Import Cover Critical
Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves cover only 2.9 months of imports, well below the 3-month minimum threshold. This leaves the economy highly vulnerable to external payment shocks and currency crises.
Elevated Debt Level
Pakistan's debt-to-GDP of 55.0% is above the IMF's 55% prudential threshold, signalling limited fiscal buffers and increased vulnerability to external shocks.
Elevated Inflation
Pakistan's inflation rate of 12.6% is well above single-digit targets, raising the cost of living and complicating monetary policy decisions.
Large Fiscal Deficit
Pakistan's primary deficit of -5.3% of GDP signals persistent overspending relative to revenue, accelerating debt accumulation and narrowing future policy options.
