Pakistan Revises Fiscal Year 2026 GDP Growth Estimate to 3.65 Percent
Pakistan's government revised its GDP growth estimate for fiscal year 2026 down to 3.65%, citing a mild slowdown in the industrial and services sectors. This adjustment reflects a slower recovery compared to earlier projections of 3.7% to 4%. The National Accounts Committee approved updated growth rates and data revisions, aligning broadly with forecasts from the IMF, World Bank, and Asian Development Bank. Despite modest growth and increased per capita income, the economy's pace remains sluggish amid ongoing challenges.
