Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
It is very famous for the poverty of Pakistan, IMF, America and China not only in India but also by taking a bowl in Pakistan and taking a bowl in hand. By the way, both the World Bank and IMF believe that the situation in Pakistan has improved in the last few years. Inflation has decreased and political stability has also been seen. After which billions of dollars have also been received from World Bank and IMF. On the other hand, Pakistan keeps getting loans from China. After that, the economy of Pakistan could not get the boost that it needs.
On the other hand, Pakistan also has a stock of natural resources. Which has not been exploited yet. If Pakistan starts exploiting it and starts using it in the international market, then its economy will run like a rocket. Pakistan has such a large coal reserves, whose value is several trillion dollars. If the price of that coal is added to both the US and the economy of China, it is more than that. If Pakistan sells that coal together according to the pricing of the international market, then it can also become the world’s number one economy. Let us also tell you how…
Coal reserves near Pakistan
There are large coal reserves in Pakistan, especially in Sindh province. It is estimated that there are about 185 billion tonnes of coal resources in the country. Coal mining in Pakistan is mainly in Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan provinces. According to the WorldOTER, Pakistan had 3,377 million tonnes (MMST) certified coal reserves as of 2016, which was ranked 20th in the world. Sindh province has the largest coal reserves of 175 billion tonnes.
According to the report, Pakistan has 331.1 times more coal reserves than its annual consumption level, which means that it has about 331 years of coal left. On average, 1000 coal mines operate in Pakistan, which have a business of 50 million rupees per day. Coal mining in Pakistan is mainly done on small scale, in which many mines are in private ownership. Coal in Pakistan is mainly used in power generation and cement industry.
600 billion barrels equal to crude oil
As we said that there is a stock of 750 billion tonnes of coal in Sindh province of Pakistan. The special thing is that this coal reserves are equal to 618 billion barrel crude oil. Let us tell you that at present, Venezuela has the biggest reserve of crude oil. Whose volume is 300 billion barrels. Pakistan has a coal store equal to double crude oil. If the coal reserves of the whole of Pakistan are added, then how many billion barrels of crude oil will be with Pakistan. This means that it is clear that even though Pakistan does not have money, there are rich reserves of natural resources. By using which it can become the super power of the world.
How much is the value of coal?
Now the biggest question is how much is the value of the coal reserve of Pakistan. As mentioned above, 175 billion tonnes of coal in Sindh province of Pakistan which is equivalent to 618 billion barrel crude oil. So at present, the price of 1 barrel crude oil is $ 70 per barrel. This means that the price of 618 billion barrel crude oil will be 43.26.26 Tillion dollars. This means that Pakistan’s trillion is such a treasure of dollars that there is no possibility of ending for 300 years. Pakistan can take its economy to the sky from coal only. The special thing is that Pakistan has more coal reserves than the total GDP of China and America.
How much is Pakistan’s GDP
The special thing is that the total GDP of Pakistan is very low. According to the World Bank estimate, 2024 Pakistan’s total GDP is worth $ 373 billion. The special thing is that at one time Pakistan’s total GDP was less than the total market cap of India Tata Group. According to the report, in the year 2025, the growth of Pakistani economy can be seen at a speed of 2.68 percent. While per capita income can be seen at $ 1824. However, Pakistan has cut its capex for the current financial year. But it has increased its defense budget by about 10 percent. Which has been criticized by many countries. That too at a time when Pakistan itself is alive on the trust of IMF and World Bank’s debt.
