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
