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-fourth of output and two-fifths of employment. Textiles account for most of Pakistan's export earnings, and Pakistan's failure to diversify its exportshas left the country vulnerable to shifts in world demand. Official unemployment was 6.9% in 2014, but this fails to capture the true picture, because much of the economy is informal and underemployment remains high. Pakistan’s human development continues to lag behind most of the region.. As a result of political and macroeconomic instability, the Pakistani rupee has depreciated more than 40% since 2007. The government agreed to an International Monetary Fund Standby Arrangement in November 2008 to preventa balance of payments crisis, but the IMF ended the Arrangement early because of Pakistan’s failure to implement required reforms. The economy has stabilized, it continues to underperform and foreign investment has not returned to levels seen during themid-2000’s, due to investor concerns related to governance, electricity shortages, , and a slow-down in the global economy. Remittances from overseas workers, averaging more than$1 billion a month, remain a bright spot for Pakistan. After a small current account surplus in fiscal year 2011 (July 2010/June 2011), Pakistan's current account turned to a deficit where it remained through 2014, spurred by higher prices for imported oil and lower prices for exported cotton. In September 2013, after facing balance of payments concerns, Pakistan entered into a three-year, $6.7 billion IMF Extended Fund Facility. The Sharif government has since made modest progress implementing fiscal and energy reforms, and in December 2014 the IMF described Pakistan’s progress as “broadly on track.” Pakistan remains stuck in a low-income, low-growth trap, with growth averaging about 3.5% per year from 2008 to 2014. Pakistan must address long standing issues related to government revenues and the electricity and natural gas sectorsin 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.

It is difficult to describe precisely the production capacity in textile spinning industry since it fluctuates widely depending on various factors, such as count of yarn spun, spindles speed, twist per inch and raw materials used. It also varies according to the pattern of production adopted in a particular year.

Future Outlook

 

The present quarter has seen a steadying of markets. However the expectation of large cotton crops globally may dampen any upside that one can expect. Global competition remains stiff. Indian yarn spinners continue to be very competitive in the medium to finer counts. The long-term secular decline of China’s textile production capacity may also be taken as given. What remains uncertain is the extent to which Pakistan will be a beneficiary of this shift. Time will tell. As other countries progress, and per capita incomes grow, Pakistan’s poor economic growth will mean that labour will continue to be cheap, and hence textile production viable. Sad, but likely to be true. Company’s strategy is two pronged. Firstly a focus on improving operational efficiency. This means investment in automated and energy efficient plant and equipment. This also means extracting as much production from our existing infrastructure as possible. Secondly is an effort to reduce exposure to commodity market segments, where by definition we have little or no pricing power. We do this by entering niche markets – melange, special yarns etc. Our foray into fibre dyeing was part of the same process. We work with our partners on new product development. We also seek out new geographical markets. No report to our shareholders would be complete without the mandatory reference to the uncertain political situation, the energy crisis, and the struggles of doing business in the Khyber Pakthunkhwa province. These seem to be perennial challenges.
