Naah I guess will be 20000 usd per capita nominal by 2050.....Pakistani per capita income growth is nearly half of India (6.36% on 3.02%). Over that, their fertility rates and population growth is much higher than us. So, annual population outlook till 2050 for Pakistan is going to be 1.1% against world average 0.6% and India's 0.7%.
Pakistani HDI is 0.538 (low) just 0.001 from 0.537 against India's 0.609 (0.023; from 0.586) and world average 0.712 (0.009; from 0.702). It lags in hunger index, education index, literacy etc., with mild improvements.
Now, let's turn our time machine back in history.
Pakistan had better HDI in 1991, higher GDP (PPP) per capita, Education Index in 2000-2001, higher GDP (nominal) per capita around 2006-07, better hunger index in 2012 but was overtaken in every index one by one.
Even this year, Pakistani GDP per capita was up to $5084 ($1520 nominal) from last year's $49450 ($1470 nominal) against India's $6599 ($1820 nominal) from last year's $6162 ($1688). Simply, for near 2020, Pak must be around $6000-7000 against India's $10,000 ($2500 vs $1800 in nominal).
India's rate is standard but Pakistan is a developing country with per capita income growth close to developed countries!
Now, for case of India, considering our growth sustained for just 10 years (neither lesser nor higher) and declining by 0.5% decade on decade, India's GDP per capita is projected to be between $50-65000 ($20-30,000 in nominal) and it's simply income middle income economy for MER around 2070 because developed countries will have per capita incomes in order between $150,000 to $200,000). Pakistan already lags badly both in growth and quantity.
[Sorry for such rough ranges, actually I took account all the three; low, medium and high fertility rates in account].
I guess you have not factored inflation
One more thing we would have reached world average in gdp nominal per capita by 2040-2050 which will be around 20000-25000 then
