Abstract:

The official forecast sees a pick-up in GDP growth to 5.7% in the 2016/17 fiscal year from the eight-year high of 4.7% in 2015/16. It cites better energy supplies (with large-scale manufacturing seen growing by about 6%), an improved security situation and a recovery in agriculture as the cotton harvest rebounds after last year's problems that saw the harvest fall sharply. We remain more cautious, but as a result of latest figures we have raised our forecast to 5.4% (from 5%).Given the subdued regional and global backdrop, the outlook remains challenging. But growth prospects will be boosted in the coming years by rising investment, driven by the US$46bn China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Various projects are already under way and should provide a substantial lift to investment, trade and business confidence. We still expect GDP growth of 5.5% a year in 2018-20, but the risks may be on the upside.
