Why CPEC Failed to Transform Pakistan’s Economy | Kamran Khan | On My Radar

For more than a decade, CPEC was presented as Pakistan’s path to economic transformation. Despite billions of dollars in investment and large scale infrastructure projects, the expected industrial growth never materialized. In this On My Radar episode, Kamran Khan speaks with Khalid Mansoor, Pakistan’s foremost CPEC expert and former CEO of HUBCO, to explain why CPEC failed to deliver its promised economic revolution. The discussion examines high energy costs, circular debt, costly power projects, capacity payments, governance failures, security challenges, and China’s growing frustration. It also explores why CPEC Phase One focused more on infrastructure than industry and how key opportunities were missed. This episode also asks whether CPEC Phase Two can still be rescued or whether Pakistan has already lost a historic development opportunity. Watch the full analysis for a clear and honest assessment of Pakistan’s most ambitious economic project. #nukta #nuktapakistan #kamrankhan #onmyradar #omr #cpec #pakchina #pakistaneconomy #economicrevolution Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
