IMF Foresees Stronger Economic Growth for Pakistan

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Pakistan's Flag

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook for October, anticipates Pakistan’s economy to show a more robust performance in the current and subsequent fiscal years, surpassing many multilateral agencies’ expectations. The IMF predicts a 2.5% growth in the present fiscal year, escalating to 5% the following year, a commendable increase from the 0.5% contraction observed the previous year. This suggests the IMF envisions a speedier economic rebound than initially projected, forecasting a 5% GDP growth rate by the 2026-27 fiscal year. These projections surpass recent estimates from institutions like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Revised Estimates on Inflation and Unemployment

Despite the positive growth forecasts, the IMF adjusted its predictions upwards concerning inflation and unemployment rates for the present and following fiscal years. The current year’s inflation estimate was adjusted from 22% to an average of 23.5%, although year-end inflation might dip to 17.5%. Unemployment rates are also expected to rise, with the current year projection at 8%. These revisions contrast the World Bank’s and ADB’s estimations, which had different figures for growth and inflation.

Global Economic Forecast

Globally, the IMF maintained its 2023 forecast but expressed concerns over high inflation rates and adjusted outlooks for countries like China and Germany. Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s chief economist, emphasized the global economy’s resilience, recovering from the pandemic and geopolitical events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, the IMF adjusted its growth outlook for regions like the Middle East, partly due to the Gaza conflict, and predicted a recession for Germany, Europe’s largest economy.
