Pakistan's Economic Recovery Shows Gains Amid Persistent Inflation and Risks
Pakistan's economy shows signs of recovery with a rising stock market, record foreign reserves, and improved credit ratings. However, challenges persist, including high inflation driven by energy costs and regional conflicts, notably the war with Iran and militancy in border provinces. The central bank raised interest rates to 12% to curb inflation, risking further economic slowdown. Officials highlight foreign reserves of $21.5 billion, expected to reach $25 billion, supported by IMF agreements and global market fundraising, yet underlying economic weaknesses remain.
