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.
