pakistan - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Decades of
internal political disputes and low levels of foreign investment have led to slow
growth and underdevelopment in Pakistan. Agriculture accounts for more than
one-fifth of output and two-fifths of employment. Textiles account for most of
Pakistan's export earnings, and Pakistan's failure to expand a viable export
base for other manufactures has left the country vulnerable to shifts in world
demand. Official unemployment is 6%, but this fails to capture the true
picture, because much of the economy is informal and underemployment remains
high. Over the past few years, low growth and high inflation, led by a spurt in
food prices, have increased the amount of poverty - the UN Human Development
Report estimated poverty in 2011 at almost 50% of the population. Inflation has
worsened the situation, climbing from 7.7% in 2007 to more than 13% for 2011,
before declining to 9.3% at year-end. As a result of political and economic
instability, the Pakistani rupee has depreciated more than 40% since 2007. The
government agreed to an International Monetary Fund Standby Arrangement in
November 2008 in response to a balance of payments crisis. Although the economy
has stabilized since the crisis, it has failed to recover. Foreign investment
has not returned, due to investor concerns related to governance, energy,
security, and a slow-down in the global economy. Remittances from overseas
workers, averaging about $1 billion a month since March 2011, remain a bright
spot for Pakistan. However, after a small current account surplus in fiscal
year 2011 (July 2010/June 2011), Pakistan's current account turned to deficit
in the second half of 2011, spurred by higher prices for imported oil and lower
prices for exported cotton. Pakistan remains stuck in a low-income, low-growth
trap, with growth averaging 2.9% per year from 2008 to 2011. Pakistan must
address long standing issues related to government revenues and energy
production in order to spur the amount of economic growth that will be
necessary to employ its growing population. Other long term challenges include
expanding investment in education and healthcare, and reducing dependence on
foreign donors.
