Growth and Poverty Levels in PakistanStudent’s NameInstitutional AffiliationAbstractThis paper seeks to analyze and evaluate the concept of growth and poverty levels as a consequence of trade and international capital inflows in Pakistan. The study is based on multiple data collected from relevant internet sources. Ideally, International evidence strongly suggests that open trade and investment policies are not significant in reducing poverty levels in developing countries and highly populated nations. Hence, developing countries must ensure the competitiveness of their products in the global economy, this requires quality investments in policies in which firms can prosper and expand. Essentially, trade and capital inflows in developing countries like Pakistan play a critical role in economic growth and development. Capital inflows can either be direct or indirect; their presence can either be tangible or intangible; capital or monetary forms; as well as physical or non-physical capital inflows. Predominantly, Pakistan is a labor intensive country as opposed to capital-intensive scenarios found in most developed countries. Thus, trade and foreign capital flows plays a fundamental role in the growth and determination of poverty levels in Pakistan.Growth and Poverty Levels in PakistanIntroductionTrade and foreign capital inflows play a significant role
