Pakistan cuts GDP growth estimate to 3.65 per cent in fiscal year 2026

Pakistan's National Accounts Committee has reduced its estimated GDP growth for fiscal year 2026 to 3.65 per cent. This downward revision is largely due to a slowdown in the country's industry and services sectors. The lower growth rate is significant because it means Pakistan's per capita income will be the lowest in the region, indicating a challenging economic environment. This could have implications for the country's ability to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic growth.
