Conclusion In conclusion we can say that Afghanistan has
had both negative and positive impact on the
Pakistani economy after the war. We have benefited from cheap labour and a
new market full of opportunities. On the other hand we have been harmed due to
the security situation in Afghanistan which hasspilled over into Pakistan causing terrorism andmilitancy to rise and effect the economicgrowth of Pakistan.
