Pakistan finds itself in one of the worst economic crises of its history. The macro situation is bleak – with high unemployment and inflation, falling investment, excessive fiscal deficit, and an economy trapped with a deteriorating external balance position and a collapsing currency. The micro-situation – with rising demand for quality education, a young and energetic workforce, and a growing middle class – may offer some potential, but can it be realized?

OPEN New York has invited two of the most sought-after leading economists, Asim I Khwaja and Atif R Mian – who have spent decades working on and engaging in Pakistan – to have an open discussion on where our country stands, a diagnosis of how we got here, and most importantly, how we can move forward.

OPEN New York invites you and your guests to our annual family picnic in Central Park, New York. Please join us with your family and friends for a day filled with fun, food, and networking. Kids are welcome. By invitation only.

OPEN New York and the Consulate General of Pakistan invite you to join us and hear the story of one of the most iconic Pakistani brands, Shahi Supari. Mr. Ghayasuddin will share how he built Shahi, one of the largest FMCG companies in Pakistan with more than 25 products, sold in over 50 countries.
