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 was 6.6% in 2013, 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. 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 following two years, 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 3.5% per year from 2008 to 2013.
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
