Abstract:

Despite a weak agricultural performance, GDP growth rose to an eight-year high of 4.7% in the 2015/16 fiscal year and a further pick-up is expected in the current year. In addition, the IMF programme has remained on track, with the final US$100m tranche of the US$6.7bn three-year EFF approved in August. The facility expires in September and is not expected to be renewed as both the government and the IMF agree that further support is not needed. The IMF noted that most performance criteria in Q4 2015/16 were met, and it expects GDP growth of 5% in 2016/17, in line with our forecast.There are challenges, including the more difficult external environment for exports and ongoing power shortages. But growth prospects will be helped in the next few years by rising investment, boosted by the US$46bn China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Power and road projects are under way, together with hydroelectric plans, despite some of the schemes proving contentious. As a result, GDP growth is still seen rising to about 5.5% a year in 2018 and 2019.
