Abstract: One of the main objectives of Pakistan's export policy has been the promotion of exports of manufactured goods. This is an objective which many underdeveloped, predominately primary-exporting countries have in common because of their interest in export diversification. The general arguments us.ed to justify such a policy, e.g., improvement in the terms of trade and increased stability of export proceeds-will not, however, be discussed in this paperI. Attention will instead be focussed on the economic consequences of the specific measures adopted by Pakistan, namely, a combination of export duties and subsidies which discriminate in favour of processed goods and against raw materials.
