Abstract

Arguably, productivity is one of the key building blocks for global competitiveness. Evidence suggests that total factor productivity growth is positively correlated with GDP growth. As Pakistan continues to search for high and sustainable export-led growth, it is crucial to keep sight of the most critical denominator of the objective: productivity – its significance in the recipe for growth remains unmatched.
