The latest Economic Outlook report released by the Ministry of Finance says that Pakistan’s economy is gradually moving towards stability, with remittances, industrial production and tax revenue emerging as key factors.
According to the report, tax revenue increased by 10.2 percent from July to November and reached Rs 4,733 billion, while the growth rate of agriculture was 2.89 percent, industry 9.38 percent and the services sector 2.35 percent during the same period.
According to the Ministry of Finance, inflation was 6.1 percent in November 2025, while the same rate was 4.9 percent a year ago. However, due to government measures, the current account deficit remained under control and a surplus of $ 100 million was also recorded in November.
The report said that IT exports increased by 18.5 percent to $1.8 billion, while automobile production increased by 65 percent. In addition, the policy rate has come down to 10.5 percent after a 50 basis points reduction in the policy rate.
Regarding the stock market, the report said that in November, the KSE-100 index increased by 5,046 points and the market capitalization reached Rs 18,866 billion, which reflects the confidence of investors.
According to economists, although the overall indicators are positive, the decline in investment and exports is a cause for concern. They say that more attention will have to be paid to public-private partnerships, industrial reforms and export policies for sustainable development.
