Trade openness is a vivid indicator of emerging economies & one of the most important
determinants of growth. Therefore, quite a number of researchers have endeavored to analyze
the significance & impact of trade openness on economic growth for various economies.
Generally, the theoretical framework supports the constructive & positive impact of economic
openness of a country for its overall economic development; however, there are mixed
outcomes of empirical findings, especially for developing countries that experience
fluctuations in their economic growth rate. This research work has employed trade to GDP
ratio as a proxy variable for trade openness to examine its effect on the growth of Pakistan.
The finding of this study does not reveal any considerable effect of trade liberalization during
1972-2016 on the growth of the Pakistan economy. The study concludes its premise based on
empirical results that those economies that have a comparative advantage in trade with
significant competitiveness usually benefit from liberalization, export promoting, and
diversifying policies. The trading partners of Pakistan were and are mostly Western countries
that have the comparative advantage of trade over Pakistan. Therefore, the government of
Pakistan needs to promote & diversify its exports to those countries in which Pakistan has a
comparative advantage in the international market.
