Pakistan had a disastrous year in 2011, with increasing attacks on civilians by militant groups, skyrocketing food and fuel prices, and the assumption of near-total control of foreign and security policy by a military that operated with complete impunity. Religious minorities faced unprecedented insecurity and persecution. Freedom of belief and expression came under severe threat as Islamist militant groups murdered Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer and Federal Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti over their public support for amending the countrys often abused blasphemy laws.In August and September the southern province of Sindh experienced massive flooding for the second year running, displacing some 700,000 people. Pakistans largest city, Karachi, suffered from hundreds of targeted killings perpetrated by armed groups who are patronized by political parties.The 2013 IndiaPakistan border incidents were a series of reported armed skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir area in mid-January 2013, described as the "worst bout of fighting in the region in nearly 10 years".Abbottabad is a military town that is home to three Pakistan Army regiments and thousands of military personnel and that is dotted with military buildings. The land mostly is owned by the Pakistan Army and retired army officers. Terrorism cost Pakistan more than $43 billion between 2001 and 2010 and 35,000 Pakistanis lives.Inflation has worsened the situation, climbing from 7.7% in 2007 to almost 12% for 2011, before declining to 10% in 2012.As a result of political and economic instability, the Pakistani rupee has depreciated more than 40% since 2007.Foreign investment has not returned, due to investor concerns related to governance, energy, security, and a slow-down in the global economy. Pakistan remains stuck in a low-income, low-growth trap, with growth averaging about 3% per year from 2008 to 2012.Other long term challenges include expanding investment in education and healthcare, and reducing dependence on foreign donors.GDP - real growth rate3.7% (2012 est.) 3% (2011 est.) 3.1% (2010 est.)GDP - per capita (PPP)$2,900 (2012 est.) $2,800 (2011 est.) $2,800 (2010 est.) note: data are in 2012 US dollarsLabor force60.36 million note: extensive export of labor, mostly to the Middle East, and use of child labor (2012 est.)Unemployment rate5.6% (2012 est.) 5.6% (2011 est.) note: substantial underemployment existsBudgetrevenues: $29.51 billion expenditures: $44.19 billion (2012 est.)Inflation rate (consumer prices)11.3% (2012 est.) 11.9% (2011 est.)
