Economic Survey 2008-09 has been released by Finance Ministry of Pakistan and it seems our economy didn’t perform as expected. Below is the small summary while the complete Pakistan Economic Survey 2008-2009 can be downloaded by clicking here. Its in a pdf Format. Despite inhospitable domestic and international environment, Pakistan’s economy grew by 2 percent in the financial year 2008-09. According to Economic Survey 2008-09, launched jointly by Advisor to Prime Minister on Finance, Shaukat Tarin and Minister of State for Finance, Hina Rabbani Khar, here on Thursday, the economic growth of 2.0 percent seems reasonable although it implies definite slippage against 4.1 percent growth of last year and this year’s target of 4.5 percent. Addressing the press conference, Shaukat Tarin said that the economic growth of Pakistan should be looked in the backdrop of global recession where positive growth is a rare exception.
He said that microeconomic crisis, trade shock, global recession and domestic security challenges were the main hurdles in the way of economic growth of the country during the current financial year. He described the year 2008-09 as ‘Year of consolidation’ for the revival of economy, saying that the current government inherited economic setbacks from the previous government. Advisor to Prime Minister on Finance, Shaukat Tarin said that the agriculture sector depicted a stellar growth of 4.7 percent, as compared to 1.1 percent witnessed last year and the target of 3.5 percent for the year. However, the overall FBR tax collection remained less than satisfactory and witnessed deceleration in real terms. Resultantly, the FBR tax collection to GDP ratio is likely to deteriorate to around 9 percent of GDP as against the target of bringing it in the vicinity of 10 percent of GDP. Tarin said that FBR would broaden its tax base by bringing those services and other sectors into the tax net who are still avoiding tax payment but contributing to the GDP. Output in the manufacturing sector contracted by 3.3 percent in 2008-09 as compared to expansion of 4.8 percent last year and target of 6.1 percent. Small and medium manufacturing sector maintained its healthy growth of last year at 7.5 percent. Value-added in the wholesale and retail trade sector grew at 3.1 percent as compared to 5.3 percent in last year and target for the year of 5.4 percent. Finance and insurance sector witnessed registered negative growth of 1.2 percent in 2008-09 he said adding that the performance of the sector shows that Pakistan’s financial sector was integrated in the world economy and is feeling the heat of the crisis plaguing international financial markets. He said that fixed investment decreased to 18.1 percent of GDP from 20.4 percent last year adding that private sector investment was decelerating persistently since 2004-05 and its ratio to GDP declined from 15.7 percent in 2004-05 to 13.2 percent in 2008-09. Private portfolio investment on the other hand showed a net outflow of $451.5 million as against net flow of $98.9 million during the same period of last year. Net foreign assets of the banking system recorded a decline of over Rs.227.1 billion during the first ten months of the current fiscal year to May 9, he added. The inflation rate as measured by the changes in Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 22.3 percent during July-April 2008-09, as against 10.3 percent in the comparable period of last year. Advisor to Prime Minister on Finance, Shaukat Tarin said that overall exports recorded a negative growth of 3.0 percent during July-April 2088-09 against the positive growth of 10.2 percent in the corresponding period of last year. Tarin said that the government has initiated survey on poverty which would be completed in next three months. Related Articles |

i think gov.., should bane to import (luxury cars,performs,cigerates,mobile from china) in order to support economy.
i think govt must ensure immediate steps in cut down its unnecessary expenditures and see common masses as equal to them and must realize the difficulties face by majority of people and must bann on luxurous and extravagant imports(cars,mobiles,clothes,ornaments) and devise plans to enhance exports and offer more subsidies exports and curtail the extra taxes on exports

If the data is not there on Economic Survey of Pakistan, i think you will not be able to find it any where else. I will suggest you should check with Chamber of Commerce as they might have some data.
Government should increase tax on the import of luxerious items to support economic growth.

govt shoud charge tax to the services n sectors which are contributing to gdp. revenue earned from these taxes shuld be used as subsidy for all the food for e1g wheat n sugar. ther is massive improvement in agricultural sector however govt shuld concentrate on manufacturing n services sector to increase the gdp of pakistan. they can encourage small enterprises by giving them various incentives fore.g cheap rents,loans. this will necassirily increse the g.d.p of pakistan

a clean difference b/w the two surveys can be found regarding growth of agriculture sector. the very recent survey mentined growth of this sector at 1.1 but the actual figure last year was 1.5%. This leaves ambiguity in minds.
I m prof of econmics for B.com , M.Com and MBA in Faisalabad. All students are welcomed to get any assistance related to the economic condtions and theories.
Current issue is ECONOMIC DEVELOPEMNT’S OBJECTIVES AND ITS OBSTACLES
give more statics for analysis
government should impose less taxe rates on communication companies.
because through these companies our business, trade and dealings are possible. so after imposing less tax rates on these we can increase our business activities and business will growth aafter that.
and
gorrnment should impose less tax on the import of chemicals because our growth 75% based on agriculture if there is no more production of agriculture, how can we earn more and how can we meetr our basic needs.
All tht had beeen said by my fellows i do agree by there research and sayings but iz ther any one who can let me knw;

i think income support program is not sufficient for poors.Govt should create jobs for them and control prices of food.
plz send me the related current economic survey of Garments industries.
The government should improve the money suppaly and improve the tarade polices more important is that import less and export more and make polices which are related with taxes on import good and etc. thanks
i think that govt. should restrict the imports of luxury items such as luxury cars which are used by politicians.because due to these heavy imports our BOP is highly effected in negetive aspect and our local industry is suffering from these kind of steps.

I’m sure the statistics are not pure and Fianace ministry has again tried to take the help of Window Dressing.

sir! i am a research scholar and wanna get data from East Asian Countries, can u help me that from where i can get statistical data for those nations?
Pakistan is very rich country as for as its natural resources, human capital are concerned. Our main problems of Power Shortage, Agriculture mismanagement and high cost of doing business can be solved by adopting a comprehensive strategy based on these grounds,
1. Energy shortage can be overcome by depending more and building, generating atomic reactor with help of China, and also use of coal which is in abundance in Balochistan for overcoming energy shortage.
2. Agri-based especially, food processing zone should be build and there should be value addition in the food /juices export to the world.
3. Subsidy should be given on chemicals/fertilizers to enhance agri productivity.
4. Transportation- Farm to road access should be enhanced and developed which will increase and foster agri growth and farmers should be ensure to reward properly by minimizing the role of middlemen which are mostly benefited. (The role Trading Corp. is needed here)
5. Market Devirfication,in foods, agri culture and in the field of floral industry, gems and service sector should adopt.
6 Reliance of Textile should be minimized as TOTAL WORLD EXPORT account for 4 % and our share is 2.15%, so we should concentrate on other sectors.
7. In pakistan, Inputs cost are high and we can make joint venture with China, UAE, Saudia in making export zones like in Faisalabad, Sialkot, Lahore through which we can attain Economies of scale and CAN COMPETE WORLD AND BECOME ASIAN TIGER like Malaysia, Taiwan etc. There should also be ban on imports of Lexurious items in order to strengthen local manufacturers.
These are the brief strategies which, I found can foster economic growth, strengthen BOP, and will combat with Trade Deficit issues facing by our country.
Any Suggestion, Sharing of Views are highly appreciated at;

Pakistan Zindabaad
actually our country is full of natural resources, we no need of loan or support from other country, the thing is that
(1) we should controll on corruption which is going to increase day to day in our country.
(2) and an other factor due to our country is suffuring is political forces. How political forces have bad affect on our country? let us see…
suppose if any political party make government other party want to destroy their government, through different issues. opposition party will try to increase in poorty, unemployement, high rates of common use product through using their colleages which have facotries or companies such as suggar mill, flour mill, rice mill, ghee company, etc. mean opostion party fight with government through creating bad economics conditions.
(3) an other factor is opposition will create lot of complex problems/issues that government remain bussy all the time in these issues and could not solve publicf problems and can not improve or develop economics conditions. finally it will be cause the failuar government.
in creating the problems and issues the advisors of government such as advisors of president, adisors of Prime minister, advisors of Chief ministers and Ministers.
which indirectly support to opposition party.
further all of you are cleaver. you can uunderstand the game.
thanx
