The United States and Pakistan have a strong economic and commercial relationship, conducting two-way trade of approximately $5.3 billion in 2013. The U.S. is Pakistan's largest trading partner and its leading source of foreign direct investment. For the U.S., Pakistan represents a modest market with suppliers exporting goods and services worth $1.65 billion to Pakistan in 2013. This figure represents a 7% increase over the 2012 figure of $1.53 billion. The U.S was Pakistan's largest export market in 2013, accounting for almost 15% of total exports. Valued at $3.68 billion, Pakistan's exports to the U.S. in 2013 were1.6% greater than the previous year. Overall, Pakistan's economic growth has been sluggish for the past four years, however it accelerated moderately in fiscal year 2012-13, growing by 4.1%. Severe energy shortfalls, domestic security issues, burgeoning public debt, and the slow pace of economic and tax reform implementation are major factors that continue to pose a challenge to the economy of Pakistan. On October 15, 2009, President Obama signed the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009 (commonly known as the Kerry-Lugar-Berman bill). This act authorizes the United States to provide Pakistan with economic assistance worth $7.5 billion over a five-year period. This assistance, together with other bilateral and multilateral commitments, continues to provide funding for a wide array of soft and hard infrastructure development of potential interest to U.S. firms. Pakistan entered into a three-year, $6.7 billion International Monetary Fund program in September 2013, which will provide an infusion of foreign exchange and framework for structural reforms. With a population of approximately 190 million and an overall GDP exceeding $245 billion, Pakistan is the fifth-largest market in the entire Middle East, Africa, and South Asia regions (after India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Egypt). Pakistan has a young population and a growing middle class, with English as the lingua franca of the business community, and a highly evolved services sector that contributes 58% of GDP. Pakistan has a number of attributes that make it an attractive market for multinational firms, particularly those in the fast moving consumer-goods sector. The World Bank's 2014 Doing Business Report, which surveys the ease of doing business in international markets, ranked Pakistan 110th among the 189 economies surveyed. By comparison, regional competitors Bangladesh and India ranked 130 and 134, respectively. American firms have a fairly strong presence in Pakistan. Currently, there are more than 65 wholly- or majority-owned U.S. subsidiary firms registered with the American Business Council (ABC) of Pakistan and the Lahore-based American Business Forum (ABF). The U.S.-Pakistan Business Council, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and based in Washington, is another forum for U.S. companies with business and investment interests in Pakistan. There are also hundreds of local firms representing U.S. companies in the market. Some leading U.S. companies doing business in Pakistan include Pepsi-Cola, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, NCR, Teradata, Pfizer, Abbott Laboratories, DuPont, Oracle, Microsoft, Dell, 3M, IBM, Monsanto, McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza, and Caterpillar. Pakistan and the United States signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement in 2003, which provides a forum for discussion of bilateral trade issues. The most recent annual TIFA council meeting was held in May 2014.

This book tells the story of the tragic and often tormented relationship between the United States and Pakistan. Pakistan's internal troubles have already threatened U.S. security and international peace, and Pakistan's rapidly growing population, nuclear arsenal, and relationships with China and India will continue to force it upon America's geostrategic map in new and important ways over the coming decades. This book explores the main trends in Pakistani society that will help determine its future; traces the wellsprings of Pakistani anti-American sentiment through the history of U.S.-Pakistan relations from 1947 to 2001; assesses how Washington made and implemented policies regarding Pakistan since the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001; and analyzes how regional dynamics, especially the rise of China, will likely shape U.S.-Pakistan relations. It concludes with three options for future U.S. strategy, described as defensive insulation, military-first cooperation, and comprehensive cooperation. The book explains how Washington can prepare for the worst, aim for the best, and avoid past mistakes.

This book historically maps and examines the evolving, contemporary geostrategic and geopolitical imperatives of the United States within Pakistan and the South Asian region, especially after September 11, 2001. It offers a detailed and theoretical account of the rapidly changing context of US foreign policy towards Pakistan after 2001. The history of the US-Pakistan relationship has been a complex and inscrutable mix of cooperation and conflict has turned even more challenging after 9/11. This book covers the latest developments and relevant themes from world politics as it discusses the impact of the unprecedented rise in religious extremism in Pakistan, stemming from the US War on Terror as well as Pakistan’s economic vulnerability and military dictatorship, India’s offer to support the US in its war in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s nuclear capability, and the US administration’s decision to end financial aid to Pakistan. The study highlights the fact that, from the receding of British influence in the region through the Cold War and post-Cold War phases to the post-9/11 period, US-South Asia policy has been informed by the theoretical paradigm of the grand strategy of primacy. This topical book will be useful to scholars and researchers of international relations, politics, political studies, strategic and defence studies, security and peace studies, foreign policy, area studies, and South Asian studies. It will also interest diplomats, politicians, policymakers, security experts, journalists, and think tanks interested in India, Pakistan, and the United States on issues of international politics, world affairs, and terrorism.

This book explores the post-9/11 relations between the US and Pakistan. The growing divergence between Washington and Islamabad has taken an already uneasy alliance to a point of estrangement. Yet, a complete breakup is not an option. The underlying cause of the tension, within the partnership the two had entered on 13 September 2001, has never been fully understood. What is rarely discussed is how Pakistan's decision to ally itself with the US pushed the country into a war with itself; the cost of Pakistan's tight roping between alignment with the US and old links with the Afghan Taliban; and its long-term implications for the region and global security. This book elucidates implications for Afghanistan in the so-called war on terror while revealing US and Pakistan's foreign policy initiatives. The author explores all this through little known facts and through the players involved in this cloak and dagger game. The book tells the story behind the headlines: how equivocal is ISI's break with the Afghan Taliban fighting the coalition forces in Afghanistan; the shootout in Lahore involving a CIA agent; and the killing of Osama bin Laden.

The Council on Foreign Relations sponsors Independent Task Forces to assess issues of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy and provide policymakers with concrete judgments and recommendations. Diverse in backgrounds and perspectives, Task Force members aim to reach a meaningful consensus on policy through private and non-partisan deliberations. Once launched, Task Forces are independent of CFR and solely responsible for the content of their reports. Task Force members are asked to join a consensus signifying that they endorse "the general policy thrust and judgments reached by the group, though not necessarily every finding and recommendation." Each Task Force member also has the option of putting forward an additional or a dissenting view. Members' affiliations are listed for identification purposes only and do not imply institutional endorsement. Task Force observers participate in discussions, but are not asked to join the consensus. --Book Jacket.

The killing of Osama bin Laden highlighted the tense relationship between the US and Pakistani governments. This book considers the evolving nature of this relationship and Pakistan's place within the global order. Whereas standard accounts focus on the US-Pakistan relationship in isolation, Pakistan: The US, Geopolitics and Grand Strategies provides a broader geopolitical perspective. It analyzes Pakistan's relations with the US after a decade of the war on terror as well as Pakistan's regional relations, which provides the reader with a complete understanding of Pakistan's interests. Contributions from experts in both Pakistan and the West mean that this book will be vital reading for anyone seeking to understand this troubled nation.
