Signs of economic stability are clear, debt reduced by Rs 1.3 trillion—Finance Ministry releases comprehensive economic report

In the new outlook report released by the Ministry of Finance, Pakistan’s economic performance has been described as moving towards stability. According to the report, not only are signs of improvement being seen in the country’s economy, but significant positive changes have also been seen in several key indicators.

The report states that the inflation rate remained at 5 to 6 percent during November 2025, however, pressure on food and agricultural products may affect prices in the future.

Regarding economic activities, the report says that the industrial sector is performing well. The growth rate of large industries was recorded at 4.1 percent in the first three months of the current fiscal year, while in September 2025, this rate was 2.7 percent on an annual basis and 2.1 percent on a monthly basis.

Remittances, exports and digital reforms

According to the Ministry of Finance, an increase in remittances and an improvement in IT exports have provided additional support to the economy. The report said that the pace of digitization and structural reforms is rapidly creating broad fiscal discipline.

Historic Debt Reduction

The most striking point of the Outlook report is the reduction in domestic debt by Rs 1,371 billion—the first such large reduction in a quarter in five years. The prepayment of expensive loans has been shown to reduce future financial risks.

According to economists, the results of the report show that the government’s fiscal policy is moving in the right direction.
