1991 in Pakistan was characterized by political and economic readjustment. In 1990 Nawaz Sharif was elected prime minister after the incumbent Benazir Bhutto faced corruption charges, and in 1991 she sought to delegitimize his election. Although the end of United States foreign aid in October 1990 affected the economy, Pakistan’s GDP nonetheless rose 5.6% and exports and foreign investment grew over the 1990-1991 fiscal year. The government also planned to privatize the industrial and financial sectors.[1]
