General Pervez Musharraf's tenure from 1999 to 2008 was marked by significant economic reforms, including a tripling of exports and increasing the GDP from $60 billion to $170 billion. His rule saw the Kargil conflict with India and controversial support for the U.S. war on terror, alongside major human capital investments in education and health. Despite declaring a state of emergency in 2007 and executing the Lal Masjid operation, Musharraf's era is viewed as relatively more stable compared to previous and subsequent leaderships.
