In fact, governments in Pakistan, according to the CPIA, have performed more poorly in the realm of fiscal policy and promotion of gender equality. The Index of Economic Freedom gives the percentile of a country in different areas, as shown in Table 9.2. The higher the percentile, the better the performance. In this index, Pakistan performs poorly in protecting property, ensuring integrity in transactions and judicial effectiveness in terms of quick and fair judgments. 80
