Abstract

Policy sequencing to stabilize Pakistan’s economy while accelerating inclusive growth and climate resilience.

Fiscal Stabilization with Social Safeguards

Pakistan’s macroeconomic recovery depends on credible fiscal reforms paired with targeted social protection. SIPEG modelling assesses the multiplier effects of subsidy rationalization and productivity-oriented spending.

Trade and Investment Diversification

To navigate global realignments, exporters must deepen value-add segments in textiles, agritech, and services. Strategic use of special economic zones and diaspora capital can underwrite this diversification.

Building Resilience

  • Accelerate renewable energy integration to trim import bills.
  • Deploy digital finance to widen SME credit access.
  • Coordinate climate adaptation financing with national resilience goals.
