As a result, Pakistan saved Rs850 billion in interest payments this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government had set aside Rs8.2 trillion for interest payments in the current fiscal year, compared to Rs9.8 trillion allocated last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debt-to-GDP ratio improvement<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry noted that the debt-to-GDP ratio, which stood at 74 percent in 2022, has now declined to 70 percent in 2025. This improvement, officials said, reflects reduced refinancing and rollover risks, contributing to greater financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The federal deficit also narrowed to Rs7.1 trillion from Rs7.7 trillion previously, bringing the deficit-to-GDP ratio down from 7.3 percent to 6.2 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary surplus and slower debt growth<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan recorded a primary surplus of Rs1.8 trillion for the second consecutive year, the ministry confirmed. Annual debt growth also slowed to 13 percent compared to 17 percent last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average maturity of public debt improved from 4 years to 4.5 years, while domestic debt maturity rose from 2.7 years to 3.8 years, signaling reduced repayment pressures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Ministry of Finance has issued a clarification on Pakistan\u2019s debt position announcing that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -

Speaking to Bloomberg TV and Reuters on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Bangkok, Aurangzeb outlined the government's strategy to stabilise the economy, manage external debt repayments, attract investment and accelerate privatisation. He said Pakistan had secured adequate fuel supplies without shortages, while critical sectors such as agriculture were holding up despite external pressures. Pakistan targets growth above 4% Aurangzeb said he remained confident that Pakistan's economy could record growth of more than 4% in the current fiscal year, even as elevated oil prices create challenges for the country's economic outlook. Pakistan remains vulnerable to a prolonged Middle East conflict because it depends heavily on Gulf energy imports, remittances and financing support from the region. The country also continues to rely on external financing to strengthen foreign exchange reserves and meet debt repayment obligations. The finance minister said the government was closely monitoring inflation because movements in prices can have knock-on effects on commodity costs and broader economic stability. He stressed that maintaining inflation, foreign exchange reserves and the policy rate at appropriate levels was essential to safeguarding economic stability. Pakistan expands access to int'l capital markets In his interview with Bloomberg TV, Aurangzeb said Pakistan's debt strategy was designed to broaden access to global capital markets while easing pressure from external debt repayments. Pakistan returned to international capital markets after a four-year hiatus, issuing $3 billion in Eurobonds approximately three weeks before the interview. Demand for the issuance was twice the amount offered, reflecting interest from investors across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dailyrapidnews.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pakistan-GDP-growth-to-exceed-4-this-year-Aurangzeb.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":20107,"url":"https:\/\/dailyrapidnews.com\/eng\/2024\/09\/20\/pakistan-will-have-to-pay-rs49-trillion-in-local-loans-by-2030\/","url_meta":{"origin":21875,"position":1},"title":"Pakistan will have to pay Rs49 trillion in local loans by 2030","date":"September 20, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"By 2030, Pakistan is projected to owe a staggering Rs49,629 billion in local debt, according to a recent government document detailing the nation's borrowing patterns.
