Abstract(s)

This paper aims to analyze the impact of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on the volatility of the Pakistan Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchanges, namely, to explore the pre and post-impact China investments in Pakistan in the energy sector on the stock exchanges of the respective countries. The methods used include an econo- metric analysis, and univariate statistical analysis, from February 2010 to January 2020. The results present a significant difference in volatilities of the pre and post-returns of both indices. Stock prices increased post-CPEC announcement in Pakistan, and there was a growth in the stock market. However, the mean return post-CPEC announcement is relatively lower than Pre-announcement tenure, combined with higher volatility. It shows small investors’ underconfidence. The conclusion is the significant economic advantages of CPEC to PK.
