Exporting the JF-17 Thunder: A way-out for Pakistan

Abstract

    Pakistan is facing a current account deficit. Boosting exports will help reduce the deficit and fetch the much needed foreign exchange. Exports of defense products can provide Pakistan economy with a major boost. The paper presents a discussion on the various benefits Pakistan can have if the defense products such as the JF-17 thunder, which is a multi-role jet fighter produced by PAC Kamra and CAC China, is sold. The research approach as adopted in this paper is qualitative. The possible markets for the Pakistani JF-17 have been identified. The paper recommends that the political leadership should effectively utilize its diplomatic channels in order to secure sales for Pakistan's JF-17's thunder. The successful sale of the aircraft would not only boost our economy but will also make Pakistan rise in the comity of nations.
