The IMF projects further improvement, with growth likely hitting 4.1% by 2026-27 and averaging 4.5% between 2027 and 2030. On inflation, the report estimates this year’s rate at 5.1%, potentially increasing to 7.7% next year. Over the long term, inflation is predicted to average 6.5% from 2026-2030.
Economic experts say the report suggests Pakistan’s economy is stabilizing but stress the need for continued careful financial management to maintain this positive trend.
