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
under 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 almost 12% for 2011, before declining to 10% in
2012. 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 fiscal year 2012, 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 about 3%
per year from 2008 to 2012. 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 and rapidly
urbanizing population, more than half of which is under 22. Other long term
challenges include expanding investment in education and healthcare, adapting
to the effects of climate change and natural disasters, and reducing dependence
on foreign donors
