Physical Review 2010-11

The movement in the growth of large-scale manufacturing (LSM) could not besustained in the initial months of FY 2010-11. The LSM growth turned negative inAugust 2010, due to heavy rains and floods, which particularly affectedconstruction, petroleum refining, cotton textiles, and agro-based industries.However, LSM posted growth in December and onwards despite acute energyshortages and weak textile performance. Similarly, strong domestic demand, ledto robust growth in automobiles, fertilizers, rubber, and engineering industries.Moreover, strong external demand supported the growth in chemicals andleather.

It is fairly anticipated that the export-led growth in the cement sector seen in therecent past would lose some steam as competition tightened due to expansionof cement

producing capacity in the importing countries. Some other export-basedindustries, including pharmaceutical and electric fans, which benefitted fromgeographical diversification in the past two years, lost ground in non-traditionalmarkets. For the pharmaceutical sector, this decline came about in response toincreasingly stringent quality requirements for drug exports, and growingcompetition from India, on the other hand, fan exports are losing to bothChinese and Indian manufacturers in destination markets.

PakistanMajor Business Sectors

1. OVERVIEW AND TRENDS

Pakistans economy has been predominantly agrarian. Since Pakistan came into existence, the contribution of

the agricultural sector to the GDP has declined gradually from over 50 percent in 1949-1950 to about 22

percent in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10 (July 2009-June 2010). However, agriculture still remains the majorsector of the GDP composition. Other economic sectors include industry and services, contributing to the GDPabout 25 percent and 53 percent respectively.

Currency: Pakistani Rupee (Rs.) is the official currency of the country. The notes are in denominations of

5000, 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20 and 10, while coins are available in denomination of 5, 2 and 1.

Rupee CHF parity/Exchange rate: 1 CHF = 90.52 Rs. as on March 9th

2011.

Since its independence in 1947, Pakistan has transformed itself from a low skilled agrarian economy to

a semi-industrialized economy. On the other hand, Pakistan has a long way to go in economic and social

development as a large portion of its 180 million inhabitants is still living below poverty line.

During the last decade, economic developments in Pakistan have been - to a significant extent - influenced bythe Governments Program for poverty reduction and the development of markets and the real economy.

Following the liberalization of markets and the implementation of economic reforms, the followingdevelopments in the economic and social sector have been identified:

High GDP growth resulting from output and sales growth; Monetary stability; Developments of money and securities markets; Improvements in the standard of living and poverty reduction (based on economic growth); Development and reinforcement of the banking sector and enhancement of its role in the social and

economic development of the country.

However, the economic development has been slowed down since 2008, as the macroeconomic situationdeteriorated significantly owing to adverse security developments, large price increase of some commoditiessuch as oil and food, global financial turmoil, and national political issues. Other challenges being faced byPakistans economy include energy deficiency, growing population, etc.In order to ensure that macroeconomic difficulties do not further slow down the pace of job creation andadversely affect poverty reduction, the government reached a Standby Agreement with IMF on November 24,

2008 for a US $11.3 billion, spread out over a period of 23 months.

Its worth mentioning that the recent unprecedented floods and torrential rains (July-August 2010) in the country

to some extent have intensified the effects of an already fragile macroeconomic environment.

However, despite the said challenges, Pakistans economy witnessed a moderate recovery with real

GDP growth rising to 4.1 percent in the FY 2009-10 after falling to a multi-decade low of 1.2 percent inFY 2008-09. The State Bank of Pakistans forecasts suggests that the real GDP growth during FY 2010 -

11 is likely to be in the range of 2 to 3 percent. 2. MAJOR SECTORS OF ECONOMY

Agriculture:The agriculture sector comprising of farming, forestry, livestock, poultry and fisheries, contributesabout 22 percent to the GDP, employs about 45 percent of the total work force and is the main source oflivelihood for over 60 percent of the countrys population living in rural areas. It contributes substantially to the

countrys exports, provides raw material to major industries such as textile, sugar, dairy, leather and other agro-based industries and as well as market for industrial products.

The agriculture growth in the fiscal year (FY) 2009- 10 dropped from 4.0 percent in the preceding year to 2.0percent. This deceleration was not only attributed to a negative growth by the crops sub-sector but also

because of a relatively higher base; offsetting the impact of significant growth in livestock. The performance bythe crops sub-sector suffered in FY 2009-10 due to (a) irrigation water shortages, (b) inadequate availability ofcertified seeds relative to FY 2008-09 and (c) lower rains during the critical sowing period, i.e. Nov-Jan FY2009-10. In addition, uncertainty over prices of rice and sugarcane also contributed to the negative growth ofcropping sector. These factors primarily led to a decline in area under cultivation as well as yields of somemajor crops. A strong recovery was anticipated in the FY 2010-11 but due to the damages to crops by recentfloods and torrential rains (July-August 2010) it will not be realized.

Industry:Industry is the second largest and an important sector of the economy accounting for 25 percent of the

GDP. It comprises of large to middle scale manufacturing, mining & quarrying, construction, electricity

& gas distribution.

In manufacturing, cotton yarn and cotton cloth is the leading sector, followed by food processing industrieslargely based on indigenous raw materials. Engineering sector in Pakistan is engaged in manufacturing cementand sugar plants, industrial boilers, chemical/petrochemical plant & equipment, construction equipment andpower transmission towers, textile related engineering, automot


12/17

During the FY 2009-10, the domestic industrial sector recovered from the longest-ever decline (seen in theprevious year) to record a decent growth of 4.9 percent. The recovery came mainly due to supportivemacroeconomic policies, relatively lower inflation, improved prospects of global economy, and relatively bettercredit availability. The growth in FY 2009-10 was the fourth highest growth rate in the decade, but wasstill below the 10-year average of 5.7 percent.

The industrial growth during FY2009-10 stemmed mainly from a rebound in manufacturing and constructionsectors as government reversed some taxes imposed last year. The resultant price adjustments wereimmediately followed by the pick-up in domestic demand which coupled with available capacities, ensuredpositive growth rate in most sectors. Specifically, while manufacturing sector growth was driven mainly by astrong rebound in consumer durable industries, the growth in construction is explained mainly by lower buildingmaterial prices that revitalized construction activities in the private sector.

On the other hand, the production in mining & quarrying sector declined in FY2009-10, mainly on account of

natural decline in some oil and gas fields.

Services:The services sector is becoming an increasingly important dimension of Pakistans economy due to its

major contribution of about 53 percent in the GDP. Wholesale & retail trade, transport & storage,communication, community & social services and personal services are leading service activities in Pakistan.Other services are finance and insurance, ownership of dwellings, public administration, etc.

After reaching an 11-year low growth (3.1 percent) during FY2008-09, the services sector reboundedstrongly in FY2009-10 with 4.6 percent growth. The higher growth was an outcome of pick up incommodity producing sector activities and was evident mainly in higher than expected contributions of

wholesale & retail trade, public services, telecom and personal services.

While some of the developments observed in FY2009-10 can be singled out as being transient for example,the negative growth in financial sector and the high growth in public administration and defence others arereflective of more enduring trends that emerged during the 2000s decade. Rapid growth has been observed in

technical and skill- based services, such as telecommunications, software development, and accounting andfinance. Moreover, growing automation and trained manpower have significantly changed the landscape byincreasing efficiencies in wholesale & retail and public transport in the country. The single feature thatcharacterizes these trends is the use of modern technology in the services sector.

3. FOREIGN TRADE

Direction of Exports:Pakistans major exports consist of five items (cotton textiles, leather, rice, synthetic textile and sports

goods). These five items accounts for about 70 percent share in the total exports . Intensity ofconcentration further deepens when analyzed within these five export items, as above 52 percent contributionin the total exports comes from cotton textiles.

The composition of exports markets remains fairly concentrated, as about 40 percent of Pakistans exports aredestined to seven major markets (USA, Germany, Japan, UK, Hong Kong, Dubai and Saudi Arabia) and the

remaining exports share of 60 percent consists of all other countries.
