POPULATION(Mn)
Comment:
With a population growth rate of 1.95%(2009est.) Pakistan is facing a formidable
challenge of tackeling the issue of economic development and poverty reduction.in the
wake of growing population, need for food security and provisions of employment
opportunities and shelter are becoming a burden on the economy.
With a current rate of population growth the pakistans population is likely to be doubled
in 39 years. The high growth rate, therefore is matter of great concern.
Without population stabilization, addressing the critical issues such as the environment,
energy, food/water supplies, migration and security is extremely difficult.

Comment:
It would not be possible to sustain the urban infrastructure with its growing needs if the
Population continues to grow at the present pace.People crowd the cities which alreadycannot hold more people.
Increase in urban and rural population ensure that the living conditions in urban areas will
get worse with no proper access to drinking water and sanitation.

Comment:
In year 2009 it grew by a meager percentage because of slower economic growth and
depreciation of pak rupees.
The last few years have been in full contrast, with per capita income at a much stronger
pace.
The per capita income in dollar terms has increased from 921$ (in 2007) to 1046$(in
2009). The main factors responsible for rise include acceleration in real GDP growth and
fourfold increase in workers remittances.

Comment:
In Pakistan health services are provided through (I) the health care delivery systems and(II) public health intervention. The former include basic health units (BHUs) and ruralhealth centres (RHCs) forming the core of primary health care while public health
intervention includes a number of public health programs which are federally led withprovincial implementation and institutional mechanism.
The country's focus on producing more Doctors has led to marked improvement in theDoctor-to- population ratio. The population to facilities ratio in respect of a doctor andbeds has improved in comparison to previous years.
Notwithstanding improvement in doctors/beds to population ratio, it must be recognizedthat Pakistan's key health indicators still lag behind in relation to international targetsarticulated within the millennium declaration which makes a case for reform measurewithin the health sector. Public health intervention includes a number of public healthprograms. These include the National Program for prevention and control of T.B,Malaria, HIV/ AIDs and child health care program etc. To bring a visible change in
health status of the country, the government of Pakistan has intensified its efforts. Thefollowing core programmes are being implemented with a much sharper focus on thepoor and underprivileged segments of the society.

Comment:
Being an important component of social sector, govt. is adopting most feasible strategies
for the growth of educational sector including dependence on the available financialresources, paradigm of structural development and essential element of policyframework.
Public expenditure on education as percentage to GDP is lowest in Pakistan due tofinancial resources constraint that paved the way to synchronization in terms of GDPallocation.
In comparison to year 2007 investment on education has declined to 2.10% which is onthe lowest side in accordance to its requirement given the importance of the sector.
Along with investment, growth in budgetary allocation for this sector has also declined to8.6% which was 17% in previous years.
Foreign aids to finance this sector seem ineffective as Pakistan is unable to match the
standard for allocation of investments in education.

over the past two years, in relative terms, its economy has exhibited a fair degree ofresilience. Compared to other countries affected by the global financial crisis, it isremarkable that Pakistan is among a handful of countries with a positive rate of growth,and among a very few with the lowest decline in real GDP growth.
The contribution to economic growth is spearheaded by the services sectorwith 96.1 percent stake while only 3.9 percent contribution came from theCommodity Producing Sector (CPS).
One of the important components of CPS, agriculture alone contributed 50.1percent to real GDP growth; however, this is more than neutralized by 50.4percent negative contribution from large-scale manufacturing. Thanks to 16.7percent positive contribution from small-scale manufacturing, the overallnegative contribution of the manufacturing sector stood at 31.9%.
In the service sector major contribution to GDP growth came from transport, storage andcommunication(14.6%), wholesale and retail trade(27.1%), social services(38.6%).

Comment:
On the revenue side, tax-to-GDP and hence, revenue-to-GDP ratios either remainedstagnant or showed secular decline, owing mainly to structural deficiencies in the taxsystem and administration, both at the federal and provincial government level.
However, in 2008-09 total revenue as percentage of GDP recovered slightly due to amarginal improvement in tax revenues as a percentage of GDP.

2009 18.6 15.8 2.8
Comment:
Notwithstanding, difficulties being faced by the economy during the fiscal year (2008-09), better fiscal discipline and improving expenditure management led to substantialimprovement in the fiscal outlook.
Total expenditure has fluctuated between 15 to 18 percent of GDP during the last threeyears. Total expenditure as a percentage of GDP stood at 18.6 percent as compared to22.1 percent last year. The spike in 2007-08 was mainly due to huge unprecedentedexpenditures incurred on account of subsidies and political expediency on the part of the
outgoing government. Year 2009 witnessed correction on this count and expenditure control measures brought
significant downward adjustment in expenditure.
The narrowing of gap between revenue and expenditure is likely to come from additionalresource mobilization rather than expenditure curtailment. At this critical juncture, theeconomy needs fiscal stimulus and compression of the revenue expenditure gap at theexpense of growth enhancing expenditure could prove counterproductive.

Comment:
The overall fiscal deficit witnessed a sharp decline until 2007&2009, except for 2008when the pendulum swung to other extreme.
This declining trend in fiscal deficit was due to falling expenditures rather than rising
revenues.
The shifting of expenditure from current expenditure to development expenditure whileleaving total expenditures stagnant mostly at around 18percent of GDP has helped toimprove the fiscal position. While the reduction in fiscal deficit in 2008-09 occurredmainly through a drastic cut in development expenditures, revenues fell short of thetarget.

Comment:
This year the increase in the price level has been extraordinary in Pakistan. The inflation ratemeasured through the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has climbed to 22.3 percent during 2008-09over the corresponding increase of 12.0 percent. Inflation accelerated at a rapid pace mainlybecause of rising food prices; a weaker rupee/dollar exchange rate; the gradual withdrawal ofsubsidies on gas, electricity and petroleum; the imposition of custom duty on the imports ofvarious items; and an upward revision in the support price of wheat and sugarcane crops.
Both the food and non-food inflation contributed to the overall CPI inflation but in
different ways as various factors influenced the two CPI components separately. Theincrease in food inflation was influenced mainly from a shortfall in the supply of someessential consumer food items such as wheat, meat, sugar, milk and poultry whereas thenon-food price inflation was mainly driven by the price of POL products and the resultantrise in transportation costs.

Comment:
Pakistan has witnessed tremendous pressure on exchange rate during July-October 2008-09 when rupee depreciated by 16.3 percent. The reasons being substantial loss of foreign
exchange reserves massive buying by businesses seeking to avoid exchange losses onimports along with other factors like trade related outflows, political uncertainty andspeculative activities in the foreign exchange market.
With signing of Standby Arrangements with the IMF, the rupee got back some of its lostvalue and with substantial import compression, improvement in overall external balanceincluding revival of external inflows from abroad the exchange rate hovered aroundRs.80.50 during April 2009.

Comment:
Pakistan has also witnessed a substantial fall in FDI inflows in 2008-09 in line withall other developing countries. However, the case of Pakistan is exacerbated bythe deteriorating security environment.
The overall foreign investment during the first ten months (July-April) of the fiscal
year 09 has declined by 42.7 percent and stood at $ 2.2 billion compared to $3.9billion in the same period of last year.
Foreign direct investment (private) showed more resilience and stood at $3205.4million during the first ten months (July-April) of the fiscal year 09 as compared to$3719.1 million in the same period last year thereby showing a decline of 13.8percent. Private portfolio investment on the other hand showed an outflow of$451.5 million as against an inflow of $98.9 million during the comparable periodof last year.

Less progress in FDIs is majorly caused by political instability, higher interestrates, energy crisis, most important of all instable law and order situation.

Comment:
Exports in FY 09 showed a decline of 3.0% in comparison to previous year.
The major negative contribution to this sector came from textile and petroleum which
witnessed a decrease of 9.0 percent and 27.3 percent respectively. However non-textile and petroleum sector showed a positive growth of 5.3 percent which
is more than offset by negative contribution by textile and petroleum.
In spite of overall decrease in exports, the export of food group on back of stellar growthperformance of the rice registered healthy growth of 24.9 percent and other items postedan increase of 16.9 percent.
Export growth is hindered owed to lack of diversification in export goods . The trend ofPakistans export of major items remain more or less same having concentrated on five

30/94
items namely cotton manufactures, leather, rice, synthetic textile and sports goods. Thesefive categories accounts for 73.5 percent of total exports during July-March 2008-09.Within these few items cotton manufactures remain major contributor in total exports.The exports structure suggests that the intensity of concentration is changing slowly.

Comment:
Imports declined by 9.8 percent and stood at $ 28,922.4 million during July-April 2008-09 as against $ 32,059.4 million of the corresponding period last year. The overall importbill is lower by $ 3,137 million than imports in the comparable period of last year. Import
compression measures lowering domestic demand coupled with massive fall ininternational oil prices have started paying dividends and imports witnessed slowdown.Beside that depreciation of rupee had also played a significant role for lower importsduring current fiscal year.
With the exception of machinery group, the lower level of overall import bill is outcomeof reduced imports spending on telecom ($1040.3 million), raw material ($329.9 million),consumer durables ($276.8 million), others (746.9 million), petroleum group (657.6million) and food group ($ 107.9 million). The imports less of petroleum group and

excluding petroleum and food group witnessed decline of 10.6 percent and 11.9 percent,respectively.
Further it isrevealed thatfood group
accountingfor 11.8
percent of total imports, shown a negative growth of 3.1 percent. Import of textile machinery is witnessing a declining trend since 2004-05 with current decline of
49.0 percent during July-April 2008-09 over the comparable period last year revealing thecontinuous deteriorating outlook for the textile sector for past few years and declininginternational demand.
Trade balance:
Comment:
Terms of Trade represent the relative prices of exports in terms of prices of imports. Pakistan iswitnessing persistent deterioration in terms of trade for almost two decades now. After witnessingdeterioration of 11.5 percent during last year 2007-08, countrys terms of trade indices with baseyear 1990 = 100 aggravated to 56.3 during July-March 2008-09 from 57.5 in the corresponding

period of last year. Thus against the 10.0 percent deterioration in the corresponding period offiscal year 2007-08, terms of trade deteriorated by 2.1 percent during July-March 2008-09.
Deterioration in the terms of trade is the lowest ever since 2002-03 which is reflection ofdeclininginternationalprices of
commodityand oil.
The deterioration in the terms of trade has also contributed to deterioration of the current accountdeficit in 2007-08 and modest decline implies that current account deficit is witnessing someimprovement. The reason for deterioration of terms of trade index is the unit value index ofimports is rising at a faster pace than unit value of exports
Improvement in trade deficit arises due to massive decline in imports on the back of importcompression measures taken by government, massive decrease in international prices of oil andcommodity and depreciation in the rupee value.
Current account:
Comment:
The current account deficit has improved by $2.6 billion and stood at $ 8.547 billionduring July- April 2009-09 as against $ 11.173 billion in the corresponding period of lastyear, thereby showing an improvement of 23.5 percent.
The improvement in the current account deficit started in the period November- April2008-09 when it has shown remarkable improvement by 74 percent over thecorresponding period last year on the back of reduction in trade and services accountdeficits.
This improvement contributed by deceleration in import growth owing to easing of thedemand pressures and helped by commodity and petroleum prices crash. Increase inworkers remittance and reduction in services account deficit leads to improvement ofinvisible account.

Comment:
During the first nine months of the current fiscal year 2008-09, Pakistans total external debtincreased from $ 46.3 billion at end-June 2008 to $ 50.1 billion by end-March 2009 anincrease of US $ 3.8 billion or 8.2 percent.
A high and persistent current account deficit implies greater financing requirement by the
economy. A global environment plagued by the economic slowdown has hampered non-debtcreating inflows like FDI and in constricted availability of the non-debt creating inflows; thegovernment has to resort to multilateral and bilateral sources for its financing requirement andthus leading to the stock of outstanding external debt.
In relative terms, EDL as percentage of GDP increased from 28.1 percent at end-June 2008 to30.2 percent by end-March 2009 an increase of 2.1 percentage points. This is the highest everrise in a single year for almost one decade [See Table-9.1]. A significantly depressed economicgrowth and massive depreciation of rupee against dollar partially explains this increase in EDL asa percentage of GDP.
