Pakistan Economy at a Glance

Pakistan has a semi-industrialized economy which mainly encompasses textiles,

chemicals, food processing, agriculture and other industries. The economy performed better

in 2011-12 than many other developed and developing economies. Economic growth of

Pakistan is seen through gross domestic product purchasing power parity, which was

estimated to be $ 494.8 billion in 2011. Pakistan’s estimated GDP for the year 2011 was USD

210.6 billion, while real growth rate in 2011 as per statistical data was found to be around

2.4 percent.

The agriculture sector is an essential component of Pakistan’s economy. The

agriculture sector recorded a growth of 3.1 percent against 2.4 percent last year. The Large

Scale Manufacturing (LSM) growth is 1.1 percent during July-March 2011-12 against 1.0

percent last year. Overall, the commodity producing sectors and especially the agriculture

sector have performed better. The Services sector recorded growth of 4.0 percent in 2011-

12. According to the Labour Force Survey 2010-11, Pakistan has a labour force of 57.2

million people which is 0.9 million more than the last year. The largest industries of the

country are textile, cement, agriculture, fertilizer, steel, tobacco, edible oil, pharmaceuticals,

construction, materials, shrimp, sugar, food processing, chemical and machinery.

Export of goods is a major concern for Pakistan economy. Pakistan’s total exports for

the year 2010-11 were USD 25 Billion out of which USD 1.45 Billion accounts to engineering

sector, to which the surgical sector constitutes a share of 30%. Major item of exports

includes cotton fiber, vegetables, rice, electrical appliances, textiles, clothing, surgical

instruments, Pakistani assembled Suzuki cars, defense equipment etc. Total imports for

2010-11 were USD 40 Billion out of which USD 11 Billion accounts to engineering sector.

Some important import items of Pakistan are petroleum/petroleum products, automobiles,

medicines, industrial machinery, construction machinery, trucks, electronics, civilian aircraft,

computer, pharmaceuticals, computer parts, food items, toys, defense equipment, iron &

steel.

PREAMBLE

The document “Cost of Doing Business in Pakistan” compiled by

Engineering Development Board is an effort to disseminate information needed

by potential investors and businessmen, starting from the first step of

incorporating a company to cost of human recourse, utilities and logistics, prices

of commodities and facilities, besides information about chambers of commerce

and industry, private/public sector banks and trade & industry associations in

Pakistan.

I am confident that this much needed document will provide the investors

a useful source of comprehensive information, especially those assessing

potential investment avenues in Pakistan.

Engineering Development Board extends its gratitude to all organizations

which provided information for this booklet and sincerely hopes that the effort

shall positively contribute in presenting the realistic image of Pakistan as a viable

emerging destination for doing business.

EDB shall appreciate suggestions for further improvement of the

document.
