Pakistan's Economic Overview

 Economical Overview: Pakistan is facing significant economic difficulties that are a result of enduring structural weaknesses. Between 2001 and 2018, Pakistan made significant strides in reducing poverty as more than 47 million people were able to escape poverty thanks to the growth of off-farm employment opportunities and a rise in remittance inflow. However, despite the rapid decrease in poverty, socioeconomic conditions have not significantly improved, as evidenced by the poor and stagnant state of human capital outcomes, which include high rates of stunting (38%) and learning poverty (75%). In addition, strong economic growth frequently results in economic imbalances and frequent macroeconomic crises because it reflects a consumption-driven growth model with limited exports and investment that boost productivity. Real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has therefore grown slowly over time, averaging only about 2.2 percent annually between 2000 and 22. Due to its low forei...
