PAKISTAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Decades of internal political disputes and low levels of foreign investment
have led to underdevelopment in Pakistan. Pakistan has a large English-speaking
population. A challenging security environment, electricity shortages, and a
burdensome investment climate have deterred investors. Agriculture accounts for
one-fifth of output and two-fifths of employment. Textiles and apparel account
for more than half of Pakistan's export earnings; Pakistan's failure to
diversify its exports has left the country vulnerable to shifts in world
demand. Pakistan’s GDP growth has gradually increased since 2012. Official
unemployment was 6% in 2017, but this fails to capture the true picture,
because much of the economy is informal and underemployment remains high. Human
development continues to lag behind most of the region.
In 2013, Pakistan embarked on a $6.3 billion IMF Extended Fund Facility,
which focused on reducing energy shortages, stabilizing public finances,
increasing revenue collection, and improving its balance of payments position.
The program concluded in September 2016. Although Pakistan missed several
structural reform criteria, it restored macroeconomic stability, improved its
credit rating, and boosted growth. The Pakistani rupee, after heavy
depreciation in 2013, remained relatively stable against the US dollar in 2015-17.
Balance of payments concerns have reemerged, however, as a result of increased
imports and declining remittances.
Pakistan must continue to address several longstanding issues, including
expanding investment in education and healthcare, adapting to the effects of
climate change and natural disasters, improving the country’s business
environment, reducing dependence on foreign donors, and widening the country’s
tax base. Given demographic challenges, Pakistan’s leadership will be pressed
to implement economic reforms, promote further development of the energy
sector, and attract foreign investment to support sufficient economic growth
necessary to employ its growing and rapidly urbanizing population, much of
which is under the age of 25.
In an effort to boost development, Pakistan and China are implementing
the “China-Pakistan Economic Corridor,” with $60 billion in investments
targeted towards energy and other infrastructure projects. Pakistan believes
CPEC investments will enable growth rates of over 6% of GDP by laying the
groundwork for increased exports. CPEC-related obligations, however, have
raised IMF concern that capital outflows that will begin to increase in 2020.
