‘Fantastic story on inflation’: Economic Survey shows ambitious GDP growth for FY25

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb unveiled on Monday the Pakistan Economic Survey 2024-25, exuding confidence that the country’s economy would be able to post GDP growth of 2.7 per cent in the outgoing fiscal year.

The National Accounts Committee showed Pakistan’s GDP growth at 1.37pc for the first quarter of FY25, 1.53pc for the second, and 2.4 for the third. This implies that the economy would need to post a growth rate of 5.5pc in the three months of April-June to get to the 2.7pc figure announced by the finance minister.
