TERRORISM AND ITS ECONOMIC IMPACTS ON PAKISTAN DURING PERVEZ MUSHARRAF ERA

Abstract

The article will explore the economic impacts of terrorism on Pakistan between 2001 and 2008. This period saw a significant increase in terrorist attacks in the country, particularly after Pakistan became an ally in the US-led war on terror. The article will examine the impact of these attacks on various sectors of the economy, including agriculture, industry, and services. It will also assess the role of foreign aid and investment in mitigating the economic damage caused by terrorism. The study will use secondary data sources, including reports from international organizations and academic research, to analyze the economic consequences of terrorism in Pakistan during this time period. The findings will contribute to the understanding of the long-term economic effects of terrorism in developing countries and may inform policy decisions aimed at countering terrorism and its economic impact.
