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.
