Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb unveiled the Economic Survey for the fiscal year 2024–25, a key pre-budget document that outlines the government’s assessment of the national economy.
Addressing a presser, the finance minister said that the policy rate had been reduced significantly from 22% to 11%, a strong indicator of stabilizing economic conditions.
“We are moving towards stability,” the minister remarked, adding that he appreciates the constructive steps taken by the caretaker setup.
Discussing macroeconomic performance, the finance minister stated that Pakistan’s GDP growth in the current fiscal year reached 2.7%, a significant rebound from 2023, when the country experienced negative growth.
“In 2024, our GDP growth was recorded at 2.5%, while the global GDP growth for 2025 is estimated at 2.8%,” he added.
Inflation has also seen a remarkable decline. “In 2023, inflation had surged beyond 29%. Today, we have brought it down to just 4.6%,” he shared, crediting economic management reforms for the turnaround.
The Economic Survey serves as a vital document ahead of the annual federal budget, offering detailed insights into the country’s socio-economic performance over the outgoing fiscal year.
