The Aga Khan University launched on Thursday a landmark study which found that AKU has an annual economic impact in Pakistan of Rs103 billion, or $ 1 billion, and supports 42,000 jobs, including 33,000 in Sindh.
The study also reports that the AKU’s spending has a multiplier effect, with every rupee of its direct gross value added generating Rs7.3 in economic benefits. “This report makes clear the remarkable extent of the Aga Khan University’s economic impact,” said Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. “It also tells the story of an institution whose dedication to world-class quality and innovation is matched by its determination to improve the lives of the poor in Sindh and across Pakistan.”
