Key Takeaways
– Pakistan’s economy is showing signs of a dramatic stabilisation, with the World Bank recording GDP growth of 3.7% and inflation collapsing to just 3.5% in 2025 — a remarkable turnaround from the double-digit price surges of recent years.
– The country’s unemployment rate stands at a relatively modest 5.42%, though this headline figure likely masks significant underemployment and informal sector challenges.
– With a GNI per capita of just $1,500 and a population exceeding 255 million, Pakistan remains a lower-middle-income economy where the benefits of macroeconomic stabilisation must still translate into tangible improvements in living standards.
– The corporate landscape is dominated by conglomerates and consumer-focused industries, from Adamjee Group’s sprawling interests to a rapidly expanding aviation sector that includes Airblue, AirSial and Air Indus.
– Pakistan’s political system remains a parliamentary federal republic where the military’s influence in mainstream politics has been significant throughout the country’s history, creating an ever-present undercurrent of institutional tension.
