Pakistan's economy expanded almost 5.3 percent in the last year, the country's finance minister said May 25, as gross domestic product crossed $300 billion for the first time. The growth rate, the highest in a decade, comes amid a construction boom linked to a $50-billion Chinese investment plan to upgrade transport and power infrastructure, and as the country's overall security situation has improved.
