Goals
9
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
SDG Goal 9, "Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure," aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation. It focuses on developing reliable and sustainable infrastructure to support economic development and well-being. By enhancing research and upgrading technological capabilities, Goal 9 drives sustainable industrialization, creates jobs, and fosters innovation. It also seeks to reduce the digital divide, promote equitable access to information and communication technology, and support small-scale enterprises. These efforts aim to build a foundation for sustained growth, improve living standards, and reduce global inequalities.
Statistics of Pakistan
Infrastructure Development
Pakistan is actively investing in infrastructure to support economic development. Major projects include highways, railways, ports, aviation, and special economic zones, particularly under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). These investments aim to enhance market access and foster inclusive economic development
Economic Impact of Natural Disasters
The 2022 floods caused significant damage to Pakistan's infrastructure, with estimated damages of $14.9 billion and GDP losses of $15.2 billion. The transport and communications sectors have the highest reconstruction needs at $5 billion
Digital and Technological Advancements
Pakistan is focusing on reducing the digital divide and promoting equitable access to information and communication technology. The government's 5Es framework emphasizes building export-led infrastructure, digitization, and sustainable energy solutions
Industrial Performance
The manufacturing sector in Pakistan has been impacted by various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic. However, higher-technology industries have shown better recovery rates, highlighting the importance of technological innovation in achieving sustainable industrial growth
Financial Challenges
Achieving SDGs, including Goal 9, requires substantial financial resources. Pakistan needs an estimated $234.5 billion by 2030 to meet key SDGs. This includes significant investments in education, health, and infrastructure
Employment and Economic Growth
Sustainable industrialization in Pakistan is crucial for job creation and economic stability. However, fiscal imbalances, negative trade terms, and external sector pressures pose challenges to economic growth
