Pakistan’s economy expanded by 3.7 percent during fiscal year 2025-26, marking the fastest growth rate recorded in the last four years, according to official economic data.
Despite the improvement, the growth figure remained below the government’s target for the fiscal year, reflecting continued economic challenges and global financial pressures.
Officials said stronger performance in agriculture, services, and selected industrial sectors contributed to the overall economic expansion. Improved business activity and gradual economic stabilization measures also supported growth during the year.
Economic analysts described the development as a positive sign for Pakistan’s economy after a period of slow growth and financial uncertainty. However, experts noted that inflation, fiscal constraints, and external economic pressures continued to affect the country’s ability to achieve higher growth targets.
The government maintained that ongoing reforms, investment initiatives, and economic stabilization policies are expected to support stronger and more sustainable growth in the coming years.
