| Interesting background info on the Pak army Going back to Pak army's economic superpower...What percentage of the GDP and GNP is it? asidd66: This is difficult to calculate but their own estimates are about 4 % of GDP. I would say that their share in private sector assets is about 7-10 percent of private sector assets. This is a large number for any single group. How much land does the forces own in each province? asidd66: Difficult to bifurcate but to give you a taste - they own about 7-9 million acres in Punjab alone. |
