Only 5 out of 15 largest trading partners of India are European countries including America. Indian economy is not that much associated with EU and America so it can not be harmed by a recession in EU. India is a market of more than 1.2 billion people.Its not a small market dear.

At some time, Americans will have to face the reality: that they can not retire as early as before and that the government can't always pamper them.

I think that Mitt Romney does have the potential to put the American economy back on track especially his plans for energy independence by 2020.
which Government would dare to cut the social benefits. This move has great political repercussions. defense expenditures are really increasing and won't decrease even if America leave Afghanistan. Afghan government would need constant financial aid from Americans. Mitt Romney is also a politician don't forget that.

Pakistan's trade share with EU and China is almost equal in size. It won't be a major market but an average market with bright opportunities in Natural Resource exploration, Heavy Industries, Railway, Air Transport etc. these sectors are less exploited and are glamorous enough for those foreign investors, who are pessimistic of a future in EU markets. Moreover the energy sector is a great potential profit extractor. Pakistan is a growing demands market that each investor dreams of.
