MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The country is experiencing severe challenges

weaknesses. The macroeconomic imbalances, high inflation, domestic supply shocks and international economic slowdown led to a fall in GDP growth rate to 0.3% in FY 23 as compared to 6.1% of last year. To address the challenges and sustain macroeconomic stability, the Government of Pakistan recently reached a 9-month Staff Level Agreement (SLA) with IMF. While the SLA will give the country much needed relief in the short-term, however, the nation needs a long-term sustainable plan to meet its extensive financing needs in the years ahead.
On the external front, policy tightening, and adoption of stabilization strategies has yielded positive results. The current account deficit (CAD) has narrowed by 85% to USD 2.6 billion in FY23. The improvement in CAD was mainly driven through the reduction in import bill from USD 135 billion to USD 55.3 billion. However, due to slowdown in global demand and an exchange rate peg, exports and workers' remittances declined by 13% and 14% respectively. Despite positive development in CAD, foreign exchange reserves held by the Central Bank dipped below USD 5 billion for the first time in ten years . However, improvements are expected in the coming months with the receipt of bailout funds from IMF and substantial deposits from multilateral countries. The low level of forex reserves, put extraordinary pressure on the local currency, which breached the Rupees 285 against the

aggregate demand, the Central Bank increased the benchmark interest rate to 22%, representing 600 bps increase since December 2022. On the fiscal front, due to the slowdown in economic activity, revenue collection remained short of target. PKR 7,000 billion was collected against the projection of PKR 7,600 billion. Going forward, in order to narrow the fiscal deficit, the Government has recently passed the Finance Act, 2023 which has proposed imposition of further taxes on targeted segments and withdrawal of certain tax credits. The PSX 100 index was also i m p a c t e d b y t h e o n g o i n g e c o n o m i c challenges. However, it remained resilient and improved significantly to over 45,000 points in early July because of improving market sentiment.
The agriculture sector recorded a growth of 1.55% in FY 23 as compared to 4.27% of last year. This is due to a heavy monsoon spell and floods which caused massive damage to the standing crops. To support the sector, the agriculture financial institutions disbursed PKR 1,222 billion as compared to PKR 958 billion last year. Further, with better input situation and water supply, Rabi crops performed better. This helped to improve farm incomes. As a result, demand for consumer durables remained stable in rural areas.
The Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM) index contracted by 9.9% in FY 23. The sector's contraction is mainly due to import restrictions, rupee devaluation, higher financing costs, expensive energy, and local economic and political instability. Resultantly, most demand indicators including sales of cement, POL, automobiles, and textiles reflected a downward trend. However, the recent development under SLA with IMF ensuring unrestricted import movement and uplifting of
