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 exports has 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 the mid-2000s, 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 sectors 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.

Future Outlook

 

In today’s highly competitive global environment, the textile sector needs to upgrade its supply chain, improve productivity and maximize value-addition which will require supportive textile policy from the Government to be able to compete. We hope that the energy situation will improve in the country and policy implementation will also be ensured by the Government. To promote sustainable economic growth, structural reforms are needed to avert risks to the economic outlook in the long-term. Lower tax to GDP ratio, documenting the economy, reducing unemployment, resolving energy crisis and loss making public sector entities are the major challenges. Steep decline in oil prices, improved credit rating from international rating agencies and fall in inflation and discount rates have developed positive business sentiments. The Government should capitalize on the opportunity and drive towards comprehensive economic growth. One of the major drivers is the LSM sector. A well thought out long-term policy and the commitment to implement it are needed to remove structural bottlenecks of the sectors.
