ISLAMABAD: Country Director World Bank, John Wall has said that Pakistan's economy has made fantastic performance over the years and if this pace of progress is sustained the country would become another Asian tiger.

"If Pakistan can maintain this over a period of 10-15 years, it would become another Asian tiger", the WB Director said on Monday.

He said Pakistan's economy is growing across the board at a high rate and the exports sector has marked the growth rate of above 20 percent per annum.

This is what made Korea and Japan the rich countries he said adding the future of Pakistan's economy is also bright.

To a question he said, it is true that earthquake reconstruction activities would help boot the economic activities in Pakistan adding but focusing too much on the economic activity from the earthquake itself is underestimating immensely the power of the growth of countries economy.

He said the credit goes to bold and liberal economic policies of the government which is the real force behind the excellent growth rate which the country has maintained over the years.●
