar.
• China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and its
connectivity with Central Asia, Middle East and
Africa will help to shape entire region.
• Overall construction costs are estimated around
$46 billion, with the entire project expected to be
completed in several years.

5. Brief History
• Li Keqiang during his visit to Pakistan in May 2013,
the CPEC will act as a bridge for the new Maritime
Silk Route that imagines linking 3 billion people in
Asia, Africa and Europe
• Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the
corridor would transform Pakistan into a regional
hub and give China a shorter and cheaper route
for trade with much of Asia, the Middle East and
Africa.
• The layout of the economic corridor has taken
various regions' interests into consideration and
will benefit a wide-ranging public, said Xi.

6. Benefits
• CPEC will not only benefit China and Pakistan but
will have positive impact on Iran, Afghanistan,
India, Central Asian Republic, and the region.
• $46 billion promised by China is three times the
total FDI Pakistan got in the last period.
• So now Pakistan has feasibility through CPEC as
its FDI was on a decline. Now it has gained
momentum by nearly 17% of their GDP.
• The project is estimated to directly create some
700,000 jobs up to 2030, and speed up GDP
growth significantly.

7. • Pakistan is facing acute energy problems. The
country's overall capacity of power generation is
23,538 MW, leaving a shortfall of nearly 40,000 to
60,000 MW. If things go as planned, by 2017 these
projects would add 10,400 MW to the national grid.
• Chinese banks are willing to finance proposed
infrastructure projects at an interest rate of 1.6%.
• The CPEC deal also includes $ 5.9 billion for road
projects and $ 3.7 billion for railway projects, all to
be developed by 2017.

12. 3.Special Economic Zone
• A special economic zone (SEZ) is an area in which
business and trade laws are different from rest of the
country.
• SEZS are located within a country's national borders,
and their aims include: increased trade, increased
