Quarterly GDP Growth (YoY)
Source: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), real GVA growth, year-over-year — updated roughly six weeks after each quarter ends.
GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth measures how fast the total value of goods and services produced in Pakistan is increasing compared to a year earlier. It's calculated across three sectors: agriculture, industry, and services.
Pakistan's GDP growth is published annually by the Ministry of Finance and the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, with a more granular quarterly figure (real GVA growth) released roughly six weeks after each quarter ends.
Growth above 5% is generally considered strong for Pakistan, 2-5% is moderate, and below 2% signals a weak economy. Negative growth means the economy is shrinking — a recession.
GDP growth is the headline number used to judge whether Pakistan's economy is creating jobs, raising incomes, and reducing poverty. Pakistan generally needs growth above 5% to meaningfully outpace its fast-growing population and reduce poverty over time.
Slower growth typically means fewer new jobs, weaker tax revenue for the government, and less room for businesses to expand — which is why GDP growth is watched closely by investors, policymakers, and international lenders like the IMF.
