Economy and Games of kpk

Economy of kpk:-

The economy of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province of Pakistan, is the 3rd largest in the country. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's share of Pakistan's total GDP has historically comprised 10.5%, although the province accounts for 11.9% of Pakistan's total population, rendering it the second-poorest province after neighboring Balochistan. 

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province of lush mountains and greenery-filled valleys, is the third-largest province in the country with an average contribution of 10% to the economy of Pakistan. In fact, the economy of the province reaps a hefty revenue from three major sectors, i.e. agriculture, industry, and services.



Among the major sectors in which KPK makes a contribution, the agriculture sector is the most prominent. The agriculture sector accounts for around 22% of the provincial GDP as well as employs around 44% of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s labor force. For a country that is predominantly agrarian in nature, the significance of agricultural production cannot be overstated. Since 88% of the population of KPK is rural, the province can invest an even bigger share in this sector.




Another significant avenue through which Khyber Pakhtunkhwa plays its role as a viable provincial economy of the state is through the sector of tourism.
