ISLAMABAD: The Economic Survey of Pakistan for the fiscal year 2024–25, a key pre-budget document that outlines the government’s assessment of the national economy, will be officially launched on Monday (June 09) .
The survey will be presented by Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance on Sunday.
The Economic Survey serves as a vital document ahead of the annual federal budget, offering detailed insights into the country’s socio-economic performance over the outgoing fiscal year.
It highlights trends, achievements, and challenges across major sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, industry, services, energy, information technology and telecommunications, capital markets, health, education, transport, and communication.
Additionally, the survey will shed light on developments in social protection programs, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure.
The document will also present updated data on critical economic indicators such as inflation, trade and balance of payments, public debt, population growth, employment levels, and climate change impacts. By offering a consolidated view of these indicators, the survey aims to inform public debate and policy planning in the lead-up to the new fiscal year.
According to the Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC), whose recommendations were endorsed by the National Economic Council (NEC), Pakistan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for the fiscal year 2024–25 has been recorded at 2.7 percent.
The target for GDP growth in the next fiscal year has been set at 4.2 percent. The NEC noted that remittances witnessed a strong increase of 30.9 percent from July 2024 to April 2025, and for the first time, the current account balance remained in surplus during this period.
The Economic Survey 2024–25 is expected to set the foundation for the forthcoming federal budget and guide Pakistan’s broader economic agenda as the country continues its efforts toward fiscal consolidation, macroeconomic stability, and inclusive growth.
