The Lahore School’s Eighth Annual Conference on Management of the Pakistan Economy took place on 16 – 17 May, 2012 at the school’s Main Campus. The topic of this year’s conference was: “Towards Accelerated Economic Growth in Pakistan: Its Need and Feasibility”. It was attended by the country’s leading economists, Pakistani and foreign academics, and renowned researchers from India, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, and United States. Some 25 research papers and oral presentations were made during the two days of the conference. The richness of the discussions during the two days of the conference cannot be adequately captured in a short report but, as a record of the salient issues raised, it could be useful for the participants as well as others interested in the subject. Since discussions in different sessions tended to overlap, what is offered here is a composite summing-up rather than a chronological account of the actual proceedings.
