Abstract: For years now, we have built up Hitchcockian suspense over the trade, we worship trade and have spent a fantastical amount of time and efforts to increase it. But over thirty years, it might not change even the percentage to GDP. Constantly, our eye-rolls have left us with a perpetual squint. Small countries like Costa Rica have a free trade agreement with over 50 countries and 80 to 90 percent of the consumption material comes from trade but in the case of Pakistan, trade has trapped into papers that are only “fake leaves”.
