September 28, 2024 (MLN): The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded Pakistan's GDP growth rate projection to 3.2% for the fiscal year 2025 from the July's projection of 3.5%.

That compares with the Asian Development Bank's projection of 2.8%.

Pakistan’s economy grew 2.38% in the fiscal year 2023-24 as compared to a contraction of 0.21% in the previous year, but lower than the targeted 3.5%.

The global lender issued a detailed Pakistan report after approving Pakistan’s request for a $7 billion, 37-month Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
