economy
Pakistan has a diversified economic system and is the 42nd largest economy in the world. By 2007, Pakistan's average annual economic growth reached 7% for four consecutive years. Although Pakistan was poor when it became independent in 1947, it achieved economic growth higher than the world average in the following 40 years, but the unwise policies in the 1990s led to economic slowdown.
However, due to the assistance of the International Monetary Fund and the huge debt relief of the United States, the amount of foreign debt has decreased significantly. Pakistan's GDP (at purchasing power parity) is estimated to be $475.4 billion, and its per capita income is $2,542. The poverty rate is estimated to be between 23% and 28%. In the past five years, Pakistan's economic growth rate has increased steadily. However, inflationary pressure and low savings rate may make this high growth rate unsustainable. At an annual growth rate of 4.9%, it will take 159 years for Pakistan to become a developed country.
