Real estate in Pakistan

Real estate in Pakistan is a growing sector of the economy of Pakistan. Moreover, many more billions are spent on buying residential and commercial plots. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, construction output accounts for 2% of GDP, with housing representing less than half that total. With the rate of urbanization that Pakistan has been experiencing, there is a growing need for urban planning.

According to FPCCI (The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry), real estate agents are playing an important role in the economic development of the country. “Construction sector has grown by 9% which indicates its strength but this robust sector needs help of the real-estate sector,” it said in a 2017 statement.[1]

Demand for residential properties in Pakistan grew in 2010, leading to increased interest among real estate developers and investors. Since prices have exceeded 10 million PKR, new housing developments are often aimed at the upper middle class. To assist the real-estate sector, the Government of Pakistan announced a reduction in interest rates on mortgage loans in 2012.[2][3]

Prime Minister Imran Khan has recommended the formation of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, while Association of Builders and Developers is against its formation.[4]

gollark: This seems really implausible? The only operation I can see a GPU doing for photos is scaling, for which the algorithms are pretty standard. Text rendering is trickier, though. Fingerprinting based on quirks in that with browser canvases exists, but I doubt this works on a low-resolution paper and it'll not tell you the GPU directly.
gollark: Do things, but not Visual Basic things.
