Karachi: Pakistan’s economy is on a trajectory toward significant growth, with projections indicating a doubling of the growth rate by fiscal year 2025. This forecast reflects the impact of fiscal consolidation and tight monetary policies implemented under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program, which have stabilized the country’s economic landscape.
The economic survey for FY25, released by AKD Securities Limited, highlights an improvement in Pakistan’s growth rate, which is expected to reach 2.68%. This development suggests that the country’s real GDP is on track to achieve its full potential by FY26. The ongoing economic reforms aim to facilitate medium-term growth, projected to reach 5.7%.
A notable aspect of the survey is the improvement in Pakistan’s external account, which recorded a surplus of $1.9 billion over the first ten months of FY25. This surplus is attributed to a substantial increase in remittances, bolstering the country’s economic stability.
Investment advice from AKD Securities emphasizes focusing on sectors that are poised to benefit from monetary easing and structural reforms. These factors, coupled with the government’s reform initiatives, are expected to drive the economy toward sustained growth.
The survey’s findings underscore the importance of continued fiscal discipline and reform-oriented policies to maintain the positive trajectory of Pakistan’s economic performance in the coming years.
