Forecasts for the Pakistani Economy in 2025

Abstract

This report forecasts key economic variables for Pakistan in 2025. It evaluates GDP growth, inflation, demographics, investment, and debt levels, among other factors, thereby offering insights into the nation's short- and long-term economic trajectory amidst global turbulence. The report proceeds while keeping Pakistan’s economic performance over the past decade in mind, noting that the twin disruptions of Covid-19 (2020-21) and Global Inflation (2022-24), have heightened economic volatility. Additionally, the austerity measures tied to Pakistan’s 2024 IMF agreement are examined critically. As such, the report provides a nuanced perspective on navigating economic recovery and resilience in an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.
