The ratio of CA's to total population is the lowest in Pakistan.
Its even lower than India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
What could be the reason for this? Are Pakistanis not that qualified?
Or is it just the policy of ICAP..to restrict the numbers to such an extent. So that its members can get 'respect and huge salaries'.

True...... but also compare the salary drawn by a Pakistani CA to what earned by Indian/Bangladeshi or SriLankan CA.
People go for CA profession primarily because of money. If it becomes like doctor or engineers, no one will be interested to get in. See the number of entrants registering for CA since the mid 90s (the time when MBA, Medicine and Engg become saturated fields). In the end its all about money. As Jerry Maguire put it excellently "Show me the Money"
On a personal note, I think that ICAP has passed more than enough CA in past few attempts. Due to this surplus, salary of a freshly qualified has already decreased to 20-25k from around 35k. They should put a tight lid now (do some people on the forum like to kill me?<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>)

CA bachelors are the most sought after bachelors in our society and can immediately get a rishtas without any hiccups.
