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.
