Key Takeaways
– Pakistan’s GDP growth has slowed to 3.7% in 2025, a modest rebound that masks deep structural vulnerabilities in the economy.
– Inflation has fallen dramatically to 3.5%, offering rare relief to households after years of painful price spikes.
– Unemployment remains stubbornly low at 5.42%, but this figure hides widespread underemployment and a massive informal economy.
– With a GNI per capita of just $1,500, Pakistan remains a lower-middle-income country struggling to translate macroeconomic stability into tangible improvements in living standards.
– The military’s enduring influence over politics continues to shape economic policy, creating uncertainty for long-term investors and reformers alike.
