Pakistan's shocking economic census: 'More mosques here, than factories'
Pakistan’s first-ever economic census has revealed shocking statistics: the country has over 600,000 mosques and 36,000 madrassas, but only 23,000 operational factories. Released by Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, the data has triggered heated debate as Pakistan struggles to revive its economy and finalize a $7 billion IMF bailout review. Critics argue that the imbalance in social infrastructure vs. industrial development reflects deeper structural issues in national planning and priorities.
