    World Bank projects two more dark years for Pakistan’s economic growth

    Canada Global (Web News) The World Bank downgraded Pakistan’s current-year GDP growth by 1.6% to 0.4%, citing the disastrous consequences of the August 2022 floods, policy uncertainty, and dwindling foreign exchange supplies as factors that have slowed down economic activity.

    Furthermore, it painted a gloomy picture of Pakistan’s medium-term prospects by stating that the country’s economic recovery was predicted to be anaemic, at just 2 percent in 2023–2024 and 3 percent in 2024–25. The small budgetary space the government has to facilitate the recovery from flood-related losses is cited as the cause of this tendency.

    The most recent forecast was released shortly after the National Economic Council (NEC) on Tuesday announced a 3.5 percent growth objective for the next fiscal year.
