Pakistan's economy is stabilizing, but challenges remain. We're taking a closer look at what the headlines don't tell you.While GDP growth reached 3.1% in FY2025, our recovery is modest and uneven. We face limits, and growth isn't surging.Debt repayments are a major hurdle, limiting our ability to invest in public services and provide relief. More goes to repayment, less for progress.Energy costs are hitting both households and industries hard. Volatile fuel prices and supply disruptions are weakening production and squeezing daily budgets.Job creation isn't keeping pace with demand. Weak investment and uneven industrial growth mean opportunities remain narrow for many.Climate shocks continue to impact our economy, with floods damaging agriculture, infrastructure, and public finances. We're seeing the bill rise.Despite progress, our economic picture is fragile. Reserves hit a three-year high of $14.5 billion, but agricultural growth is a mere 1.5%.The real challenge ahead is to transform stability into opportunity. We're focused on lower energy costs, stronger exports, and more productive jobs.
