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

·The Hindu·Impact 3/5 · Notable

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.
