Population
Following three periods of heavy rainfall during the particularly intense 2011
monsoon, many people were displaced by widespread flooding in Sindh and
Balochistan and localised riverine flooding along some stretches of the Indus.
Approximately 823,000 houses were damaged or destroyed in the two provinces,
and an estimated 1.8 million people (300k households) were displaced.
In agreement with the government, the Shelter Cluster was rolled out in
September 2011. It incorporated the Temporary Settlement Support Unit (TSSU),
tasked with certain CCCM information management responsibilities. Specifically,
TSSU monitored and reported on the locations of and conditions in temporary
settlements that sprang up as people were displaced due to rising floodwaters
and collapsed houses. In September 2012, the Pakistan Humanitarian Country
Team confirmed IOM as national lead agency for the CCCM and Shelter Cluster.
Tourism
T
Tourism in Pakistan is a growing industry.[1][2][3] In 2010, Lonely Planet termed
Pakistan as being "...tourism's ‘next big thing’ for more years than we care to
remember. [But] world media headlines [always] send things off the
rails".[4] This geographically and ethnically diverse country has much to offer, from
natural beauty and historical heritage to cultural diversity. According to the Travel
and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2017 released by the World Economic
Forum, the direct contribution of travel and tourism to Pakistan's GDP in 2015
was US$ 328.3 million, constituting 2.8% of the total GDP.[5] According to
the World Travel and Tourism Council, the direct contribution of travel and tourism
to Pakistan's GDP in 2016 was US$ 7.6 billion (PKR 793.0 billion), constituting
2.7% of the total GDP.[6] By 2025, the government predicts tourism will
contribute ₨1 trillion (US$9.5 billion) to the Pakistani economy.[7]
Trade
Pakistan has bilateral and multilateral trade agreements with many nations and
international organizations. It is a member of the World Trade Organisation, part
of the South Asian Free Trade Area agreement and the China-Pakistan Free Trade
Agreement. Fluctuating world demand for its exports, domestic political
uncertainty, and the impact of occasional droughts on its agricultural production
have all contributed to variability in Pakistan's trade deficit. The trade deficit for
the fiscal year 2013/14 is $7.743 billion, exports are $10.367 billion in July–
November 2013 and imports are $18.110 billion.[1]
Pakistan's exports continue to be dominated by cotton textiles and apparel.
Imports include petroleum and petroleum products, edible oil, chemicals,
fertilizer, capital goods, industrial raw materials, and consumer products
