  • Finance Minister Ishaq Dar's Keynote Address on Future of Pakistan Economy at Investment Conference, Islamabad 28Th October 2014
    Finance Minister Ishaq Dar's Keynote Address on Future of Pakistan Economy at Investment Conference, Islamabad 28th October 2014 Ladies & Gentlemen, Assalam Alaikum and Good Morning! In June 2013, the smooth transition of power from one elected government to another elected one was indeed unprecedented in Pakistan’s history. This led to a new beginning for a country which has seen too many martial laws and intermittent disruptions of democratic orders. The unequivocal verdict given by the people of Pakistan in a most transparent, free and fair General Election 2013 in favour of the leadership of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and his party PML(N) has seen the transformation of the country into new dimensions of economic development. We have promised to the nation that we will not disappoint it. Pakistan today is way ahead of where it was in June 2013 - just 16 months back. Challenges faced by the government When we took the responsibility of the government, the economy was weak and fragile. The growth rate had averaged less than 3% since 2008-09 - significantly below our potential. Inflation had averaged around 12% per annum in five years while national reserves dropped below US$ 8 billion (SBP US$ 2.8 billion in February 2014). International predictions were that Pakistan will default in June 2014. Circular debt of Rs. 503 billion was crippling the power sector and the economy. Investment-to-GDP ratio was declining continuously and had reached 12.6%, tax-to-GDP ratio had declined to 8.5% while the projected fiscal deficit for 2012-13 was 8.8%.

  • Pakistan: the Heat Is on September 2017
    PAKISTAN: THE HEAT IS ON SEPTEMBER 2017 As we noted earlier this year (Pakistan: Banking on Reform, May 2017), Pakistan has been a successful investment outpost for our Frontier Markets Equity strategy since its inception in 2014. We often ran an overweight position in this market over this period, in what was a positive transformative phase for the Pakistani economy. This culminated in the 2016 announcement from MSCI that the country would be reclassified as an Oliver Bell emerging market – which occurred in May this year. Portfolio Manager, Frontier Markets Equity The overwhelming majority of our positions in Pakistan have since been offloaded, Strategy as the investment thesis on these positions played out – largely due to the strong rise for the market in the lead-up to its entrance to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. However, as we noted in our earlier update, risks have been building in the country – in both the economic and political spheres. Unfortunately, our concern was warranted, with the country’s stock market sliding in recent weeks on a number of significant negative developments. Malik Sarmad Asif Equity Analyst DETERIORATING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS While GDP growth recently came in at a 10-year high1 – largely due to the China– Pakistan Economic Corridor – the broad economic picture in Pakistan is deteriorating. Firstly, Pakistan’s current account deficit more than doubled to US$12.1bn in the year ended 30 June, largely as a result of an overvalued rupee.2 Since peaking last October, foreign reserves have also fallen by a quarter to US$14.3bn.3 The country also faces a twin deficit, with the fiscal deficit blowing out to 6% – far higher than the government anticipated.4 1 Source: State Bank of Pakistan 2 Source: State Bank of Pakistan 3 Source: State Bank of Pakistan 4 Source: Dawn, 6 September 2017 FOR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
