Pakistan GDP growth is forecast by Fitch to reach 3.5% by 2027, supported by reforms and economic stabilization, though risks from inflation, debt, and political uncertainty remain.
Pakistan GDP growth is projected to reach 3.5% by 2027, according to the latest outlook by Fitch Ratings. The agency highlighted that while the country’s economy is on a gradual recovery path, long-standing structural issues continue to pose risks.
Fitch emphasized that economic stability hinges on sustained reforms, particularly in the energy sector, export expansion, and fiscal management. The report noted that high inflation, mounting external debt, and fiscal imbalances are key hurdles Pakistan must overcome to achieve its growth potential.
The projection comes at a time when the government is implementing IMF-backed reforms to stabilize public finances and attract investment. Fitch stated that while there are signs of resilience in industrial output and investment inflows, political uncertainty and external financing needs could slow momentum.
Despite these challenges, the agency expressed cautious optimism, affirming that with consistent reforms and policy discipline, Pakistan GDP growth could reach 3.5% by 2027, creating room for economic recovery and stability.
