  6. Foreword The Economic Survey reviews the performance of Pakistan ’s economy during fiscal year 2018-19. It describes key developments in various sectors of the economy, and summarizes the policies and reform measures undertaken by the government during the year. In terms of Pakistan’s political and economic management history, fiscal year 2018-19 represents a break from the past. People of Pakistan voted into power a new party – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) – mainly as it was seen to provide a transparent, more efficient government with a more egalitarian development agenda. However, the present government inherited a weakening economy. The fiscal deficit was high; the current account deficit was also at the highest level in country’s economic history; debt liabilities had risen to a level where servicing of the debt took a sizeable portion of the federal government’s budget; and foreign exchange reserves had depleted to a level that was insufficient to finance even two months of imports. This instability was a result of structural weaknesses in the economy which had remained unaddressed for decades. Insufficient policy action over the last two years aggravated the macroeconomic imbalances. The new government took several policy actions to meet these challenges. It took measures to curtail non-essential imports, encourage remittances and with support from friendly countries reduced external vulnerabilities. The exchange rate adjustment was aimed to bring it to equilibrium value. Energy prices, which were artificially suppressed for a prolonged period of time, were adjusted and import duties and tax rates were rationalized. In the later part of the year the government reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to support government’s stabilization and structural reform program. This agreement helps Pakistan’s access to international markets and concessionary financing from other multilateral partners as well. The stabilization measures taken by the government have helped in lowering the trade deficit, with higher inflows of workers’ remittances leading to an even larger reduction in current account deficit. However, these measures, although critically essential, had some short term costs in terms of larger fiscal deficit, higher inflation and lower GDP growth. Beside these domestic macroeconomic challenges, the economic indicators have also been impacted by a global environment where protectionist tendencies are on the rise and global monetary and economic conditions have constrained international capital flows. The government is committed to take on emerging challenges through appropriate policy response. Moving forward, the aim is to put the economy on a path of sustainable growth by tackling the fundamental weaknesses. These include: the chronically low level of revenue generation; inadequate level of savings and investment and stagnant exports. The government has already taken some measures to address these issues, which will be expanded and strengthened with the passage of time. The Economic Survey is prepared by the Economic Advisor’s Wing of the Ministry of Finance. It reviews in detail the major sectors of the economy during the fiscal year 2018-19. I wish to record my appreciation to the Economic Adviser’s Wing for its hard work in preparing this document for policy makers, economists, researchers and public at large. Dr. Abdul Hafeez Shaikh Adviser to PM on Finance, Revenue and Economic Affairs Islamabad the 10th June 2019

  12. Overview of the Economy The macroeconomic stability is a fundamental pre-requisite for sustained economic growth . Pakistan’s economy has experienced frequent boom and bust cycles. Typically, each cycle comprised of 3-4 years of relatively higher growth followed by a macroeconomic crisis which necessitated the stabilization programs. The inability to achieve sustained and rapid economic growth is due to structural issues which require effective monetary and fiscal measures to achieve macroeconomic stability. The outgoing five-year plan has seen an average growth of 4.7 percent against the target of 5.4 percent. This growth can be characterized as a consumption led growth. The unplanned borrowing from different sources increased both private and public consumption resulting in higher debt repayment liabilities, which created severe macroeconomic imbalances. The investment did not pick up as higher demand was met primarily through imports leading to enormous rise in external imbalances. Due to low growth in revenues and the unplanned and unproductive expenditures, the fiscal deficit widened. The persistence of large fiscal and current account deficits and associated build up of public and external debt became the major source of macroeconomic imbalance. The new elected government faces formidable macroeconomic challenges. The foremost challenge to the economy is the rising aggregate demand without corresponding resources to support it, leading to rising fiscal and external account deficits. To address the issue of severe macroeconomic instability and to put the economy on the path of sustained growth and stability, the government has introduced a comprehensive set of economic and structural reform measures. As a short-term measure to get a breathing space, the government secured $ 9.2 billion from friendly countries to build up buffers and to ensure timely repayment of previous loans. The government has also taken some overdue tough decisions i.e. increase in energy tariffs to stop further accumulation of circular debt, reduction in imports through regulatory duties and withdrawal of some of the tax relaxations given in the last budget in order to arrest the deterioration in primary balance. These painful decisions were tough for the new elected government, but at the same time were necessary for economic stabilization. Recently, staff level agreement has been negotiated with the IMF to avail Extended Fund Facility for achieving macroeconomic stability. The staff level agreement will now be placed before the IMF Board for its approval. The impact of macroeconomic adjustment policies, such as monetary tightening, exchange rate adjustment, expenditure control and enhancement of regulatory duties on non-essential imports, started to become visible this year. These steps have served to bring some degree of stability and have also helped in reducing economic uncertainty. However, the situation calls for sustained efforts. The outgoing fiscal year 2018-19 witnessed a muted growth of 3.29 percent against the ambitious target of 6.2 percent. The target was based upon sectoral growth projections for agriculture, industry, and services at 3.8 percent, 7.6 percent and 6.5 percent respectively. The actual sectoral growth turned out to be 0.85 percent for agriculture, 1.4 percent for industry and 4.7 percent for services. Some of the major crops witnessed negative growth as production of cotton, rice and sugarcane declined by 17.5 percent, 3.3 percent and 19.4 percent respectively. The crops showing positive growth include wheat and maize which grew at the rate of 0.5 percent and 6.9 percent respectively. Other crops have shown growth of 1.95 percent mainly due to increase in production of pulses and
  13. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 oil seeds . Cotton ginning declined by 12.74 percent due to a decline in production of cotton crop. Livestock sector has shown a growth of 4.0 percent. The growth recorded for the forestry is 6.47 percent which was mainly due to increase in production of timber in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ranging from 26.7 to 36.1 thousand cubic meters. The growth in industrial sector has been estimated at 1.40 percent. The mining and quarrying sector has witnessed a negative growth of 1.96 percent mainly due to reduction in production of natural gas (-1.98 percent) and coal (-25.4 percent). The large-scale manufacturing sector as per QIM data (from July 2017 to February 2018) shows a decline of 2.06 percent. Major decline has been observed in Textile (-0.27 percent), Food, Beverage & Tobacco (-1.55 percent), Coke & Petroleum Products (-5.50 percent), Pharmaceuticals (-8.67 percent), Chemicals (-3.92 percent), Non-Metallic Mineral Products (-3.87 percent), Automobiles (-6.11 percent) and Iron & Steel products (-10.26). On the other hand, the substantial growth in LSM has been observed in Electronics (34.63 percent) Engineering Products (8.63 percent) and Wood Products (17.84 percent). Electricity and gas sub sector has grown by 40.54 percent, whereas the construction activity has declined by 7.57 percent. The services sector has shown an overall growth of 4.71 percent. Wholesale and Retail Trade grew by 3.11 percent, while the Transport, Storage and Communication sector registered a growth of 3.34 percent mainly due to positive contribution by railways (38.93 percent), air transport (3.38 percent) and road transport (3.85 percent). Finance and insurance sector showed an overall growth of 5.14 percent. While the central banking has declined by 12.5 percent, a positive growth has been observed in scheduled banks (5.3 percent), non-scheduled banks (24.6 percent) and insurance activities (12.8 percent). The Housing Services has grown at 4.0 percent. The growth recorded in General Government Services is 7.99 percent which is mainly on account of increase in salaries of employees of federal, provincial and district governments. Other private services, comprising of various distinct activities such as computer related activities, education, health & social work, NGOs etc recorded a growth of 7.05 percent. The total investments as a percentage of GDP was recorded at 15.4 percent against the target of 17.2 percent. The fixed investment as percentage of GDP remained 13.8 percent against the target of 15.6 percent, while public and private investments remained at 4.0 and 9.8 percent against the target of 4.8 and 10.8 percent respectively. The National Savings remained at 10.7 percent of GDP against the target of 13.1 percent. The consumption growth was recorded at 11.9 percent compared to 10.2 percent growth recorded last year. As percentage of GDP, it increased to 94.8 percent compared to last year’s figure of 94.2 percent. On the demand side, the exports declined by 1.9 percent despite exchange rate depreciation, while imports declined by 4.9 percent. This helped in reducing the trade deficit by 7.3 percent during JulyApril FY 2019 while it had shown an expansion of 24.3 percent during the corresponding period of last year. The workers’ remittances played a major role in containing current account deficit to 4.03 percent of GDP. The CAD showed a contraction of 27 percent during July-April of the current year while it had expanded by 70 percent during the corresponding period of last year. The State Bank is following a contractionary policy to anchor the aggregate demand and address rising inflation on the back of high fiscal and current account deficits. The next year, agriculture sector is likely to rebound under Prime Minister’s Agriculture Emergency Program. The water availability is expected to be better as compared to current year. There is substantial increase in Agriculture Credit disbursement which is recorded at Rs. 805 billion during July-April FY2019 compared to Rs.666.2 billion during the corresponding period of last year, posting a growth of 20.8 percent. The import of agriculture machinery has recorded a growth of 10.95 during July-April FY2019 which is a good indicator. The base effect will also support growth in agriculture. ii
  14. Overview of the Economy The Large-Scale Manufacturing sector which posted a negative growth this year is likely to rebound on the back of expected growth in agriculture sector along with government initiatives in the construction sector , SMEs sector and tourism and automobile sector. Both, agriculture and LSM sector growth is likely to have a good impact on services sector on account of goods transport services linked to agriculture and wholesale trade. The fiscal tightening and the rising inflation on account of increasing utility prices, rationalization of taxes, measures to reduce the primary balance, and any further exchange rate adjustments, alongwith higher oil prices, protectionists tendencies in some of the economies and tightening monetary conditions in the developed countries leading to lower capital inflows will remain downside risk. Global Economic Environment After witnessing a strong growth in 2017 at 4.0 percent, the global economic activity slowed during the second half of 2018 to 3.6 percent while it is expected to reduce further to 3.3 percent in 2019. The slowdown in economic activity is attributed to multiple factors, including rising trade tensions and tariff hikes between the United States and China, which is the biggest risk to financial stability in Eurozone. In contrast, some developing economies could be benefitting from this trade diversion as prices of these targeted goods may rise in US and China. This tariff battle between USA and China is estimated to have affected almost 2.5 percent of global trade. Germany’s unemployment rate has shown an increase for the first time since 2013 amid signs of slowing growth in Europe’s biggest economy. Uncertainty created by Brexit has led to decline in business confidence and has further contributed towards slowing of growth in Euro zone. In response to the growing global risks to the economy, the US Federal Reserve has adopted a more accommodative monetary policy stance. Similarly, other central banks around the world like the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England have also moved to adopt a more accommodative stance while China has ramped up its fiscal and monetary stimulus to cope with the negative effect of trade tariffs. Resultantly, the tightening of financial conditions has reversed across countries. Likewise, emerging markets have witnessed resumption in portfolio flows, a decline in sovereign borrowing costs, and a strengthening of their currencies relative to the dollar. As the growth is likely to improve during the second half of 2019, it is projected to return to 3.6 percent in 2020. The projected improvement in global economic growth during the second half of 2019 is expected on account of gradual recovery and stabilization in Argentina and Turkey alongwith some other stressed emerging economies, current build-up of policy stimulus in China and improvement in global financial sentiments The growth beyond 2020 is predicted to stabilize, mainly supported by growth in China and India. However, the growth in advanced economies will continue to slow down on account of factors such as the fading of the impact of US fiscal stimulus, ageing trends and low productivity growth. On the other hand, the growth in emerging markets and developing economies is expected to stabilize at around 5 percent, though with substantial variation between countries. According to World Economic Outlook (WEO) April (2019), the baseline outlook for emerging Asia remains favourable, with China’s growth projected to slow gradually toward sustainable levels and convergence in frontier economies toward higher income levels. For other regions, the outlook is complicated by a combination of structural bottlenecks, slower advanced economy growth and, in some cases, high debt and tighter financial conditions. These factors, alongside subdued commodity prices and civil conflict in some cases, contributed to subdued medium-term prospects for Latin America; the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan region; and parts of sub-Saharan Africa. iii
  15. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Growth and Investment The provisional GDP growth rate for FY2019 is estimated at 3 .29 percent on the basis of 0.85, 1.40 and 4.71 percent growth in agricultural, industrial and services sectors respectively. Agriculture: The provisional agriculture sector growth is estimated at 0.85 percent. The crops sector has witnessed negative growth of 4.4 percent during FY2019 mainly due to negative growth (-6.6 percent) of important crops. Production of cotton, rice and sugarcane declined by 17.5, 3.3, and 19.4 percent, respectively, while the wheat output posted a marginal growth of 0.5 percent and production of maize grew by 6.9 percent. Other crops have shown growth of 1.95 percent mainly because of increase in production of pulses and oil seeds. Decrease in production of cotton crop also caused decline in cotton ginning by 12.7 percent. Livestock sector has shown a growth of 4.0 percent while the growth of forestry remained at 6.47 percent due to increase in production of timber in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the range of 26.7 to 36.1 thousand cubic meters. Industry: During FY2019, the provisional growth in industrial sector has been estimated at only 1.40 percent mainly due to decline by 2.06 percent in large scale manufacturing sector and by 1.96 percent in mining and quarrying sector. Services: Provisional estimates have shown that the services sector posted a growth of 4.71 percent. Wholesale and Retail Trade sector grew at a rate of 3.11 percent. As value added in this sector depends upon output of agriculture and manufacturing sectors and volume of imports, it is safe to say that bulk of growth in wholesale and retail sector could be attributed to increase in volume of imports and the growth in livestock. Transport, Storage and Communication sector has registered a growth of 3.34 percent due to positive contribution of railways (38.93 percent), air transport (3.38 percent) and road transport (3.85 percent). Finance and insurance sector showed an overall growth of 5.14 percent, despite a decline (of 12.5 percent) in value add of the central bank. The scheduled banks, non-scheduled banks and insurance sub-sector posted positive growth (5.3 percent, 24.6 percent and 12.8 percent respectively). The Housing Services grew by 4.0 percent and the General Government Services by 7.99 percent. It is mainly driven by the increase in salaries of federal, provincial and district governments. Other private services, which is composed of various distinct activities such as computer related activities, event management, education, health & social work, NGOs etc. has contributed positive growth of 7.05 percent. Investment: The provisional estimates of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) for the year FY2019 stands at Rs.5340.0 billion with a growth of 1.9 percent as compared to FY2019. In private sector, the GFCF is estimated at Rs.3796.1 billion during FY2019 against Rs.3564.0 billion in FY2018 with an increase of 6.5 percent, while in Public Sector GFCF posted a growth of 9.8 percent as it is estimated at Rs.345.3 billion during FY2019 against Rs.314.6 billion during FY2018. The provisional overall GFCF for general government services for FY2019 has been estimated at Rs.1198.5 billion, a decline of 12 percent over the revised estimates of Rs.1362.3 billion during FY2018. GFCF related expenditure for the federal government has been estimated at Rs.419.8 billion with growth of 15.6 percent over previous year's estimates of Rs.362.3 billion. However, GFCF related expenditure by provincial governments has declined by 29.2 percent from Rs.909.1 billion to Rs.643.8 billion. However, expenditure on GFCF incurred by district governments has increased by 48.4 percent from Rs.90.9 billion to Rs.135.0 billion. During FY 2019, per capita income stood at $1,497.3. iv
  16. Overview of the Economy Saving-Investment Gap : The State bank of Pakistan has made a sizeable adjustment in the interest and exchange rates to contain the aggregate demand and ease the pressure on the balance of payments. These efforts helped in reducing Saving-Investment gap, which has been contracted by 27 percent during July-April FY 2019 compared to 70 percent expansion during same period last year. It happened mainly because, trade deficit declined by 7 percent primarily due to containment in imports while last year it had recorded 23 percent growth. Imports declined by 5 percent while workers’ remittances posted a growth of 9 percent during the period under discussion The present government has undertaken significant measures to curb aggregate demand that has compounded the size of external current account deficit to an unprecedented level. During FY2019, the economy experienced partial adjustments due to inertia as is evident from a high consumption to GDP ratio and a large fiscal deficit. However, after entering IMF’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF), market confidence will improve. Moreover, the chances of getting additional financial support from other development and bilateral partners will also increase. These developments will help in increasing the macroeconomic stability and will set the path for high and inclusive growth. Agriculture The performance of Agriculture during 2018-19 remained subdued. It grew by only 0.85 percent against the target of 3.8 percent. The under-performance of agriculture sector hinged upon reduction in the area of cultivation, lower water availability and drop in fertilizer off take. The crops sector has witnessed negative growth of 4.43 percent against the target 3.6 percent on the back of decline in growth of important crops by (-6.55) percent. Sugarcane production declined by (-19.4) percent to 67.174 million tons, Cotton (-17.5 percent) to 9.861 million bales and Rice (-3.3 percent) to 7.202 million tonnes while production of Maize crop increased by 6.9 percent to 6.309 million tonnes and production of wheat crop marginally increased by 0.5 percent to 25.195 million tonnes. Other crops having share of 11.21 percent in agriculture value addition and 2.08 percent in GDP, showed growth of 1.95 mainly due to increase in production of pulses and oilseeds. Cotton ginning declined by 12.74 percent due to decrease in production of cotton crop. Livestock having share of 60.54 percent in agriculture and 11.22 percent in GDP, recorded the growth at 4.0 percent against the target of 3.8 percent. The Fishing and Forestry sector having share of 2.10 percent each in agriculture value addition grew by 0.79 and 6.47 percent, respectively. The strong growth in forestry is due to increase in timber production in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the range of 26.7 to 36.1 thousand cubic meters. The gram production increased by 35.6 percent on account of higher yield due to favourable weather condition prevalent at the time of sowing. The production of Bajra increased by 3.2 percent. The production of Barley, Rapeseed & Mustard and Tobacco remained constant while the production of Jowar witnessed a decline of 2.6 percent. The production of Onion and Chillies witnessed increase of 2.0 percent to 2.12 thousand tonnes and 0.4 percent to 148.7 thousand tonnes respectively, as compared to production of last year. However, the production of pulse Mash (Lentil), Moong and Potato decreased by 5.5 percent, 3.4 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively compared to last year’s production. While the production of Masoor pulse remained the same as last year’s production. The total availability of water for the Kharif crops 2018 recorded 59.6 Million Acre Feet (MAF), which means it remained short by 11.2 percent against the average system usage of 67.1 MAF and by 14.9 percent as compared to Kharif 2017. During Rabi season 2018-19, the total water availability was recorded at 24.8 MAF showing an increase of 2.5 percent over Rabi 2017-18 and a decline of 31.9 percent from the normal availability of 36.4 MAF. v
  17. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 The domestic production of fertilizers during 2018-19 (July-March) increased by 2.6 per cent over the same period of previous year. This increase is due to functioning of two urea manufacturing plants (Agritech& Fatima Fertilizer) as supply of LNG was available on subsidized rates. The imported fertilizer increased by 4.8 percent. Therefore, total availability of fertilizer increased by 3.2 percent during current fiscal year. Total off take of fertilizer nutrients decreased by 7.3 percent. Nitrogen off take decreased by 2.89 percent and phosphate by 18.2 percent. Potash off take recorded an increase of 4.55 percent during 2018-19 (July-March). Reduction in fertilizers off take was due to its high prices. In line with government’s priority for agriculture sector development, Agricultural Credit Advisory Committee (ACAC) has set the indicative agricultural credit disbursement targets at Rs 1,250 billion for FY 2018-19 to 50 agriculture lending institutions including 19 commercial banks, 2 specialized banks, 5 Islamic banks, 11 microfinance banks and 13 microfinance institutions/rural support programs (MFIs/RSPs). During FY 2018-19 (July- March), the agriculture lending institutions have disbursed Rs. 805 billion which is 64.4 percent of the overall annual target of Rs. 1,250 billion and 20.8 percent higher than the disbursement of Rs. 666.2 billion made during corresponding period of last year. The outstanding portfolio of agriculture loans has increased by 15.5 percent to Rs. 70.7 billion by end March, 2019. Further, the agriculture outreach in terms of total borrowers has increased to 4.0 million, showing a rise of 8.2 percent over 3.72 million borrowers as of end June, 2018. Manufacturing & Mining: The Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM) declined by 2.93 percent during July-March FY 2019 in contrast to growth of 6.33 percent during the same period last year. The target for this year was 8.1 percent. The present trend suggests that full year LSM growth will remain below the target by a wide margin. Year on Year (YoY), LSM growth witnessed sharp decline of 10.63 percent in March 2019 as compared to increase of 4.70 percent in March 2018. There are a number of factors which have contributed to the negative growth in LSM. These include lower PSDP expenditures compared to last year, muted private sector construction activities and lower consumer spending on durable goods amongst others. This was more noticeable in construction-allied industries. Demand for housing moderated as the price of building materials and cost of financing increased. Moreover, additional tax measures further restricted the real estate market. Certain sector-specific issues also contributed to the decline in LSM. Automobile prices witnessed multiple upward revisions due to PKR depreciation which made the potential buyers refrain from making booking and purchases. Certain restrictions on non-filers with respect to purchase of cars further dampened the automobile demand. Pharmaceuticals also suffered due to a considerable lag in regulatory adjustments in prices. This pricing issue was in addition to weakening of the local currency, which added to the distress of an import dependent sector. The industry specific data shows that electronics recorded highest growth of 23.70 percent, wood products 15.21 percent, rubber products 3.47 percent, engineering products 9.54 percent, leather products 0.97 percent and fertilizers 4.50 percent. The industries which recorded negative growth during the period are; Iron & Steel 11.00 percent, Pharmaceuticals 8.40 percent, Automobile 7.58 percent, Coke & Petroleum products 6.00 percent, Food Beverages & Tobacco 4.69 percent, Chemicals 3.94 percent, Paper & Board 3.86 percent, Non-metallic mineral product 4.96 percent and Textile 0.30 percent. The Mining and Quarrying sector declined by 1.96 percent during Jul-Feb FY 2019 in contrast to the growth of 7.7 percent during the same period last year. Chromite, Magnesite, Rock salt, Barytes, Ocher and Crude oil posted a positive growth of 228.69 percent, 159.63 percent, 12.65 percent, vi
  18. Overview of the Economy 22 .15 percent, 19.12 percent and 0.47 percent respectively. However, some minerals witnessed negative growth during the period under review such as Coal 25.42 percent, Natural gas 1.98 percent, Sulphur 40.72 percent, Calcite 91.49 percent, Soap stone 13.12 percent, Marble 4.66 percent and Bauxite 30.82 percent Fiscal Development In Pakistan, fiscal sector has faced multifaceted challenges over the years due to excessive and unproductive expenditures on one hand and lower tax revenues on the other. Generally, higher current expenditures and lower tax revenues left limited fiscal space for public investment and social safety net. Furthermore, high interest payments, untargeted subsidies, loss making PSEs, energy subsidies and security related issues all weighed on expanding fiscal deficit. During the last five years, total revenue as percent of GDP on average reached to 14.9 percent, whereas it stood at 15.1 percent in FY2018. The total expenditures as percent of GDP on average reached to 20.5 percent, while during the preceding year FY2018, it was the highest at 21.6 percent. Resultantly, fiscal deficit on average stood at 5.5 percent, while during the last year it was recorded at 6.5 percent. During first nine months (July- March) CFY2019, consolidated fiscal indicators suggest that total revenue registered zero growth, while growth in total expenditures was 8.7 percent. Therefore, fiscal deficit as percent of GDP was 5.0 percent as compared 4.3 percent during the corresponding period of last year. Total revenue increased to Rs 3,583.7 billion (9.3 percent of GDP) from Rs 3,582.4 billion (10.3 percent of GDP) during the comparable period of last year, showing almost zero growth in comparison of growth of 13.9 percent during the same period last year. Decelerated performance of total revenues primarily was due to marginal growth of 1.8 percent in tax revenues and negative growth of 16.7 percent in non-tax revenues.

  19. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Total revenues of provincial governments increased by 1 .5 percent during Jul-Mar, FY2019, whereas total expenditures declined by 5.2 percent. As a result, overall provincial surplus increased to Rs 291.6 billion as compared to Rs 191.05 billion during the same period last year. For FY2019, provincial surplus target is budgeted at Rs 285.6 billion. Money and Credit Twin deficits on fiscal and external front, emerging inflationary pressure and high aggregate demand has posed challenges for the economy towards the end of FY2018. Resultantly, SBP reversed its policy stance since January 2018 from accommodative to contractionary monetary policy to curb excessive aggregate demand and ensure near term stability. Policy rate has gradually increased by cumulative 650 bps. The policy rate stands at 12.25 percent effective from 21 st May, 2019. During the period 01 July-26 April, FY2019 money supply (M2) increased by Rs 625.3 billion (growth of 3.9 percent) compared with Rs 601.8 billion (growth of 4.1 percent) in comparable period last year. Within Broad Money, NFA of the banking sector further contracted to Rs 882.4 billion during 01 July-26 April, FY2019 against contraction of Rs 475.4 billion during the comparable period last year. Therefore, both SBA and scheduled bank’s NFA remained negative during the period under review. During the period 01 July-26 April, FY2019 NDA of the banking sector registered an expansion of Rs 1,507.7 billion (growth of 9.3 percent) compared with Rs 1,077.2 billion (7.7 percent) during the same period last year.

On the other hand, government retired Rs 2,131.7 billion to scheduled banks against retirement of Rs 466.1 billion during the same period last year. Net government sector borrowing thus remained at Rs 908.0 billion during the period under review compared with Rs 813.6 billion during the corresponding period last year. During the period 01 July-26 April, FY2019, flows of private sector credit has been recorded at Rs 580.9 billion compared with Rs 498.5 billion during the same period last year, witnessing Year on Year (YoY) growth of 15.1 percent against a growth of 14.7 percent during the same period last year. During July-March, FY2019 working capital credit demand increased to Rs 369.0 billion against Rs 215.3 billion in the same period last year. Credit demand for fixed investment decelerated to Rs 83.1 billion during July-March FY2019 compared to Rs 148.1 billion during the same period last year. Prudent risk-based regulations have also helped the banking sector to maintain a strong solvency profile. Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) improved to 16.2 percent as of end December-2018; well above the minimum required level of 11.90 percent and global benchmark of 10.5 percent. Capital markets & Corporate Sector Capital market in Pakistan plays a crucial role in mobilizing domestic resources and channeling them to productive uses; however, its performance remained volatile during the period under discussion. Many factors contributed to its volatility. The PSX index has increased from 33,229 points as on January 1, 2016, to 38,649 as on March 31, 2019, a rise of 16 percent. At the start of FY2019, the market gained some momentum, reaching viii
  20. Overview of the Economy 43 ,557 points on July 30, 2018, after which it started moving down, reaching period’s lowest index at 36,663 points on October 16, 2018. The financial measures introduced through Finance Bill in January 2019 gave some respite to the market and the index saw rising trend for some period. However, it has remained volatile during the period under review and closed at 38,649 points on March 31, 2019, while the market capitalization was Rs.7,868.6 billion. The average daily value traded (T+2) during the first nine months of FY 2019 was Rs. 7.2 billion and the average daily turnover was 170 million shares. The average daily trade value in futures was Rs. 2.9 billion and the trading volume was 71 million shares during the period. The foreign investors offloaded securities worth US$ 373 million which was absorbed by domestic investors, Banks/DFIs, companies and insurance companies. The strong buying by local investors has shown the confidence of the investors in Pakistan equity market. Going forward it is expected that the market will move in upward trajectory. In order to provide short-term stimulus to the stock market and arrest its downward trend, the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet Division authorized the government to issue sovereign guarantee amounting to Rs. 20 billion for investment in National Investment Trust (NIT)-State Enterprise Fund. This step would increase liquidity in the PSX and would woo investors to divert more investment in the market. As of March 31, 2019, 120 corporate debt securities were outstanding with an amount of Rs.888.24 billion. These nine months saw 10,865 new companies getting registered with the SECP, a growth of 30 percent from the corresponding period of last financial year. Assets under management of the mutual funds stood at Rs. 635.90 billion. Equity Funds dominated the industry with the largest share i.e. 37.75 percent of the mutual fund industry. Money Market held the second largest industry share i.e. 36.93 percent, followed by Income Funds with industry share of 17.50 percent as of March 31, 2019, The SECP has taken additional measures in this fiscal year to address potential threat of money laundering and terrorist financing within its regulated entities and maintained integrity of the financial markets, including framing of SECP Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Regulations 2018, amendment in Securities Brokers (Licensing and Operations) Regulations 2016 by introducing pre-condition that ultimate beneficial owners of securities broker should not have been convicted in any predicate offences provided under AntiMoney Laundering Act 2010 or the Anti- Terrorist Act 1997, and organizing fifteen awareness sessions on AML/CFT regulatory framework. Inflation The CPI has witnessed a rising trend during the current financial year. It increased to 5.8 percent in July 2018 and after remaining sticky at 5 percent during following two months increased to 6.8 percent in October 2018. The spike witnessed in October 2018 was due to increase in gas prices. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority revised the retail prices of natural gas for various consumers after keeping them unchanged for about two years. The substantial increase of 9.4 percent was witnessed in March 2019 while in April 2019 it was recorded at 8.8 percent. During July-April FY2019 headline inflation measured by CPI averaged at 7.00 percent against 3.77 percent during corresponding period of last year on the back of the prevalence of some underlying demand in the economy as well as continued pass through of exchange rate depreciation and higher fuel prices. ix
  21. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 The other inflationary indicators like Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI) remained at 4.0 percent during Jul-April FY 2019 against the 0.8 percent during the corresponding period last year. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) was recorded at 11.7 percent in July-April FY 2019 compared to 2.8 percent in corresponding period of FY 2018. Core inflation which is Non Food and Non Energy is recorded at 8.1 percent compared to 5.6 percent of corresponding period of FY 2018. The rising input costs on the back of high utility prices and the lagged impact of exchange rate depreciation is likely to maintain upward pressure on inflation during the remaining period of current fiscal year. The impact will be more visible on non food prices while the food prices are likely to remain stable due to effective monitoring of prices and smooth supply of essential commodities by the federal and provincial governments. Trade and Payments The export target for FY2019 was set at US$ 28 billion. Exports registered a decline of 1.9 percent growth during July-April FY2019. Exports during July-April FY2019 reached to US$ 20.09 billion as compared to US$ 20.48 in July-April FY2018. Import target for FY2019 was set to US$ 56.5 billion. Imports stood at US$ 44.03 billion in July-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 46.30 billion in the same period last year showing a decline of 4.9 percent. The reduction in imports is due to decrease in imports of furnace oil, machinery & electric equipment, palm oil, colza seeds and textiles. Trade account especially services trade presented a positive picture in FY2019. Goods Trade balance contracted by 7.3 percent during Jul-Apr FY2019 to US$ 23.93 billion as compared to US$ 25.81 billion in the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, services sector remained on positive trajectory throughout FY2019. Major shift in current account balance also came from services sector which shrunk by 36.18 percent to US$ 3.217 billion during Jul-Apr FY2019 as compared US$ 5.04 billion in the same period last year. Pakistan’s current account deficit outlook remains positive throughout FY2019. Current account deficit reached to US$ 11.586 billion in Jul-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 15.864 billion in the same period last year and showed a contraction of 26.9 percent. While last year during the same period it widened by 69.6 percent during July-April FY2018. However, month on month it increased to US$ 1241 million in April FY2019 as compared to US$ 871 million in March FY2019. Decreasing exports and low remittances, specifically from EU and UAE, pushed up CAB in the month of April FY2019. The remittances registered a significant growth of 8.45 percent during July-April FY 2019 as compared to 5.36 percent last year, and reached to US$ 17.875 billion during first ten months of current fiscal year against US$ 16.482 billion during the same period last year. On the back of initiatives taken by the government and the trend observed, it is expected that target of US$ 21.2 billion for FY 2019 is likely to be achieved. Foreign investment remained low during Jul-Apr FY2019. It dropped by 51.7 percent in July-April FY2019 to US $ 1.376 billion as compared to US $ 2.849 billion in July-April FY2018. FDI from China remained at 31.2 percent of overall inflows as compare to 60.5 percent in the preceding year. However, China continued to dominate direct investment followed by UK and Hongkong. A considerable decline in investment from Malaysia has been observed in this period. Foreign portfolio investment account witnessed an outflow of US$ 1.27 billion in July-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 2.352 billion inflows in the same period last year. Eurobond and Sukuk bonds in x
  22. Overview of the Economy December 2017 worth of US $ 2.5 billion were the main reason of the hump in FPI last year. However, amid decline in foreign investment, external financing from bilateral sources were quite helpful. Meanwhile, Pakistan has also improved its position on ease of doing business index and jumped to 136th position as compared to 147th position last year out of total 190 economies. This will surely attract foreign investors and will boost FDI. Although the higher import bills and debt repayments led to depletion of FR reserves. Yet it was stabilized with the help of monetary inflows from friendly countries. Pakistan had received US$ 9.2 billion as a financial support from China, Saudi Arabia and UAE between July 1, 2018 and end-March 2019. Foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 15.722 billion till end-April FY2019. This was below than the total reserves of US$ 17.519 billion of the same period last year. Out of this SBP reserves were US$ 8.781 billion, where reserves held with commercial banks were US$ 6.941 billion. The PKR also remained under pressure during the year, as despite the decline in the current account gap, it stayed at a high level. Responding to the resulting payment pressures, the PKR depreciated by 14.1 percent against the US Dollar between July 1, 2018 and April 22, 2019. Public Debt Total public debt stood at Rs 28,607 billion at end of March 2019, recording an increase of Rs 3,655 billion during the first nine months of current fiscal year. The bifurcation of this increase is as follows: The cumulative increase in debt stock cannot be entirely attributed to the borrowing of the government. External loans are contracted in various currencies; however, disbursements are effectively converted into Pak Rupee. Thus, devaluation of Pak Rupee against international currencies can increase the value of external public debt portfolio when converted into Pak Rupee for reporting purposes. This is evident from the fact that increase in external public debt contributed Rs.1,900 billion to the public debt during first nine months of ongoing fiscal year while government borrowing for financing of fiscal deficit from external sources was Rs.524 billion during the said period. This differential was mainly on account of depreciation of Pak Rupee against US Dollar. It is worth noting that depreciation of Pak Rupee increases the rupee value of external public debt, however, any such negative impact is spread over many years depending on the life of any given loan and immediate cash flow impact is not significant. The domestic debt registered an increase of Rs.1,754 billion while government borrowing for financing of fiscal deficit from domestic sources was Rs.1,398 billion. This differential is mainly attributed to an increase in credit balances of the government with the banking system. Pakistan's public debt dynamics witnessed various developments during the ongoing fiscal year, some of them are highlighted below: Government introduced Pakistan Banao Certificates (PBC) which is a US Dollar denominated retail level instrument, for Pakistanis having bank accounts overseas. PBC is the first sovereign retail instrument being offered by Government of Pakistan that allows overseas Pakistanis to contribute towards their country’s development while providing attractive investment opportunity. Borrowing from commercial sources have relatively increased during the last few years, however, external public debt still largely comprises multilateral and bilateral sources which cumulatively constituted 78 percent of external public debt portfolio at end March 2019. These multilateral and bilateral loans are contracted at concessional terms. xi
  23. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Government has taken various measures to transform Central Directorate of National Savings from merely a retail debt raising arm of the government to an effective vehicle for financial inclusion . Initiatives are being taken to introduce Sharia Products, Overseas Pakistanis Savings Certificates, Rs.100,000 Premium Prize Bonds, Scrip-less Issuances, Registered Prize Bonds, Debit Cards & Membership of 1-Link System. In accordance with the Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (2015/16-2018/19), at end June 2018, three of the nine thresholds were breached by a range varying from 0.5 percent to 1.6 percent. The upper range for the risk indicator “Domestic Debt Maturing within a Year” was 65 percent while this indicator at end June 2018 was recorded at 66.3 percent. The banks opted to tilt their portfolio towards short term market treasury bills as expectation of a further rise in policy rate discouraged them to invest in long-term debt instruments, largely to manage market risk. The upper range for “Domestic Debt Re-Fixing in 1 Year” and “Public Debt Re-Fixing in 1 Year” was envisaged at 65 percent and 55 percent respectively, while these indicators stood at 66.6 percent and 55.5 percent respectively at end June 2018. Short term external public debt maturities were 80.6 percent of official liquid reserves at end June 2018 compared with 68.5 percent at end June 2013. During first nine month of current fiscal year, EDL recorded an increase of US$ 10.6 billion to stand at US$ 105.8 billion at end March 2019 out of which public debt was US$ 74.2 billion. External public debt increased by around US$ 3.9 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year compared with the increase of US$ 6.7 billion witnessed during the same period last year. Government is committed to achieve the targets outlined in Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation Act, 2005. Over the medium term, Government’s objective is to bring and maintain its Public Debt-to-GDP and Debt Service-to-Revenue ratios to sustainable levels through a combination of greater revenue mobilization, rationalization of current expenditure and efficient and productive utilization of debt. Education To achieve the Goal 4 of SDGs, the federal government is committed to work with provinces for allocation of more resources for education, decrease the number of out of school children (OOSC), reduce the dropout rates, bring uniformity in education standards and enhance access to vocational and skills training. The country wide school enrolments during 2017-18 were recorded at 50.616 million compared to 48.062 million during 2016-17. It improved by 5.31 percent and it is estimated to further increase by 4.8 percent to 53.032 million during 2018-19. The total numbers of the educational institutes were recorded at 260.6 thousand during 2017-18 as compared to 260.1 thousand during 2016-17. This number is estimated to increase by 1.60 percent to 264.7 thousand during 2018-19. The total numbers of teachers during 2017-18 were 1.753 million compared to 1.726 million during 2016-17 showing an increase of 1.6 percent. This number is estimated to increase by 2.85 percent to 1.803 million during the year 2018-19. According to Labour Force Survey 2017-18, literacy rate was estimated at 62.3 percent in 2017-18 as compared to 60.7 percent estimated in 2014-15. For males it increased from 71.6 percent to 72.5 percent and for females it increased from 49.6 percent to 51.8 percent. Area wise analysis suggests that literacy rate increased in both rural areas (51.9 percent to 53.3 percent) and urban areas (76.0 percent to 76.6 percent). Literacy rate increased in three provinces; Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 54.1 percent to 55.3 percent, Punjab from 61.9 percent to 64.7 percent and Balochistan from 54.3 percent to 55.5 percent while Sindh it decreased marginally from 63.0 percent to 62.2 percent. xii
  24. Overview of the Economy Public Expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP is estimated at 2 .4 percent in FY2018 as compared to 2.2 percent in FY2017. The education related expenditure increased by 18.6 percent to Rs 829.2 billion in FY2018 from Rs 699.2 billion in FY2017. The provincial governments are also spending sizeable amount of their Annual Development Plans (ADPs) on education. Punjab increased its expenditure in FY2018 to Rs 340.8 billion from Rs 260.6 billion in FY2017 showing an increase of 30.8 percent. Sindh increased its expenditure from Rs 146.7 billion in FY2017 to Rs 166.0 billion in FY2018 showing an increase of 13.16 percent. Similarly, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan also increased their expenditure on education from Rs 136.1 billion to Rs 142.6 billion and from Rs 47.7 billion to Rs 52.8 billion respectively during the corresponding period. Under the PSDP 2018-19, the government had initially allocated Rs. 35.829 billion to HEC for implementing 178 development projects (133 ongoing & 45 un-approved projects) of Public Sector universities. However, with rationalization of PSDP by Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform (PD&R), the size of the PSDP allocation was revised to Rs. 30.961 billion for only 136 ongoing development projects of Universities. These projects are; Construction of new academic buildings, Strengthening of ICT Infrastructure, Faculty Development, Procurement of Laboratory Equipment and other approved components. In addition to PSDP budget, a Technical Supplementary Grant of Rs. 0.503 billion for the project titled "Award of 3000 Scholarships to students from Afghanistan under the Prime Minister's Directive" has also been released to HEC. Under this scheme, the Government of Pakistan offers scholarships to 3000 Afghan students in various field including Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture, Management and Computer Sciences to create Pakistan's goodwill among the people of Afghanistan, to promote Human Resource Development for reconstruction of Afghanistan, to develop people to people contact between two neighbouring countries and to create excellent leadership qualities among Afghan Youth. Health and Nutrition Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination in collaboration with provincial governments, started a landmark and flagship health care and social protection initiative, the Sehat Sahulat Program (SSP). In the first phase, the program is being implemented in 38 districts of Pakistan covering 3.2 million families. Initially, In Sehat Sahulat Program each enrolled family will be insured upto Rs. 50,000/- per year for secondary care treatment and upto Rs. 250,000/- per year for 7 priority care treatment. Patients who have consumed their limits will be provided with additional limits by Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal. In phase-II of the Sehat Sahulat Program, benefit package of each enrolled family has been raised to Rs. 120,000/- per year for secondary care treatment and up to Rs. 600,000/- per year for 8 priority diseases/illnesses related treatment. Furthermore, SSP is a cashless scheme in which no cash assistance or cash transfers will be provided to the beneficiary except indoor health care services and a traveling allowance. Traveling allowance of Rs. 350/- per discharge, for a total of 3 discharges per year, from residence to hospital and back is provided to the beneficiaries. In Phase-II of SSP, enhanced transportation cost of Rs. 1,000 is being provided to beneficiaries upon discharge. As of 9th February 2019, a total of 3,237,660 families have been enrolled in the Sehat Sahulat Program and more than 117,726 families have been treated for various illnesses from 157 empanelled hospitals across Pakistan. Sehat Sahulat Program is being implemented through State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan, hired through an open and transparent bidding process. Services are delivered to the beneficiaries by empaneling secondary and tertiary level health care facilities, both at public and private sector, in all focused districts and metropolitan cities of the country. The hospital is being empanelled through the insurance company based on hospital empanelment criteria set forth in the program documents. xiii
  25. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Ministry of National Health Services Regulations & Coordination has initiated a strategy in January, 2019 to enhance efforts to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in any form in the country by urging all tobacco manufacturers to print new Pictorial Health Warning (PHW) on cigarette packs and outers. Cumulative health expenditures by federal and provincial governments during 2018-19 (July-March) increased to Rs 203.74 billion which is 3.29 percent higher than Rs.197.25 spent during the corresponding period of previous year. The current expenditure increased by 19.84 percent from Rs. 149.97 billion to Rs. 179.72 billion while development expenditure decreased by 49.19 percent from Rs.47.28 billion to Rs.24.03 billion. However, the break-up of expenditures among federal government and provincial governments demonstrates that during July-March FY2019, Federal and Punjab health expenditures decreased by 10.0 and 8.2 percent, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of the last year. On the other hand, health expenditures of Sindh, Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa increased by 22.2, 18.4 and 10.5 percent respectively, during the same period. As percentage of GDP, health expenditure has improved from 0.91 percent in 2016-17 to 0.97 percent in 2017-18. During FY 2018-19 (July-March) it has increased by 0.53 percent compared to 0.49 percent increase recorded during the corresponding period of last year. By the year 2018, the number of public sector hospitals has increased to 1,279. The number of Basic Health Units (BHUs) has increased to 5,527, that of Rural Health Centres (RHCs) to 686 and that of dispensaries to 5,671. The total number of registered doctors is 220,829, of registered dentists is 22,595 and that of registered nurses is 108,474. Population, Labour Force and Employment The population growth rate at 2.4 percent as depicted by the census 2017 is still very high. This shows that the efforts aimed to arrest high population growth have only brought modest success. The Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan, taking Family Planning as a human right issue, took Suo Moto Notice on 4th July 2018 and constituted a Task Force to frame clear, specific and actionable recommendations to address the issue of very high population growth. The Task Force, after a series of meetings, framed a set of recommendations aiming at enhancing contraceptive rate (CPR) to 55 percent, lowering total fertility rate (TFR) to 2.1 and bringing down population growth rate to 1.5 percent. On similar lines, the provincial governments have also formed their respective task forces which are headed by the Chief Ministers. The purpose is to have highest level commitment from the provinces so that a coordinated strategy is developed to tackle the population issue. Employment growth is a challenge for any developing, labour abundant economy. In the past the plans were designed to promote growth but less priority was given to employment generation. The present government has taken special initiatives to fulfil its commitment to create 10 million jobs during its term of five years. Private sector will play a key role in creation of jobs supported by the government. Naya Pakistan Housing Program, which is government’s initiative to provide affordable housing to low income groups targeting most vulnerable segment of our economy by constructing 10 million houses, has a potential to generate massive employment opportunities during next five years. Similarly, National Financial inclusion Strategy to promote SMEs and digitization of financial services will also create substantial employment opportunities. It is also estimated that investments in tourism will generate over half a million new direct and induced jobs over the next five years. For the youth, the government has launched a new program – the Kamyab Jawan Program. Over the next xiv
  26. Overview of the Economy 5 years , it is estimated that 138 thousand youth will benefit from KamyabJawan program, with banks disbursing a cumulative credit of Rs 200 billion. Transport and Communication NHA network comprises of 47 national highways, motorways, expressways and strategic roads with cumulative length of 12,743 km.

There are 08 new schemes as well in PSDP 2018-19 with total estimated cost of Rs. 8,561.00 million. On Eastern Alignment, as a short-term project, NHA in corroboration with CPEC is completing 3,005 Km length of roads on 17 different projects while on western alignment, as short to medium term projects, a total of 1,799 Km length of roads construction on 6 different projects is in progress and on central alignment, as medium to long term projects, a total of 626 Km length of roads on 3 segments are under study with indicated plan period of 2025-30. NHA has already constructed four segments of Pakistan Motorway Network i.e., Peshawar -Islamabad Motorway (M-1), Islamabad - Lahore Motorway (M-2), Lahore Abdul Hakeem Motorway (M-3) and Pindi Bhattian- Gojra Section and Khanewal - Multan Section of Motorway (M-4) on a virgin corridor. NHA is now constructing the remaining section of M-4 from Gojra - Khanewal. Work on Karachi - Hyderabad Motorway (M-9) on BOT basis is also substantially completed. After completing its current projects by December 2019, the total length of motorways will become 2,362.2 Km. CPEC is the flagship and most actively implemented project of Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) where Pakistan and China have successfully launched 22 projects on the ground, costing more than US$ 28.5 billion. Chinese and Pakistani workforce, in a large number, is employed to ensure timely completion of the infrastructure projects and launch new projects like ML-1, Eastbay Expressway and Airport at Gawadar. Pakistan and China are also executing Cross-border Fibre optic project (Khunjerab-Rawalpindi). Pakistan Railways comprises of 470 locomotives (458 Diesel Engine and 12 Steam Engines) for 7,791-kilometre length of route. During FY 2019(July -February), gross earnings grew by 10.3 percent to Rs 34,0661 million against Rs 30891.1 million during the same period last year.

A total of 1,139 ships called on Port, which comprised 371 Container ships and 768 Non-Container ships. Gawadar Port is the second greatest monument of Pak-China friendship after Karakoram Highway linking Pakistan and China. Gawadar has handled last year around 7.156 Metric Ton Cargo from 53 ships. The telecommunication market in Pakistan is open and deregulated, offering level playing field to operators. The Universal Services Fund Company (USF Co.) launched projects to provide telecommunication coverage to approximately 12,000 unserved mauzas with a population of around 15 million, across all provinces of Pakistan. In current fiscal year USF has successfully launched a project to provide coverage to the unserved segments, spanning 669 kms, on National Highway 10 and National Highway 25 (partially). There has been a consistent growth in IT&ITeS-BPO remittances over last 5 years, with 151 percent growth in IT&ITeS-BPO remittances at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent, the highest growth rate amongst all industries, and the highest in the region. Pakistan’s IT &ITeS-BPO exports are estimated to have crossed US $ 3.3 billion a year at present. In addition, export remittances earned by MSMEs and freelancers are estimated to be $500 million. Whereas annual domestic revenue exceeds $1 billion. A new state of the art IT Park in Islamabad is being established under financing from Korea Exim Bank through the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF), spreading over an area of 14.9 acres of land. The construction of IT Park will be undertaken in two phases. Cost estimate for first phase is USD 88.25 million for which loan agreement has been signed. It is expected that design and construction of IT Park will be completed by 2022. The cellular mobile sector has invested US $158.3 million during the first two quarters of FY 2018-19. By the end of March 2019, the total number of mobile subscriptions in Pakistan reached 159 million with the net addition of 8.8 million subscribers during July, 2018 to March 2019. Biometric re-verification of SIMs in 2014-15 had an adverse impact on the cellular subscriber base. The number of broadband subscriber addition during first nine months of 2018-19 stood at 10 million. PTA has generated over Rs. 209 billion during June 2013 to March 2019 through its levies, fee and other charges. Total number of registered TV sets holders as on 31st March, 2019 are 19,138,693. Pakistan Post has launched “The Same Day Delivery Services” to facilitate the delivery of packets and documents within the city.

During the first six months (July to December) of the current fiscal year 2018-19 Pakistan Post Office Department has received the foreign remittances amounting to Rs 4,256.478 million. Total number of Post Offices in Pakistan as on March 2019 are 10496. Energy The energy side bottlenecks have hampered the economic growth of the country in the past. In order to address the energy shortage, massive projects were incorporated in between years 2013-18, adding xvi
  28. Overview of the Economy a cumulative capacity of 12 ,230 MW. However, the transmission and distribution side congestion and inefficiencies has hampered the sustained delivery of energy services. Additionally, the higher energy prices are also a by-product of such aggressive capacity additions during 2013-18. In term of energy-mix, in FY2018, Pakistan’s reliance on oil has been reduced to 31.2 percent while reliance on gas has been reduced to 34.6 percent, while the share of hydel energy stood at 7.7 percent. Though the declining share of oil is a welcoming sign, the diminishing share of hydro represents the shortsightedness of policy as well as the inability of successive governments to undertake large capital-intensive projects in a timely manner. The reduction of natural gas share is somewhat attributed to declining natural gas reserves as well as restricted consumption of gas in the transport industry and the induction of LNG since 2015. The share of imported LNG has increased from 0.7 percent in FY2015 to 8.7 percent in FY2018. The share of renewable was at 1.1 percent in FY2018 while the share of nuclear has increased to 2.7 percent in FY2018. Such historical variability for each energy source in the energy mix of the country has been used to formulate the Integrated Energy Plan which will not only help in estimating the energy demands and respective supply paths for the future but also in formulating the evidence based long term policy options. The immediate focus of the government is to reduce the losses and increase the effectiveness of the whole value chain. Power Division, Ministry of Energy has given a target to DISCOs to recover PKR 80 billion from old receivables and to ensure that the receivable figures do not increase from the level recorded on 31st October 2018. Further, DISCOs have been given a target to recover another PKR 60 billion by controlling theft and improving governance and efficiency. As of end March 2019, total installed capacity of electricity reached 34,282 MW which was at 33,433 MW at end of March 2018, thus, posting a growth of 2.5 percent. Although electricity generation varies due to availability of inputs and other constraints, the generation increased from 82,011 GWh to 84,680 GWh, posting a growth of 2.1 percent during the period under discussion. As far as the share of different sources of electricity generation is concerned, it can be observed that the share of hydro in electricity generation has decreased over the last few decades. Availability of water is one of the main reason for reduced generation from hydel power plants. Currently, thermal has the largest share in electricity generation. Share of RLNG has shown a tremendous growth in energy mix as it served the demand of various power plants (Bhikki, Haveli Bahadur Shah, Balloki, Halmore, Orient, Rousch, KAPCO, Saif and Sapphire) as well as that of fertilizer plants and industrial and transport sector. The government has also shown its commitment for electricity generation through renewable energy sources. During July 2018 - March 2019, there was an increase of 1 percent in share of renewables in electricity generation, and it is expected that the share will further increase in coming years. Oil (Petroleum Product): Pakistan mainly depends upon oil and gas resources to fulfil energy requirements. The domestic production of crude oil remained at 24.6 million barrels during JulyMarch FY2019 compared to 21.8 million barrels during the corresponding period last year. Indigenous resources of oil are not enough to meet the requirements of a growing economy. As a result, Pakistan has to import large quantity of oil as well as oil-based products from Middle Eastern countries especially from Saudi Arabia. During July- March FY2019, the quantity of crude oil import remained at 6.6 million tons valuing US $ 3.4 billion compared to 7.8 million tons valuing US $ 2.9 billion during the same period last year. Natural Gas: At present, the capacity of two Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FRSU) to Re-gasify Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) is 1200 MMCFD and accordingly RLNG is being xvii
  29. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 imported to mitigate gas demand-supply shortfall . The average natural gas consumption was about 3,865 Million Cubic Feet per day (MMCFD) including 785 MMCFD volume of RLNG during July 2018 to February 2019. During July – Feb FY2019, the two Gas utility companies (SNGPL & SSGCL) have laid 69 Km Gas Transmission network, 3,232 Km Distribution and 1,366 Km Services lines and connected 165 villages/towns to gas network. During this period, 428,305 additional gas connections including 425,404 domestic, 2,770 commercial and 131 industrial were provided across the country. It is the focus of the government to provide sustainable energy for all. Furthermore, improvement in access to energy and off grid solutions will be provided under the new renewable energy policy. For the sustainable provision of such services, market forces and policy options need to be harmonized. As far as market forces are concerned, business models of energy services companies (ESCO) and sustainable energy utility (SEU) should be developed and incentivized. Such market forces should be encouraged since it will provide jobs to the work force. Social Protection The government dissects pro-poor expenditure in different sectors through the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) under PRSP-II program. Expenditure on these pro-poor sectors has shown an increasing trend in absolute terms as well as percentage of GDP. Expenditure on these sectors increased from Rs. 1,934.2 billion in FY 2014 which was 7.7 percent of GDP to Rs. 3,167.92 billion in FY 2018 which is 9.2 percent of GDP. The social safety nets are major initiatives to reinforce the government’s efforts to reduce the adverse effects of poverty on the poor. Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), a flagship program of the government has made a remarkable progress by providing cash transfers to over 5.8 million beneficiaries. The quarterly cash grant has gradually been enhanced by the successive governments which currently stands at Rs. 5000/- per quarter per eligible beneficiary. Since inception, BISP has disbursed Rs 691.5 billion as cash transfers. BISP is following the path of automation and 98.5 percent of beneficiaries are being paid through technology-based payment mechanisms. Under Waseela-e-Taleem program, 3.1 million children have been enrolled so far and an amount of Rs. 9.8 billion has been disbursed. Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF) also helps in micro-credit, water, health, education, livelihood. Since its inception in April 2000 uptill March 2019, PPAF has disbursed an amount of approximately Rs. 222.037 billion to its Partner Organizations (POs) in 137 districts across the country. The overall disbursements for core operations during July 2018 to March, 2019 amounted to Rs 756 million. Pakistan Baitul Mal (PBM) is also making a significant contribution towards poverty reduction by providing financial assistance to destitute, widows, orphans, invalid, infirm and other needy persons irrespective of their gender, cast, creed and religion through its establishments at the district level. During July to March FY2019, PBM has disbursed an amount of Rs 2.562 billion through its core projects. Workers Welfare Fund (WWF) is providing various services in the areas of housing, health and education to the industrial workers and financial assistance is also being extended in the form of death grant, marriage grant and scholarships. During July-March, FY2019 expenditures amounting to Rs 468.273 million have been incurred on 3,992 scholarships while Rs 1,985.38 million has been disbursed as Marriage Grant (@100,000/-) which benefitted 19,854 workers’ families. WWF has also disbursed Rs 1,597.55 million as Death Grant (@500,000/-) to 3,195 families all over the country. xviii
  30. Overview of the Economy Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) provides monetary benefits to the old age workers through various programs such as the Old-Age Pension, Invalidity Pension, Survivors Pension and Old-Age Grants. During July-March 2018-19, Rs. 23.30 billion has been disbursed to 401,940 beneficiaries. Climate Change Changing pattern of climate has emerged as one of the biggest environmental challenges, which is affecting almost all the sectors of economy particularly water resources, energy, health, biodiversity, with a major impact on agricultural productivity. In view of Pakistan’s high vulnerability to the adverse impact of climate change, the current government is committed to meet this challenge and the Prime Minister has constituted “Prime Minister’s Committee on Climate Change” to provide high level strategic guidance and platform for coordinated efforts on the issues of climate change. Federal Forestry Board (FFB) has also been revived to rehabilitate forests and forest cover in the country. Ministry of climate change has adopted a comprehensive approach on the disaster risk reduction and management. The present government has launched Ten Billion Trees Tsunami Program (TBTTP), to revive forestry and to improve watershed management and soil conservation to combat the negative impacts of climate change. The government has also introduced climate budget coding and expenditure tracking system. This initiative has become a solid conduit for mainstreaming the climate change finance and will improve transparency in public investments. The monitoring of the expenditure will also give confidence to the international development partners in tracking expenditure under different funding streams to ensure that the finances are spent on the intended objectives. xix

  32. CHAPTER 1 Growth and Investment The growth momentum of the Pakistani economy , at 5.5 percent in FY2018 (with an average growth rate of 4.7 percent for period FY 2014-2018), became unsustainable due to rising macroeconomic imbalances i.e. high and increasing fiscal and current account deficits. The twin deficits always persisted in the Pakistani economy, however, in FY2018 trade deficit was historically high both in monetary value ($ 32 billion) and as a percent of GDP (10.1 percent), while the fiscal deficit reached 6.5 percent of GDP. The contained inflation and maintained exchange rate accelerated the growth in domestic demand. High consumption expenditure and government spending in turn led to massive surge in imports. Some of required adjustments on fiscal accounts and exchange rate were delayed in FY2018 being an election year, that resulted in depletion of foreign reserves and increase in monetary borrowing. As such, there was an urgent need to address these growing imbalances, particularly in external accounts, by taking strong measures to curb the growth of money supply and realign exchange rate to market conditions. These measures will have an adverse short term effect on the fiscal imbalances and there would be a need to address them in coming days and months. Moreover, over time, the government would have to make concerted efforts to tackle structural weaknesses in the economy side to avoid a repeat of similar crises in future, and ensure a sustainable growth path for the economy. Looking back at FY2017-18, while the macroeconomic imbalances continue to rise, required adjustments could not be undertaken until August, as the caretaker government, which was in place for first two months of FY2019, was not mandated to take major economic retransformation. On August 18, 2018, the present government took office and started tackling the challenge of stabilizing the economy primarily by managing the aggregate demand and addressing the deep-rooted structural problems. They took difficult decisions in reducing the overvaluation of exchange rate and aligned it to the market value-based exchange rate; increased policy interest rate and energy prices which were kept subdued since last year. The government also achieved considerable success in mobilizing additional financing from friendly countries in the form of short- to medium-term loans, deferred payment on imported oil and temporary deposits in the central banks. Saudi Arabia provided a US$ 6 billion assistance package – US3 billion in short loan and US$ 3 billion in the shape of deferred payment on oil imports. Similarly, the UAE government provided US$ 1 billion, whereas China has given US$ 2.2 billion. These measures and inflows have strengthened Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves and reduced external vulnerabilities to some extent. However, despite some of these positive measures, growing tensions between India and Pakistan in February 2019, had a short term adverse impact on business sentiments and investments in the country. International agencies revised downward their projections of economic growth in Pakistan. For example, the IMF has lowered its projection for economic growth in Pakistan in FY2018-19 to below 3 percent, partly due to government demand containing adjustments and partly because of the negative effects of tariff increases enacted in the United States and China earlier in the year. In view of these above mentioned factors, GDP growth in FY2018-19 remain subdued. However, as some results of the stabilization process have already started to materialize, particularly on external front, there has been a sharp reduction in the current account deficit1. It is expected that combination of 1 An improvement of 27 percent in a year-on-year comparison for Jul-Apr FY19 and FY18, primarily driven by an increase in remittances and fall in imports.
  33. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 adjustments and reforms measures initiated by the government , the economy will attain a more stable and robust growth momentum in coming years. Pakistan Economic Growth and Global Perspective Although domestically the government was following stabilization process, however globally, rising trade tensions posed a risk to the global growth outlook in FY 2019. After a strong growth in 2017 and early 2018, global economic activity slowed noticeably in the second half of last year, reflecting a confluence of factors affecting major economies. This is the reason IMF has revised downward real GDP growth for almost all countries in World Economic Outlook, April 2019 for FY2019 (Table 1). Table 1: Change in Real GDP growth rate forecast April 2018 – April 2019 Table-:Real GDP Growth Rates (% ) WEO, April 2018 Group / Country Name 2018 WEO, Oct 2018 2019 2018 WEO, April 2019 2019 2018 2019 World 3.9 3.9 3.7 3.7 3.6 3.3 Euro area 2.4 2.0 2 1.9 1.8 1.5 United States 2.9 2.7 2.9 2.7 2.3 1.9 Japan 1.2 0.9 1.1 0.9 1.0 0.9 Other Advanced Economies 2.4 2.3 2.4 2.2 2.2 1.9 Emerging Market and Developing Economies 4.9 5.1 4.7 4.8 4.5 4.4 Indonesia 5.3 5.5 5.1 5.1 5.2 5.2 Thailand 3.9 3.8 4.6 3.9 4.1 3.5 Malaysia 5.3 5.0 4.7 4.6 4.7 4.7 Philippines 6.7 6.8 6.5 6.6 6.2 6.5 Forecast ASEAN SOUTH ASIA India 7.4 7.8 7.3 7.4 7.1 7.3 Bangladesh 7.0 7.0 7.3 7.1 7.7 7.3 Sri Lanka 4.0 4.5 3.7 4.3 3.0 3.5 Pakistan 5.6 4.7 5.8 4.0 5.2 2.9 Saudi Arabia 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.4 2.2 1.8 Kuwait 1.3 3.8 2.3 4.1 1.7 2.5 Islamic Republic of Iran 4.0 4.0 -1.5 -3.6 -3.9 -6.0 United Arab Emirates 2.0 3.0 2.9 3.7 1.7 2.8 Turkey 4.4 4.0 3.5 0.4 2.6 -2.5 MIDDLE EAST AFRICA Morocco 3.1 4.0 3.2 3.2 3.1 3.2 South Africa 1.5 1.7 0.8 1.4 0.8 1.2 Kenya 5.5 6.0 6.0 6.1 6.0 5.8 Tanzania 6.4 6.6 5.8 6.6 6.6 4.0 Source: International Monetary Fund, World Economic O utlook Database, April 2018, O ct 2018, April 2019 Growth in the United States, bolstered by fiscal stimuli, has continues to be robust. China’s growth declined following a combination of needed regulatory tightening to rein in shadow banking and an increase in trade tensions with the United States. In the Euro Region, economic activity remained somewhat weaker during the current fiscal year owing to slowing net exports, while growth in advanced economies is estimated to have decelerated slightly (to 2.2 percent). Elsewhere, natural disasters hurt activity in Japan. Trade tensions increasingly took a toll on business confidence thus financial market sentiment worsened, with financial conditions tightening for vulnerable emerging 2
  34. Growth and Investment markets in the spring of 2018 and then in advanced economies later in the year , weighing on global demand. According to World Bank report January 2019, “Global Economic Perspective”, South Asia growth is expected to accelerate to 7.1 percent in 2019, underpinned by strengthening investment and robust consumption. While domestic demand continues to be the main driver of growth across the region and the cyclical upturn in the exports performance is encouraging, the region needs to redouble its policy efforts towards strengthening its international competitiveness. In fact, South Asia is lagging on several competitiveness indicators, such as attracting foreign investments, penetrating new markets and diversifying and upgrading its exports products. In addition, trade openness and regional integration remains limited. Further, global foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows declined sharply in 2018, following a 23 percent decrease in 2017 from the previous year, to $1.43 trillion, with a 41 percent estimated decrease in the first half of 2018 according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report published in January 2019. The decline was largely concentrated in developed countries and was mainly due to large repatriations of foreign earnings from affiliates of foreign investors from the United States of America following tax reforms implemented by the Government of the United States. However, in external trade, for South Asia region, the performance of exports is gradually picking-up in several economies. Further, the outlook for demand from major destinations, such as the United States and the EU, remains positive. This weak international scenario, has also effected foreign direct investment in Pakistan as well as country’s exports. During July-April FY2019, foreign direct investment dropped by 51.7 percent and foreign private investment also declined by 64.3 percent. Pakistan’s exports have been on a declining trend since FY2013. Overall export posted a negative growth in each of three consecutive years (FY2014 – FY2016) and was almost stagnant in FY2017. In FY2018, export grew by 12.5 percent over the level of previous year as exchange rate was adjusted by an aggregate of 14.2 percent during the year.2 However, compared to FY2013 level, export was still lower by 0.12 percent. In FY2019, the positive trend in exports continued in the first quarter of the fiscal year as exports were 4.2 percent higher than the first quarter of FY2018. However, with economy in general and manufacturing sector in particular slowing down under the weight of economic adjustment, export started to decline. During the first nine months of FY2019, export posted an overall decline of 1.9 percent over the same period of FY2018. During the said period, imports declined by 4.9 percent, whereas growth in imports was positive during first two quarters of the fiscal year. A detailed exercise by SBP and Ministry of Commerce has been carried out to identify the tariffs which are high and adversely effects the exports and domestic production, so that the large and small scale industries be uplifted. Other mentionable step is the establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The government is trying to remove the anomalies and giving tax incentives/exemptions to facilitate the local and foreign investors. Box-1: Development of the Special Economic Zones Development of the Special Economic Zones is one of the main gains from CPEC. It is a driving force for economic growth and taking the fruits of CPEC to the lesser developed regions of Pakistan. The aim is the transformation of trade corridors into Economic Corridors. After implementation of the early harvest projects, the ground is set to generate positive socio-economic impacts of CPEC by enhancing Industrial Collaboration. This will help create efficient and competitive industrial clusters to attract investment and to diversify exports. Chinese SMEs and Start-ups are quite capable and very keen to come and invest in Pakistan. Pakistani Business community is eager to fully maximize benefits from this opportunity. There is huge potential for cooperation in the fields of engineering, automotive industry, information technology, chemicals, construction materials, textiles, agro-based industry, fisheries, marbles, small and medium enterprises particularly cottage 2 The depreciation of rupee happened in three installments of almost 4.5 percent each in December 2017, April and June 2018. 3
  35. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 industries . Under CPEC, 9 sites have been identified for developing special economic zones. Pakistan’s side has prepared feasibilities and bankable documents to develop these SEZs in line with the modern trends, taking input from the Chinese development model. Government of Pakistan has already announced a comprehensive and a business-friendly incentive package aimed at up-scaling investors’ relations with China and other nations, to promote the industry and employment; strengthen and form new industry clusters as well as promote exports of goods and services. Focused efforts are underway to populate these industrial zones either through investment in building infrastructure or relocation of industry. This sector encourages joint ventures in order to establish win-win platforms for Pakistani, Chinese and other foreign businessmen. It is estimated that this sector will create up to 800,000 jobs for the local population. Overall, the Industrial cooperation will support:  Improve ease of doing business  Skills development, transfer of technology and expansion of industrial base  Facilitate Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)  Develop Special Economic Zones  Joint marketing and branding  Formulate and refine development plans of relevant industries  Chinese government to encourage Chinese companies to make more local procurements including raw materials and services CPEC Proposed Special Economic Zones (SEZs) S.

To break the cycle of recurring instability, the present government has designed a roadmap for stability, growth and productive employment. In short term, sharp adjustment and infusion of external financing will be needed while in medium term planned structural reform particularly focusing on export competiveness, re-establishing fiscal stability and improving governance in key utilities and SOE’s will be implemented. Box 2: A Roadmap For Stability, Growth And Productive Employment * Stabilization Measures Structural Reform i. Lowering the revenue-expenditure gap • Exchange rate Adjustment (19 percent devaluation since Jul 2018) • Policy and administration reforms to improve revenue collection • Increase in policy rate (575 bps since July 2018) • Streamlining government expenditure ii. Narrowing the exports -imports gap • Bilateral Deposits iii. Bridging the saving-investment gap • Additional financing through Pakistan Banao iv. Enhancing Ease of Doing Business Certificates v. Protecting the Poor and the vulnerable vi. Governance Reforms Job Creation Initiatives of Current Government Target is to create 10 million jobs in five years. Private sector will play a key role in creation of jobs supported 4
  36. Growth and Investment by the government . The key areas are: Naya Pakistan Housing Program, which is government’s initiative to provide affordable housing targeting most vulnerable segment of our economy by building 10 million houses, has a potential to create 11.9 million jobs during next five years. Similarly, 10 Billion Tree Tsunami-government’s countrywide tree plantation program, National Financial inclusion Strategy-to promote SMEs and digitization of financial services. It is estimated that investments in tourism can generate over half a million new direct and induced jobs over the next five years therefore the government is giving prime importance to tourism. Development of tourism requires crossdepartmental/cross-agency coordination to meet, in a consistent manner. Thus, for connectivity and transport, local government support is required for proper land use, municipal services, policing etc. Further to maintain a balance between pro-consumer and pro-business regulations, both provision of quality services as well as promotion of investment will be ensured. Thus, federal ministry and provincial tourism departments’ capacity and mandate will be strengthened to perform these tasks. For the youth, the government has launched a new program – the Kamyab Jawan Program. Under this program, the National Bank of Pakistan, Bank of Punjab and Bank of Khyber will provide low cost loans to the youth (agreed between 21 – 45 years) for establishing of small businesses enterprises. These loans will be classified in three tiers. Tier I: Loans between Rs 100,000 and 0.5 million, with a debt-equity ratio 90:10 at interest rate of 6 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 500 bps. Tier II: Loans between Rs 0.5 and 10 million; with a debt equity ratio of 80:20 and carrying an interest rate of 8 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 400 bps. Tier III: Loans between Rs 10 and 25 million; with a debt equity ratio defined by bank’s lending policy; and carrying an interest rate of 9 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 400 bps. Over the next 5 years, it is estimated, that 138 thousand youth will benefit from Kamyab Jawan program, with banks disbursing a cumulative sum of Rs 200 billion and interventions in tourism industry will create approximately 0.4 million, 3 million, and 0.6 million jobs respectively, cumulatively leading to creation of 14 million new jobs in next five years. Power Sector Reforms The electricity sector needs to overcome some key issues, including price distortions, insufficient collections, costly and poorly targeted subsidies, governance and regulatory deficiencies, low efficiency in energy supply and distribution. The Government has started working on a new electricity policy. This policy will be a major update and expansion of the existing policy approved in July 2013. In parallel the renewable energy policy is being updated to clearly quantify and qualify the renewable energy share and addition to the national grid. As short-term measures in Power sector reform is bringing tariffs to cost recovery level, along with costcutting and efficiency measures to reach full cost recovery in the electricity sector along-with tariff adjustments to stop the buildup of circular debt. The notification of National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) determined tariffs for FY 2018 has been done on January 01, 2019. This notification i.e. (11 percent increase) will ensure recovery of PKR. 1,465 billion out of determined revenue requirement (RR) of PKR. 1,611 billion by NEPRA for the future tariff period of twelve months, including subsidies for the sector. Further Industrial support package of Rs. 3 / unit has been announced by the Government to ensure competitiveness of local industry. To eliminate flow and buildup of circular debt beyond FY 2018-19, elements contributing individually to the buildup of CD will be addressed. These will include; i. Attaining recovery level as determined by NEPRA; ii. Meeting the losses determined by NEPRA; iii. Budgeting of subsidies and creating revenue stream for other subsides; iv. One of the key elements is an automaticity in quarterly adjustments. *: Detail Document is available on: http://www.finance.gov.pk/A_Roadmap_for_Stability_and_Growth_April_8.pdf 5
  37. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Right from August 2018 , it is the endeavor of the present government to take stabilization measures with a view to overcome the economic imbalance but also to contribute towards structural reforms. The trade-off between the two is recognized explicitly and the phasing and design of policy interventions are aimed at social cost minimization in the short run and growth maximization in the medium run. The recent staff level agreement with IMF is expected to rebuild the confidence of local and foreign investors in Pakistani economy. Addressing Saving – Investment Gap In FY2018, there was rise in consumption both by private sector and general government because of contained inflation and maintained exchange rate. Considering both goods and services, imports increased to US$ 68 billion in FY2018, whereas the exports remained US$ 30 billion. Consequently, the trade deficit ballooned to US$ 37.9 billion. The problem of this large increase in trade deficit was compounded by a flattening of workers’ remittances at about US$ 19.9 billion. As a result, the current account deficit (CAD) which is by definition Saving-Investment gap3 soared to US$ 19.9 billion in FY2018 thus leading to an outflow of US$ 8 billion from SBP reserves. The government made a sizeable adjustment in the interest and exchange rates to contain the aggregate demand and ease the pressure on the balance of payments. These efforts helped in reducing Saving-Investment gap, which has been contained by 27 percent (Fig-1) during July-April FY 2019 compared to 70 percent expansion during same period last year. It happened mainly because, trade deficit declined by 7 percent while last year it recorded 23 percent growth primarily due to containment in imports. Imports declined by 5 percent while workers’ remittances posted significant growth of 9 percent during the period under discussion.

Historically, Pakistan’s economic growth is characterized as consumption-led growth and this is true for decades. In fact, the dominant part of 3 By definition, savings are part of income not consumed. These are measured indirectly through national income identities by Planning Commission, which uses information about investment estimated by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics; and current account deficit compiled by SBP. Given the data for investment and current account balance, National Savings are worked out as a residual from the identity, which says “savings and investment gap is always equal to the current account balance”. 6
  38. Growth and Investment the recent increase in economic growth is attributable to a boom in consumption . Even in FY2019, increase in inflation and borrowing costs amid depreciation of PKR seems not to alter much consumption patterns in the country and its share in GDP had risen to 94.8 percent almost the same level as similar to last year (94.2 percent). The share of Public Consumption in the GDP increased to 12.6 percent during FY2019 from 11.7 percent in FY2018 while the share of Private Consumption in the GDP remained almost stagnant at 82 percent. One reason of high consumption pattern is less saving opportunities because consumers find no incentive to divert resources away from consumption towards saving. Further, high rate of population growth keeps the age dependency ratio high which continues to expand consumption at the expense of saving. The high consumption thus leading to very low domestic saving while as a percent of GDP, domestic saving is also falling. Domestic saving in FY2019 remained at 4.2 percent of GDP much lower than the level achieved in FY2004 where it was 15.6 percent of GDP. The other worrisome point is that the savings are parked in real estate and abroad, thus are poorly leveraged to finance investment and economic growth. Thus the most important factor behind inadequate level of investment is the low level of saving. As mentioned above, government’s stabilization measures have started to take effect, as public and private investments both contracted as a percentage of GDP (a 5 percentage point in Private investment and 8 percentage point in Public including general government investment). In FY 2019, Private Investment as percentage of GDP dropped to 9.8 percent from 10.3 percent in FY2018 while Public including General Government investment also slowed down to 4.0 percent from 4.8 percent during the period under discussion. The fall in Public investment, including general government investment, is mainly due to squeezing PSDP spending.

Nonetheless, in the first 10 months of FY2019, private sector borrowing was up to Rs. 587.6 billion, against the borrowing of Rs. 532.6 billion in the comparable period last year. On average, it has posted growth of 9.8 percent during the period under discussion in FY2019 against the growth of 10.2 percent in the comparable period of FY2018. Whereas on Y-o-Y basis, it has shown a growth of 14.5 percent as on 03rd May, FY2019. As for the financing categories, the 7
  39. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 activity in working capital loans was more prominent due to rising commodity prices and input costs which increased the financing requirements of the corporate sector . The provisional estimates of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) for the year FY2019 stands at Rs.5,340.0 billion and posted a growth of 1.9 percent when compared to FY2019. In private sector, the GFCF is estimated at Rs.3,796.1 billion during FY2019 against Rs.3,564.0 billion in FY2018 with an increase of 6.5 percent while, in Public Sector GFCF posted a growth of 9.8 percent as it is estimated at Rs.345.3 billion during FY2019 against Rs.314.6 billion during FY2018. Estimates of GFCF in the General Government sector are based on budgetary data of federal, provincial and districts governments. The budgeted data is used in the first year which is subject to changes on the basis of actual and reconciled expenditure by various tiers of government in subsequent year. The provisional overall GFCF for general government services for FY2019 has been estimated at Rs.1198.5 billion, a decline of 12 percent over the revised estimates of Rs.1362.3 billion during FY2018. GFCF related expenditure for the federal government has been estimated at Rs.419.8 billion with growth of 15.6 percent over previous year's estimates of Rs.362.3 billion. However, GFCF related expenditure by provincial governments has declined by 29.2 percent from Rs.909.1 billion to Rs.643.8 billion. Moreover, expenditure on GFCF incurred by district governments has increased by 48.4 percent from Rs.90.9 billion to Rs.135.0 billion. As mentioned above, consumption continued to drive economic growth and its contribution of 99.6 percent to the GDP growth while investment has contributed 4.1 percent. Thus consumption and investment together contributed 103.7 percent to the GDP growth, which was neutralized by negative contribution by net exports to the extent of 3.7 percent. The contribution of net exports has traditionally been negative for the most part of our history.

However, as per balance of payment, during July-April FY2019, there was 18.6 percent decline import of services in dollar term as it declined to $ 7.7 billion compared to $ 9.4 billion during July-April FY 2018 while imports of goods declined to 4.9 percent during the period under discussion. 8

The prime reason being that PBS follow the production approach for measuring GDP in accordance with System of National Accounts guidelines. Thus for measuring GDP through expenditure approach, public collective consumption, capital formation and exports minus imports) are calculated independently. However, the biggest summand (private consumption) is calculated as residual. This could be another reason of low national savings as it will be outcome of identity (S = Y - C). Thus, for the purpose of GDP estimation by activities (current & constant prices), the production approach is applied by PBS. Though, for some activities, especially for nonmarket activities, output is measured as the sum of primary incomes (GVA) and intermediate consumption. Therefore, it is also important to make sectoral growth analysis while discussing GDP from production side. Sectoral Growth Analysis – Production Side The provisional GDP growth rate for FY2019 is estimated at 3.3 percent on the basis of 0.9, 1.4 and 4.7 percent growth in agricultural, industrial and services sectors respectively. For FY2019, Commodity Producing Sectors has been again overshadowed by growth in the Services sector which contributed 2.9 percentage points or 86.4 G percent while Commodity Producing Sectors contributed to only 0.4 percentage points to overall growth. Agricultural Sector: The agriculture sector grew by 0.85 percent. The crops sector has witnessed negative growth of 4.4 percent during FY2019 mainly due to negative growth (-6.6 percent) in important crops due to decline in production of cotton, rice and sugarcane. Production of cotton, rice and sugarcane declined by 17.5, 3.3, and 19.4 percent, respectively. Among the important crops, wheat output posted a marginal positive growth of 0.5 percent while production of maize was higher by 6.9 percent. Other crops have shown growth of 1.95 percent mainly because of increase in production of pulses and oil seeds. Decrease in production of cotton crop also caused decline in Cotton ginning by 12.7 percent. Livestock sector has shown a growth of 4.0 percent while the growth of forestry remained at 6.47 percent due to increase in production of timber in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 26.7 to 36.1 thousand cubic meters. Industrial Sector: During FY2019, the provisional growth in industrial sector has been estimated at 1.40 percent mainly because of decline in growth to 2.06 in large scale manufacturing sector percent 9
  41. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 while mining and quarrying sector has witnessed a negative growth of 1 .96 percent. The mining and quarrying sector growth declined due to negative growth in natural gas (-1.98 percent) and coal (25.4 percent). However, the decline in large scale manufacturing sector growth is based on QIM data (from July 2017 to February 2018) which shows that major decline has been observed in Textile (0.27 percent), Food, Beverage & Tobacco (-1.55 percent), Coke & Petroleum Products (-5.50 percent), Pharmaceuticals (-8.67 percent), Chemicals (-3.92 percent), Non-Metallic Mineral Products (-3.87 percent), Automobiles (-6.11 percent) and Iron & Steel products (-10.26 percent). The major positive growth in LSM has been observed in Electronics (34.63 percent), Engineering Products (8.63 percent) and Wood Products (17.84 percent). Electricity and gas sub sector grew by 40.54 percent. The main reason of this abrupt growth is due to 48.4 percent growth in expenditures at current prices on Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Electricity Generation & Distribution and Gas Distribution sector last year. During FY2018 these remained Rs.243 billion against Rs.164 billion during FY2017. Further in Private sector, 335 percent growth was observed in expenditures at current prices on Gross Fixed Capital Formation for Electricity Generation & Distribution and Gas Distribution sector for FY2018 while that for public sector remained 14.6 percent. The construction activity has decreased by 7.57 percent due to conservative construction-related expenditure reported in rest of the economic activities. Services Sector: Provisional estimates has shown that the services sector posted a growth 4.71 percent during FY2019. Wholesale and Retail Trade sector grew at a rate of 3.11 percent. As value added in this sector depends upon output of agriculture and manufacturing sectors and volume of imports, it is safe to say that bulk of growth in wholesale and retail sector could be attributed to increase in volume of imports and the growth in livestock. Transport, Storage and Communication sector has registered a growth of 3.34 percent due to positive contribution of Railways (38.93 percent), Air transport (3.38 percent) and Road Transport (3.85 percent). Finance and insurance sector showed an overall increase of 5.14 percent, despite a decline (of 12.5 percent) in value add of the central bank, as scheduled banks, non-scheduled banks and insurance sub-sector posted positive growth (5.3 percent, 24.6 percent and 12.8 percent, respectively). The Housing Services grew by 4.0 percent and the General Government Services by 7.99 percent. It is mainly driven by the increase in salaries of federal, provincial and district governments. Other private services, which is composed of various distinct activities such as computer related activities, event management, education, health & social work, NGOs etc. has contributed positively 7.05 percent. Way Forward The present government has made significant measures to curb aggregate demand that has compounded the size of external current account deficit to an unprecedented level. During FY2019, the economy felt partial adjustments due to inertia as evident from still high consumption to GDP ratio and fiscal deficit. Irrespective of direction of cause, historically, there is significant relationship between trade deficit and budget deficit. Policy maker thus make the stand that by limiting fiscal deficit, trade deficit can be controlled. Thus optimum fiscal strategy will make tariff adjustments accordingly to stop the growth of quasi-fiscal deficits along with generating the revenue resources. The economy, therefore, still need strict stabilization policies along with extensive structural reforms even without IMF program. However, after entering IMF’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) (US$6 billion), not only an ease in requisite external financing will be provided, but also market confidence will be strengthened and additional financial support from other development and bilateral partners which will further support the stability and moving toward high and inclusive growth. 10
  42. CHAPTER 2 Agriculture Agriculture contributes 18 .5 percent to country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides 38.5 percent employment to national labour force but it remains backward sector of the economy while high performing agriculture is a key to economic growth and poverty alleviation. Over the last decade, the performance of agriculture sector has fallen short of desirable level, mainly because of stagnant productivity of all important crops. Cropped area of the five traditional crops has also largely remained unchanged. Climate change also poses a serious challenge to Pakistan’s agriculture and threatens country’s water availability and food security. The government is trying its best to help the farmers by providing agriculture inputs at affordable prices and ensuring better prices of their produce. To guarantee food security, it is necessary to enhance domestic agricultural production through increased productivity (increasing per acre yield). Although Pakistan has rich production potential in agriculture, livestock and fisheries, yet for sustainable economic growth and prosperity, the development of these sectors on long-term basis is of fundamental importance for country’s growth and prosperity. This calls for efficient utilization of production resources by adopting modern technologies and establishment of realistic marketing system. The Prime Minister’s taskforce on agriculture has taken a holistic view of the issues faced by the agriculture sector and has made some sound recommendations for improving productivity of agriculture sector. Prime Minister’s Agriculture Emergency Program The present government’s resolution is to enhance agriculture productivity. In this connection Prime Minister’s Agriculture Emergency Program has been initiated which primarily focused on: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. x.

The projects would be funded from PSDP at the federal level with a major share of the provinces who will fund these projects from their respective Annual Development Program (ADP). Agriculture Performance during 2018-19 The performance of Agriculture during 2018-19 remained subdued. On the aggregate, the sector grew by 0.85 percent, much lower than the target of 3.8 percent set at the beginning of the year. This under-performance of agriculture sector was mainly due to insufficient availability of water which led to a drop in cultivated area and a drop in fertilizer offtake. The crops sector experienced a negative growth (-4.43 percent against the target of 3.6 percent) on the back of decline in growth of important crops by (-6.55) percent. Sugarcane production declined by (-19.4) percent to 67.174 million tons, Cotton (-17.5 percent) to 9.861 million bales and Rice (-3.3 percent) to 7.202 million tonnes while production of Maize crop increased by 6.9 percent to 6.309 million tonnes and Wheat growth was marginally higher (by 0.5 percent) to reach 25.195 million tonnes. Other crops having a share of 11.21 percent in agriculture value addition and 2.08 percent in GDP, showed growth of 1.95 percent mainly due to increase in production of pulses and oilseeds. Cotton ginning declined by -12.74 percent due to decrease in production of cotton crop. Livestock having share of 60.54 percent in agriculture and 11.22 percent in GDP, maintained the growth at 4.0 percent against the target of 3.8 percent. The Fishing sector having share of 2.10 percent in agriculture value addition (and 0.39 percent in GDP), grew by 0.79 percent, while Forestry sector having share of 2.10 percent in agriculture (and 0.39 percent in GDP) grew by 6.47 percent due to increase in timber production in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (by 26.7 percent to 36.1 thousand cubic meters). (Table 2.1). Pakistan has two cropping seasons, "Kharif" being the first sowing season starting from April-June and is harvested during October-December. Rice, sugarcane, cotton, maize, moong, mash, bajra and jowar are “Kharif" crops. "Rabi", the second sowing season, begins in October-December and is 14
  46. Agriculture harvested in April-May . Wheat, gram, lentil (masoor), tobacco, rapseed, barley and mustard are "Rabi" crops. Pakistan’s agricultural productivity is dependent upon the timely availability of water.

It has a 0.8 percent share in GDP and 13960 contributes 4.5 percent in agriculture value 14000 addition. Cotton crop faces significant challenges vis-à-vis competing crops especially sugarcane. 13000 Most important being unfavourable international 11946 prices. During 2018-19, cotton production 12000 remained moderate at 9.861 million bales, a decrease of 17.5 percent over the last year’s 10671 11000 production of 11.946 million bales, and 31.5 9917 9861 percent against the target of 14.4 million bales. 10000 This below expectation performance of the cotton crop was largely due to contraction in the 9000 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 cultivated area on account of less economic (P) incentive to the farmers by 12.1 percent to 2,373 Source: PBS thousand hectares compared to last year’s area of 2,700 thousand hectares (see Table 2.4 and Figure 2.1). The production was also affected by unfavourable weather conditions, particularly the prolonged hot and dry weather that prevailed in the country. In addition, stunting of crop, attack of whitefly, pink bollworm and other pests/insects also hampered crop output.

  48. Agriculture ii ) Sugarcane Sugarcane is high value cash crop. Its production Fig 2.2: Sugarcane Production (000 Tonnes) accounts for 2.9 percent in agriculture’s value 83333 addition and 0.5 percent of overall GDP. During 84000 2018-19, sugarcane crop production was lower 80000 by 19.4 percent (to 67.174 million tonnes) 75482 76000 compared to 83.333 million tonnes achieved last year. Like cotton, this decline in sugarcane 72000 output is due to shrinking of cultivated area (by 68000 65482 17.9 percent from 1,343 thousand of last year to 62826 64000 1,102 thousand hectares) on account of water shortages. Moreover, low economic returns too 60000 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 discouraged the growers to bring more area under the sugarcane crop. Disposal problem of cane and Source: PBS payment difficulties also restricted the acreage of sugarcane. The area, production and yield of sugarcane during last five years are given in Table 2.5 and Figure 2.2.

It accounts for 3.0 percent of the value added in agriculture and 0.6 percent of GDP. After wheat, it is the second main staple food crop. During 2018-19, rice crop area decreased by 3.1 percent (to 2,810 thousand hectares compared to 2,901 thousand hectares of last year). The production stood at 7,202 thousand tonnes against the target of 7.0 million tonnes and remained short of 3.3 percent to 7,450 thousand tonnes against last year. The production declined due to decrease in area cultivated, dry weather and shortage of water.

  49. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 iv ) Wheat Fig 2.4: Wheat Production (000 Tonnes) Wheat accounts 8.9 percent value added in agriculture and 1.6 percent of GDP. Wheat crop showed marginal increase of 0.5 percent to 25.195 million tonnes over last year’s production of 25.076 million tonnes but fell short of the target by 4.9 percent. The area under cultivation declined by 0.6 percent (to 8,740 over last year’s 8,797 thousand hectares). This nominal decrease in area over previous year was due to shifting of area to oilseed & other competitive crops. However, production increased due to better crop yield and healthy grain formation. The position over the last five years is given in Table 2.7 and Figure 2.4.

It contributes 2.6 percent to value addition in agriculture and 0.5 percent to GDP. During 2018-19, maize cultivated on 1,318 thousand hectares and witnessed an increase of 5.4 percent over last year’s 1,251 thousand hectares. Its production increased by 5.1 percent to 6.309 million tonnes compared to target 6.0 million tonnes and 6.9 percent to the last year’s production 5.902 million tonnes. The production increased as farmers shifted from cotton and sugarcane, availability of improved variety of seed as well better economic returns. The position is presented in Table 2.8 and Figure 2.5.

  51. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 II . Farm Inputs i) Fertilizers Fertilizer is the most important (and an expensive) input contributing 30 to 50 percent to crop yield. Its share in cost of production of major crops is around 10 to 15 percent. The domestic production of fertilizers during 2018-19 (July-March) increased by 2.6 percent over the same period of previous year. This increase is due to functioning of two urea manufacturing plants (Agritech & Fatima Fertilizer) as supply of LNG was available on subsidized rates. The supply of imported fertilizer increased by 4.8 percent. Therefore, total availability of fertilizer increased by 3.2 percent during current fiscal year. Total offtake of fertilizer nutrients decreased by 7.3 percent. Nitrogen offtake also decreased by 2.89 percent and phosphate by 18.2 percent. Potash offtake recorded an increase of 4.55 percent during 2018-19 (July-March). Reduction in fertilizers offtake was mainly due to its high prices, despite receiving subsidy from the government. Following are different type of subsidies provided during current FY 2018-19.  Implementation of uniform tax rate of 2% for all type of fertilizers  The government ensured adequate supplies of urea in Rabi Season by providing a subsidy of Rs. 1,292 per bag for 105 thousand tonnes of imported urea  Local manufacturers have also subsidized Rs.714 per bag of urea as government provided cheaper feed gas  The government has recently operationalized two fertilizer plants, located at SNGPL network, by providing Rs. 916 per bag of urea subsidy for using LNG Total availability of urea during Kharif 2018 was 3.014 million tonnes comprising of 316 thousand tonnes of opening inventory and 2.698 million tonnes of domestic production (Table 2.12). Urea offtake was about 2,887 thousand tonnes, leaving inventory of 115 thousand tonnes for Rabi 201819. Availability of DAP was 1.627 million tonnes comprising of 190 thousand tonnes of opening inventory, 1.063 million tonnes of imported supplies and 374 thousand tonnes of local production. DAP offtake was 901 thousand tonnes leaving an inventory of 729 thousand tonnes for Rabi 2018-19. Rabi 2018-19 started with an opening balance of 115 thousand tonnes of urea (Table 2.12). Domestic production during Rabi 2018-19 was 2.923 million tonnes. Urea offtake during Rabi 2018-19 was 3.033 million tonnes, against 3.143 million tonnes of total availability, leaving a closing balance of 135 thousand tonnes for next season. DAP availability was 1.762 million tonnes, which included 729 thousand tonnes of opening inventory, 679 thousand tonnes of imported supplies and domestic production of 354 thousand tonnes. Offtake of DAP during Rabi season was 1.164 million tonnes, leaving a balance of 599 thousand tonnes for next season.

  52. Agriculture Total availability of urea during Kharif 2019 was estimated at 3 .452 million tonnes comprising of 135 thousand tonnes of opening balance and 3.217 million tonnes of domestic production and 100 thousand tonnes of imported supplies (Table 2.12). Urea offtake is expected to be around 2.942 million tonnes, reflecting a closing balance of 510 thousand tonnes. Total availability of DAP will be 977 thousand tonnes against expected offtake of 865 thousand tonnes leaving a balance of 112 thousand tonnes for next season. ii) Improved Seed Seed is the basic input for agriculture sector and has an imperative role in enhancing agriculture productivity. Federal Seed Certification & Registration Department (FSC&RD) is an attached department of Ministry of National Food Security & Research which provides seed certification services as and when requested by public and private seed agencies and has annual plan for field crop inspection and seed testing. In order to ensure improved seed certification services, FSC&RD administration is working on various aspects for strengthening of field offices, international collaboration; new initiatives for further development (Gilgit Baltistan Project, Establishment of Plant Breeder’s Rights Registry). Currently, FSC&RD is liaising with Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) the leading agency for the inception of National Single Window Program. The prime goal of FSC&RD is to protect the farmer’s interest. The area, seed requirements and seed availability during July-March, 2018-19, are given in Table 2.13.

The actual availability is also subject to change due to heavy rains in the month of April, 2019. Source: Federal Seed Certification & Registration Department iii) Mechanization Accelerated farm mechanization is an important element to accelerate growth in agriculture sector. Main constraint in increasing agricultural productivity also include non-availability of quality tractors and agricultural machinery at right time and at affordable prices to the farmers’ community. The domestic tractor industry has played a significant role in fulfilling the requirements of tractors to farmers. The number of operational tractors in the country is around 634,000 resulting in per acre horsepower (HP) availability of 0.09 against the required power of 1.4 HP per acre. During 2018-19 (July-March) total tractors production was 37,399 compared to the 52,551 produced last year. The major reasons of decline in the production of tractors are low sales because of filer condition for purchaser and also changing market dynamics/demand.

Livestock and Poultry a) Livestock Over the years, livestock subsector has surpassed the crop subsector as the biggest contributor to value added in agriculture. Presently it contributes 60.5 percent to the overall agricultural and 11.2 percent to the GDP during 2018-19. Gross value addition of livestock has increased from Rs. 1,384 billion (2017-18) to Rs.1,440 billion (2018-19), showing an increase of 4.0 percent over the same period last year. The importance of livestock sector can be realized from the fact that it is not only a source of foreign exchange earnings by contributing around 3.1% to the total exports, but also a source of 35-40% of income for over 8 million rural families and providing them food security by supplementing high valve protein of animal origin. Despite the fact that livestock sub sector could not attract large amount of investment due to its inherent subsistence and structural characteristics, this sector has shown a healthy growth of 4.0 % in 2018-19 over the previous year of 2017-18. 26

Source: Ministry of National Food Security & Research b) Poultry Poultry sector is one of the most vibrant subsectors of livestock sector. The current investment in Poultry Industry is more than Rs. 700 billion. This industry is progressing at an impressive growth rate of 8 to 10 percent per annum over last few years. Pakistan has become the 11th largest poultry producer in the world with the production of 1,163 million broilers annually. This sector provides employment (direct/indirect) to over 1.5 million people. Poultry today has been a balancing force to keep check on the prices of mutton and beef. Poultry meat contributes 34 percent (1,518 thousand tons) of the total meat production (4,478 thousand tons) in the country. Poultry meat production showed a growth rate of 9.1 percent whereas egg production showed a growth of 5.6 percent (19.0 billion Nos.) during 2018-19 as compared to previous year. Transformation of poultry production in controlled shed system is making a tremendous difference of quantity and quality of poultry production. There are now over 6,500 controlled environment poultry sheds in the country which indicates that our poultry sector is moving in the direction of modernization and using advance technology. The Poultry Development Strategy revolves around Disease control; Hi-tech poultry production in intensive poultry; Processing and value addition; improving poultry husbandry practices and development. The government has always been supportive to poultry industry in providing most enabling environment for its growth and expansion. The commercial layer, breeders and broiler stocks showed estimated growth of 7.0 percent, 5.0 percent and 10 percent respectively, while rural poultry developed @ 1.5 percent when compared to 2017-18. The estimated production of commercial and rural poultry and products for the last three years is given below: Table 2.23: Estimated Domestic/Rural & Commercial Poultry Type Units 2016-171 Domestic Poultry Million Nos. 85.86 Cocks Million Nos. 11.55 Hens Million Nos. 41.64 Chicken Million Nos. 32.67 Eggs2 Million Nos. 4,164 Meat 000 Tonnes 117.54 Duck, Drake & Duckling Million Nos. 0.44 28 2017-181 87.16 11.86 42.39 32.91 4,239 119.89 0.42 2018-191 88.49 12.18 43.15 33.16 4,315 122.28 0.40

Source: Ministry of National Food Security & Research Poultry Development Policy envisages sustainable supply of wholesome poultry meat; eggs and value added products to the local and international markets and aimed at facilitating private sector development for sustainable poultry production. The strategy revolves around supporting private sector through regulatory measures. The federal government has given a number of concessions on import of poultry machinery, parent and grandparent stock of chicken and hatching eggs to reduce input cost. During the Budget 201718, government reduced the sales tax from 17 percent to 7 percent on import of various types of poultry machinery, reduced custom duty from 11 percent to 3 percent and removal of 5 percent Regulatory duty on import of grandparent and parent stock of chicken and reduced custom duty on the import of hatching eggs from 11 percent to 3 percent. These concessions will help in reducing cost of production of value added poultry products and promote value added poultry industry in the country. Furthermore, federal government is also considering support for waiver of 100 percent cash margin on opening of letter of credit (LC) on import of raw material for poultry value addition to make the Pakistani products more competitive in the export market. Trade of Livestock and Livestock Products The development of the livestock sector and its vertical integration to produce value added products is important to enhance trade opportunities for Pakistan in the global market place. The value addition in livestock and poultry sectors are now on the path of achieving further heights and many value adding livestock and poultry businesses have been established in the country that are actively taking part in trade of livestock and livestock products. To enhance the trade activities of livestock and livestock products, the government has given following incentives;  Sales Tax on import of seven types of poultry machinery is reduced to 7 percent. These include poultry incubators, brooders, grain storage silos for poultry and poultry sheds  Custom duty on import of on grandparent and parent stock of chicken is reduced to 7 percent  Regulatory duty on import of grandparent and parent stock of chicken has been withdrawn  Custom duty on import of hatching eggs is reduced to 3 percent  Custom duty on import of raw skins & hides has been withdrawn 29
  61. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19  Custom duty on import of ostriches has been withdrawn  Custom duty of 3 percent on import of bulls meant for breeding purposes is withdrawn  Custom duty on the import of feeds meant for livestock sector is reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent and is also exempted from sales tax  Custom duty on import of fans used in dairy sheds is reduced to 3 percent if imported by members of the Corporate Dairy Association and also exempted from sales tax  Custom duty on import of growth promoters premix, vitamin premix, vitamin B12 (Feed grade) and vitamin H2 (Feed grade) is reduced to 5 percent for registered manufacturers of poultry feed  Custom duty on cattle feed premix is reduced to 5 percent  Custom duty on calf milk replacer has been reduced to 10 percent Government Policy Measures Livestock Wing under Ministry of National Food Security & Research, with its redefined role under 18th Constitutional Amendment, continued to regulate the sector and took several measures in this regard, including: allowing import of high yielding dairy cattle breeds of Holstein Friesian and jersey, genetic material of these breeds, (semen and embryos) for the genetic improvement of indigenous low producing dairy animals, allowing import of high quality feed stuff/micro ingredients for improving the nutritional quality of animal & poultry feed and allowing import of dairy, meat and poultry processing machinery/equipment at concessional tariff/duty in order to encourage value added industry in the country. Livestock Wing also provided necessary facilitation for export of meat and meat products. A total of 48.8 thousand tons of meat and meat products were exported during FY 2017-18 that fetched US$ 198.8 million, from the registered export oriented slaughter houses in the private sector. The export of other livestock by-products such as animal casings, bones, horns & hooves, gelatin etc. was also facilitated. The efforts continued for market access with the relevant concerned authorities in China, South Africa, Jordan and Indonesia using diplomatic channels for export of various meat and meat products. Livestock Wing allowed the import of 824.9 thousand doses of superior quality semen and 8,811 high yielding exotic dairy cattle of Holstein-Friesian & Jersey breeds during 2018-19 (July-March). The policy objective of these permissions is the genetic improvement of indigenous dairy animals in terms of per unit productivity. The imported dairy cows added approximately 61 million tons of milk per annum in the commercial milk chain/system. In order to promote corporate dairy sector, import of calf milk replacer & cattle feed premixes have been allowed at concessional tariffs. During 2018-19 (July-March), 364.6 metric tons of calf milk replacer & 297.4 metric tons of cattle feed premix has been imported for feeding to our dairy herd. During 2018-19 (July-March), the Animal Quarantine Department (AQD) provided quarantine services and issued 27,011 Health Certificates for the export of live animals, mutton, beef, eggs and other livestock products having value of US$ 268.887 million. The AQD generated non-tax revenue of Rs. 85.787 million during same year as certificate/laboratory examination fee of animal and animal products exported during the year. The National Veterinary Laboratory (NVL), Islamabad is a national institution reference laboratory to facilitate international trade meeting the WTO’s requirements while safeguarding the public health. The NVL conducted surveillance and diagnostics on highly contagious diseases of animals. It also carried out activities on National and Regional Projects regarding prevention and control of Transboundary Animal Diseases in Pakistan. During 2018-19 (July-March), about 11,402 samples 30
  62. Agriculture were analyzed for disease diagnosis surveillance , veterinary vaccines and residue testing to guide the animal health certification as well as to promote international trade livestock and livestock products. Livestock Wing also collaborated with international (Office International des Epizooties OIE, Food and Agriculture Organization FAO) and regional organizations (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation SAARC, Economic Cooperation Organization ECO, Animal Production & Health Commission for Asia APHCA, European Union EU) for Human Resource Development (HRD) and capacity building of national and provincial livestock institutions for diagnosis and control of animal diseases. Inter Provincial Coordination is being done by the Livestock Wing to implement the National Program to Control Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) and Peste des Petitis Ruminants (PPR) disease in Pakistan. Pakistan has been following progressive FMD Control Pathway, Pakistan has been placed Stage 02 of the total six (06) Stage Pathways. A National FMD Control Program at a cost of Rs.763.9 million for the period of six years has been approved by the competent forums to sustain and continue project activities related to FMD during subsequent years. FAO Pakistan will implement this project under Unilateral Trust Fund (UTF) Agreement. This will help in improving animal health status of the country regarding Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) which are technical barrier in the international trade of our livestock and livestock products. Moreover, to attract further investment in dairy sector, protect the small dairy farmers and the corporate dairy sector, beside regulating import and mitigate use of synthetic milk and recipe products/tea whiteners, regulatory duty to the tune of 25 percent has been imposed on import of Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) and Whey Powder (WP). Now the existing duty on import of powdered milk is 45 percent (import duty 20 percent and regulatory duty 25 percent). Future Plans The future plans will continue to focus on: i. Inter-provincial coordination for development of livestock sector ii. Coordination with private sector to promote value addition livestock industry and diversification of livestock products iii. Control of Trans-boundary Animal Diseases (FMD, PPR, Zoonotic diseases) of trade and economic importance through provincial participation iv. Bringing more investments in livestock sectors v. Exploring new markets for export of meat and dairy products with focus on Global Halal Food Trade Market vi. Under the “Prime Minister’s Initiatives on Livestock Sector”, it has been decided to initiate following Programs in all four provinces, ICT, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan to alleviate poverty and augment the livelihood of poor in the country:  Save the buffalo calf Program  Calf fattening Program  Backyard poultry Program IV. Fisheries Fisheries as a sub-sector of agriculture plays a significant role in the national economy and towards the food security of the country as it reduce the existing pressure on demand for mutton, beef and poultry. 31
  63. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Major Functions : i) Quality Control and Export of Fish & Fishery Products:  Fishery plays an important role in Pakistan’s economy and is considered to be a source of livelihood for the coastal inhabitants. A part from marine fisheries, inland fisheries (based in rivers, lakes, ponds, dams etc.) is also very important activity throughout the country. Fisheries share in GDP although very little but it adds substantially to the national income through export earnings. During the year 2018-19 (July-March), a total of 130,830 metric tons of fish and fishery products were exported, earning value of US$ 293.887 million (Rs. 39,245 million).  During 2018-19 (July-March), total marine and inland fish production was estimated at 575,000 metric tons out of which 390,000 metric tons was from marine waters and the remaining from catch from inland waters. Whereas the fish production for the period 2017-18 (July-March) was estimated to be 560,000 metric tons in which 380,000 metric tons was from marine and the remaining was produced by inland fishery sector.  During 2018-19 (July-March) a total of 130,830 metric tons of fish and fish preparation was exported. Pakistan’s major buyers are China, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Egypt, Bangladesh, UK, Middle East, Sri Lanka, Japan, etc. and earned US$ 293.887 million (Rs. 39,245 million). Whereas the export during 2017-18 (July-March) was 137,819 metric tons of fish and fishery products which earned US$ 315 million (Rs. 34,031 million). The export of fish & fishery products has decreased by 5 percent in quantity term where as in value terms it also decreased by 7 percent but in rupee terms it increased by 15 percent during 2018-19 (JulyMarch).  Quality seafood stocks were being depleting in Pakistani waters because of overfishing and use of destructive nets. Pakistan mostly exports to China at lower rates, while EU lifted ban from two factories only.  The government is taking a number of steps to improve fisheries sector and its exports. Further numbers of initiatives are being taken by federal and provincial fisheries departments.  Export of Fish and Fishery Products to the European Union (EU) countries: Since resumption of export to the EU countries different consignment of fish, cuttle fish and shrimps sent from one company to the EU have been successfully cleared after 100% laboratory analysis at EU border. Export of seafood to EU countries is as under: Table 2.24: Export of Fish and Fishery Products to European Union (EU) 2018-19 (P) Commodity / Fish Cuttlefish Shrimp Total Quantity Value Quantity Value Quantity Value Quantity Value Country (MT) Belgium Cyprus Spain Italy UK Total P: July-March US$ (000) 74 24 21 38 148 305 210 61 74 71 901 1,317 (MT) US$ (000) 28 74 215 317 102 274 1,123 1,499 (MT) US$ (000) 32 29 61 142 159 301 (MT) 134 98 236 38 177 683 US$ (000) 454 335 1,197 71 1,060 3,117 Source: Marine Fisheries Department To further enhance seafood export to EU countries, six more processing plants are in pipeline, their cases for approval is under process with EU authorities  Quality Control Laboratories of Marine Fisheries Department (MFD) including Microbiology Laboratory, Chemistry laboratory, Hydrology Laboratory, Biological laboratory and Biochemical laboratory are involved in seafood analysis and quality control services since the inception of the Department. Two laboratories Microbiology and Chemistry have got the status 32
  64. Agriculture of accreditation under ISO /IEC-17025 from Norwegian Accreditation (NA) body and Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC). ii) Deep Sea Fishing During the period under reporting new deep sea fishing licensing policy 2018 has been approved by the Cabinet. Applications for licenses have been invited through print media in May, 2019 which are under process. TED, and trials of TED by local fishermen MFD is conducting training Program for fishermen about the use of Turtle Excluder Device (TED). 99 fishermen, including representatives of the other organizations participated in the training for using the TED. The primary purpose of TED is to reduce the mortality of sea turtles in fishing nets, (shrimp trawl net) and safeguarding the livelihood of the local fishermen. The use of TED is mandatory required for export of shrimp to USA. The federal and provincial governments have assigned the task to the Maritime Security Agency for ensuring compliance of United State regulation about TED on all shrimp trawlers to ensure the export of shrimp to USA. Vision “To Promote Fisheries and Ensure Food Security Through Availability of Quality Products at Competitive Prices” The priorities for future development of fisheries sector includes the following strategies:  Improving marketing infrastructure for fishermen along coast i.e. providing technical assistance/guidelines to stakeholders/provinces for improvement of landing sites/auction halls at different fish harbours  Providing guidelines for up gradation of fishing boats according to international standards  Increasing capability for fisheries planning and management based on the sound knowledge of the state of the fishery resources and exploitation of these resources  Providing guideline/technical assistance for value addition and to promote aquaculture to boost fish production volume as well as value wise  Upgrading, accreditation and strengthening the quality control laboratories of MFD by adding the new testing parameters for monitoring environmental contaminants in fish & fishery products to satisfy the requirements of importing countries Conclusion The agriculture growth is not consistent as observed over the decades. The rural transformation pace remained very slow resulted in problems like food insecurity, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy etc. It is very important that focus should remain on raising food production through efficient irrigation and innovative technology, agriculture diversification, agriculture support services, SME development in rural areas and creating small cities in rural areas. The present government’s resolve is to enhance productivity and value change development. More R&D on seed varieties, improving resource use efficiency, promoting modern technologies, starting skill development Program to support rural enterprises is the need of time. Climate Smart Agriculture is an approach used worldwide focusing on enhancing agriculture productivity and incomes while simultaneously building resilience to climate vulnerability and changes. 33

  66. CHAPTER 3 Manufacturing and Mining Manufacturing plays a vital role in economic development . The contribution of Manufacturing in GDP is hovering around the 13.5-13.8 percent for almost decade, while for the current fiscal year it declined to 13.0 percent. The performance of major crops, power slippages, global commodity price shocks, and contraction in demand of domestic consumer goods hindered the growth of manufacturing sector. Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) has 78 percent share in Manufacturing and 10.2 percent in GDP whereas Small scale manufacturing accounts for 2.0 percent in GDP. The third component of the sector is Slaughtering and account 0.9 percent in GDP. The Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) growth during July-March FY 2019 declined to 2.93 percent as compared to 6.33 percent in the same period last year. On Year on Year (YoY), LSM growth witnessed sharp decline of 10.63 percent in March 2019 compared to increase of 4.70 percent in March 2018. The current Fiscal Year 2019 started with 7.4 percent growth mainly contributed by Electronics 95.6 percent, Non metallic minerals product 17.9 percent (Cement 18.0 percent) and Automobiles 22.1 percent (Jeeps & Cars 36.1 percent, Trucks 33.1 percent and Buses 54.3 percent). However, it declined by 2.1 percent in August 2018 on account of dismal performance witnessed in Non metallic mineral products which declined by 4.1 percent (Cement declined by 4.0 percent ), Automobiles declined by 13.9 percent (LCVs -15.9 percent, Tractors -4.8 percent and Cars -15.9 percent) and Electronics -32.5 percent. However, it marginally improved in September 2018 by 1.2 percent. This improvement was on account of Non metallic mineral products by 8.9 percent (Cement 8.4 percent). In October 2018, it reached to 6.7 percent on account of recovery witnessed in Non metallic mineral product by 22.2 percent (22.3 percent growth in Cement), Automobiles 13.8 percent (LCVs 8.7 percent, Tractors 26.6 percent and motor cycles 5.4 percent), Fertilizer 14.5 percent and Electronics 24.1 percent. In November 2018, LSM witnessed a sharp dip of 6.1 percent due to decline in Food, Beverages and Tobacco growth by -8.9 percent, Textile -0.2 percent and Paper & Board -27.0 percent. A slight recovery of 0.8 percent witnessed in December 2018. However, steep rise witnessed in January 2019 by 24.9 percent owing to phenomenal improvement of 208.1 percent in electronics, Paper & Board 23.8 percent and Food, Beverages & Tobacco 76.2 percent due to Sugar production increased by 183 percent. The impact of sugar however, moderated to 2.0 percent and -27.0 percent in February and March 2019. The graph below shows the LSM behavior on Month on Month basis. Fig-3.1: LSM growth (Month on Month) 30 24.9 25 20 15 6.7 10 7.4 5 1.2 0.8 1.8 0 -5 -2.1 July-18 Aug-18 Source: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics -5.1 -6.1 -10 Sep-18 Oct-18 Nov-18 Dec-18 Jan-19 Feb-19 Mar-19
  67. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 There are a number of factors which contributed to the slowdown in the growth of LSM including lower PSDP expenditures compared to last year , slowdown in the private sector construction activities and consumer spending on durable goods. This was more noticeable in construction-allied industries. Demand for housing moderated as the price of building materials and cost of financing increased. Certain sector-specific issues also contributed to the decline in LSM. Automobile prices witnessed multiple upward revisions due to PKR depreciation which held the potential buyers refrained from making booking and purchases. Certain restrictions on non-filers with respect to purchase of cars further dampened the automobile demand. Pharmaceutical also suffered due to a considerable lag in regulatory adjustments in prices. This pricing issue was in addition to weakening of the local currency, which added to the distress of an import dependent sector. Similarly, lower sugarcane production and previous year’s inventories further dampened the prospects of the sugar industry. Group wise growth and points contribution to LSM during the period of July-March FY 2018 versus July-March FY 2019 are given in the following Table 3.1. Table 3.1: Group wise growth and Point Contribution rate to LSM for the Period of Jul- Mar 2018-19 Vs Jul-Mar 2017-18 S# Groups Weights % Change July-March 2017-18 1 Textile 20.915 0.54 2 Food, Beverages & Tobacco 12.370 -0.76 3 Coke & Petroleum Products 5.514 12.31 4 Pharmaceuticals 3.620 4.50 5 Chemicals 1.717 0.86 6 Automobiles 4.613 18.90 7 Iron & Steel Products 5.392 27.49 8 Fertilizers 4.441 -8.30 9 Electronics 1.963 73.77 10 Leather Products 0.859 -6.83 11 Paper & Board 2.314 9.00 12 Engineering Products 0.400 8.35 13 Rubber Products 0.262 6.51 14 Non-Metallic Mineral Products 5.364 12.32 15 Wood Products 0.588 -19.71 Source: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 2018-19 -0.30 -4.69 -6.00 -8.40 -3.94 -7.58 -11.00 4.50 23.70 0.97 -3.86 9.54 3.47 -4.96 15.21 The performance of textile sector remained under stress during the period as it declined by 0.3 percent against meager growth of 0.5 percent during the same period last year. The performance of Textile sector having highest weight of 20.91 in Quantum Index Manufacturing (QIM) remained subdued on account of lackluster performance of cotton yarn 0.02 percent and cotton cloth 0.07 percent having a combined weight of 20.15 in textile sector. The textile export data is relatively encouraging on account of its wide-ranging coverage than the LSM data as in addition to cotton yarn and fabrics, it also includes the higher value added items like hosiery, knitwear, towels and readymade garments. The Food Beverages and Tobacco recorded a decline of 4.7 percent on account of decline in sugar 13.3 percent. During last few years, sugar industry outburst with impressive growth on the back of increased sugarcane crop in the country. However, in FY 2019 the progress stalled in line with reduction in crop. The other sectors recorded declined during the period are Tea blended 4.0 percent and soft drinks 4.2 percent which overshadowed the growth of cigarettes production. The improvement in tobacco sector is on account of crackdown on curbing the illegal imported products as well illicit production facilities. The items which recorded growths are Cigarettes 7.2 percent, starch and its products 6.4 percent and Juices, syrups & squashes 11.3 percent. 36
  68. Manufacturing and Mining The petroleum products is undergoing a significant shift in the country due to the government ’s policy of reducing the reliance on electricity generated from furnace oil based power plants. Furnace oil production sharply contracted by 11.1 percent. However, LPG recorded impressive growth of 27.7 percent, Diesel oil 32.7 percent and motor spirit 7.7 percent. Automobile sector growth declined by 7.6 percent during July-March FY 2019. Its sub sector except such as Buses grew by 16.9 percent while all other registered negative growth such as; Tractors 28.7 percent, Trucks 27.2 percent, LCVs 13.6 percent, Jeeps & Cars 0.1 and motor cycles 11.7 percent. The factors which impacted this vibrant sector remained currency depreciation, policy rate hikes and uncertainty regarding filer versus non filer issue. The assemblers passed on the impact of depreciation to the customer. Furthermore, the increase in car prices along with higher financing costs has also contained the demand for automobiles. However, later on government relaxed some restrictions on non-filer and also government’s commitment to implement the vehicle import policy in letter and spirit will spur the growth. The production of Iron and Steel shrank due to dismal performance of billets/Ignots which grew by 24.7 percent whereas H/C.R. Sheets/Strips/Coils/plates slightly inched up to 3.1 percent. Steel demand contracted from decline in automobile production along with international price dynamics. During the period global economy is currently gripped by US-China trade tensions which led to volatility in the global steel market resulted adverse implications for domestic steel industry. The electronics recorded a growth of 23.7 percent, mainly derived from phenomenal growth of electrics motor which registered a growth of 37.4 percent, which is due to its wide usage in washing machines, refrigerator, air conditioners etc. The demand for these goods rises in summer and manufacturers build up the inventories. Improvement of electricity supplies also contributed to the performance of this subsector. The dismal performance of Non-metallic mineral growth is on account of cement production which declined by 5.5 percent. The cement dispatches however, increased by 4.34 million tons in March as against 3.35 million tons in February 2019 which augur well that demand is picking up and will be further supplemented under government’s housing program, going forward. Fertilizers recorded a growth of 4.5 percent on account of Nitrogenous Fertilizers which recorded a growth of 5.7 percent. The pickup in its growth was due to provision of subsidized RLNG. Selected items of Large Scale Manufacturing are given in Table 3.2.

This will jack up the construction industries specially cement and also generate employment. In addition, SAIC motor, the largest automotive company of China already launches HONGYAN heavy-duty trucks in Pakistan as well as Renault in partnership with Ghandara Nissan Ltd. Kia Lucky Motors Pakistan Limited (KLM), one of the eight new prospective entrants into the automobile sector, has announced that it will begin commercial production of vehicles by September 2019. The rapidly developing with many infrastructure projects especially under China Pakistan Economic Corridor will helped to boost the automobile sector as well push up the construction related allied industries. 3.2 Textile Industry Textile is the most important manufacturing sector of Pakistan and has the longest production chain, with inherent potential for value addition at each stage of processing, from cotton to ginning, spinning, fabric, dyeing and finishing, made-ups and garments. The sector contributes nearly onefourth of industrial value-added and provides employment to about 40 percent of industrial labor force. Barring seasonal and cyclical fluctuations, textiles products have maintained an average share of about 59 percent in national exports. The export performance during the period under review is given in Table 3.3.

The performance of these various ancillary textile industries is illustrated as under:- 38
  70. Manufacturing and Mining i . Cotton Spinning Sector The spinning sector is the backbone in the ranking of textile production. At present, as per record of Textiles Commissioner’s Organization (TCO), it comprises 517 textile units (40 composite units and 477 spinning units) with 13.414 million spindles and 198801 rotors installed and 11.338 million spindles and 126583 rotors in operation with capacity utilization of 84.55 percent and 63.67 percent, respectively. ii. Cloth Sector Problems of the power loom sector evolve mainly due to the poor technology and scarcity of quality yarn. Looms installed in cotton textile mills are 9,084 and looms worked were 6,384. Moreover, Production of cloth in mill sector is reported whereas in non-mills sector is not reported and therefore is estimated. The production of cotton cloth has remained stagnant which slightly increased by 0.03 percent while the exports in term of quantity increased by 18.1 percent whereas in value term decreased by 2.09 percent.

At present , there may be transient deceleration in growth, but as the auto policy (ADP 2016-21) is going to bear fruits, there would be paradigm shift in the industry when many new players would soon join the market with entirely new models. Besides, the existing players have already made huge investments and a lot more is in waiting. Despite extraneous factors particularly in terms of tariffs and import of used vehicles, which still hold 18 percent market share, huge expansion of industry volumes take place to enact much awaited take off stage as envisioned in the Auto Policy 2016-21. Automobile prices witnessed multiple upward revisions due to PKR depreciation, economic slowdown to curtail domestic demand and price-sensitive potential buyers refrained from making purchases. In addition, certain restrictions on non-filers with respect to purchase of cars further dampened the automobile demand. There has been sluggishness everywhere in the local auto industry during the current financial year; except buses where normal growth of 17 percent has taken place, during Jul-Mar FY2019. Indeed, there is enormous potential in demand for buses, waiting to 41
  73. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 unleash when serious measures are taken on formulating and implementing Urban Transport Schemes in the cities by replacing the old and dilapidated buses , presently plying on the roads of most of metropolitan areas. A persistent decline was in evidence, in case of Trucks, registered 27 percent loss in production. The non-filers policy may not have impacted here; but the work at certain government projects had halted, so are the supplies of trucks and the respective payments, resulting disruption of the chain of events at the trucking industry. During Jul-Mar, FY 2019, the farm tractor sector massively declined by 28.7 percent as the production recorded at 37,457 units against 52,551 units produced, in the corresponding period of the last year. This decline was due to massive slow down in agriculture growth, water shortages and other issues like increase in the prices of agricultural inputs and halting of development projects added woes of the farmers, thus badly impacted the bookings of Farm Tractors. Passenger car sector was somewhat resistant to the general receding trend in the industry with meager growth of 2.4 percent. The growth was impacted by repeated policy changes with regard to non-filers like imposition ban on purchase, heavy taxation on registration by non-filers and the recent 10 percent levy of federal excise duty. The imposition of 10 percent FED on exceeding 1700cc engine capacity has badly impacted locally produced cars, jeeps and SUBS. The LCV/pick-ups being price sensitive also lost ground, 14 percent down in production. The two/three wheelers sector also failed to show normal growth, it rather dropped off production by 5.8 percent during Jul-Mar FY2019. These vehicles cater to lower income group, hence, are extremely price sensitive. Still, this sector offers most preferred and economical means of transport and best alternative in the absence of public transport in the cities and thus holds a dependable and continued potential for growth in the coming years. The Table below shows previous year’s comparative position of production in auto industry (PAMA members).

The industry produces, imports and distributes fertilizer throughout the country. As fertilizer is an important input for agriculture growth: the government’s intervention in the shape of subsidy and tax relaxations has improved the performance of the agriculture sector. There are ten urea manufacturing plants, one DAP, three NP, four SSP, two CAN and one plant of blended NPKs having a total production capacity of 9218 thousand product tonnes per annum. Total production during first nine months (July to March) of the current fiscal year was 5756 thousand tonnes which was 2.7 percent 42
  74. Manufacturing and Mining less as compared to the corresponding time frame of the last year . This increase in production is attributed to the provision of LNG at subsidized rate to Fatima Fert. and Agritech plants. Urea is main fertilizer having 70 percent share in production capacity. Although installed production capacity of 6408 thousand tonnes per annum is enough to meet local demand but gas curtailment for fertilizer sector and high price of LNG has resulted in production of urea at 80% of capacity. Consequently, domestic demand has to be met through imported supplies during peak demand time of crop growing season. About 105 thousand tonnes of urea was imported during current fiscal year. Nutrient offtake during July 2018 to March 2019 was 3497 thousand tonnes which was 7.2 percent less than the corresponding period of the previous year. Nitrogen and Phosphate offtake was 2551 and 900 thousand tonnes respectively, whereas Potash offtake was 46 thousand tonnes. The recommended level of fertilizer use in Pakistan for Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Potash (K) is 2:1:0.5. Current fiscal year first nine months estimates shows that Nitrogen (N) and Phosphate offtake has been decreased by 2.9 and 18.1 percent respectively, while Potash (K) offtake has surged by 4.5 percent as compared to last year. Urea and DAP offtake during first nine months of current fiscal year was 4443 thousand tonnes and 1743 thousand tonnes respectively. Urea and DAP offtake decreased by 2.2 and 17.7 percent respectively, as compared to the same time frame of the last year. 3.3-3 Cement Industry Pakistan's cement industry showed poor performance during the first nine months of current financial year July -March FY 2019. Cement sector with its huge underused capacities continued to face lack of domestic demand due to slow growth, low development spending and delayed in launch of the government’s low-cost housing scheme. While cement consumption is usually at its height in March as construction activities peak with the pleasant weather and urgency in completing government development works within the financial year. Total dispatches (local and exports) in March 2019 declined by 6.7 percent to 4.34 Mt from 4.652 Mt in March 2018. The decline in domestic consumption continued as it went down to 3.858 Mt in March 2019 from 4.26 Mt in March 2018, depicting a decrease of 9.4 percent. Though exports continued to increase, the growth posted in March 2019 (23.1 percent) is the lowest export growth in the last seven months. 4.34 3.35 3.89 Dec/18 3.66 3.93 3.83 3.46 Aug/18 4.0 3.57 4.5 Jul/18 5.0 Nov/18 4.56 Fig-3.2: Cement Dispatches (M.Tonnes) 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 Mar/19 Feb/19 Jan/19 Oct/18 Sep/18 0.0 Source: All Pakistan Cement Manufacture Association Northern region Domestic consumption in the northern part of the country continued to decline as it was only 3.071 Mt last month when compared with 3.543 Mt in the year-ago period. Exports from northern mills also declined to 0.131 Mt in March 2019 from 0.218 Mt in March 2018. Southern region Domestic dispatches from mills in the southern part of the country edged up to 0.787 Mt in March 2019 as compared to 0.717 Mt in March 2018. Furthermore, exports from the region doubled from 0.173 Mt in March 2018 to 0.35 Mt in March 2019. 43
  75. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Cumulative dispatches Total local dispatches during Jul-Mar FY 2019 , fell to 29.448 Mt from 31.314 Mt, whereas exports rose to 5.132 Mt from 3.444 Mt in FY2017-18. According to the APCMA, of particular concern is the continued slump in the northern region where local dispatches have declined by over 10 per cent in last nine months from 25.887 Mt in FY2017-18 to 23.199 Mt in the corresponding period of FY2018-19. However, local dispatches from the mills situated in southern region of the country have increased during Jul-Mar FY2019 by 15.16 percent to 6.248 Mt from 5.426 Mt in Jul-Mar FY 2018. Exports also rose in the south by 210 percent in the current fiscal year, from 1.013 Mt in July-Mar FY 2018 to 3.143 Mt in Jul-Mar FY2019, while in the north the exports stood at 1.988 Mt in first nine months of this fiscal year as compared to 2.431 Mt during the same period last year, a decline of 18.2 percent. The cement industry has been under pressure in this fiscal year as development expenditure has been slashed, however, government announcement of program to build five million low cost houses in next five years for the homeless will spur the growth.

SMEs are the backbone of the economy but lack resources to adopt new technologies and improve their production based on latest development. To provide impetus to SME sector and enhances its competiveness, the present government, is developing National SME Policy 2019, which will serve as Government of Pakistan’s master plan for providing support to catalyze growth of the sector. The focus of the policy shall be on job creation, export enhancement and increased contribution of SMEs in the National economy. The policy will address core SME development issues, including access to finance, Business Development Services (HR Development, Technology, Marketing, Market Access, Standards and Certifications etc.), simplification & rationalization of taxation regime and reduction in cost of doing business. A cohesive strategic framework for business facilitation across the public sector institutional infrastructure, both federal & provincial, will be developed for implementation of policy under the principle of ease of doing business. 44
  76. Manufacturing and Mining In order to formulate the Policy , a participatory process has been adopted to identify real SME challenges, which will be coupled with a strategy to address them. In this regard, Focus Group Discussions, Workshops and Consultative sessions were held nationwide (Lahore, Islamabad, Multan, Peshawar, Swat, Sialkot, Gujranwala & Gujrat) during current fiscal year. Eminent researchers, representatives of chambers of Commerce & Industry, Trade Associations and academia are also actively involved in the policy making Committee to provide necessary guidance to the policy formulation process. The first meeting of Steering Committee for national SME Policy was held in December 2018. The draft Policy shall be submitted for approval to the Federal Cabinet in 2019. i.

Special Projects with International Development Partners a. Economic Revitalization of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (ERKF) Economic Revitalization of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (ERKF) is a Multi Donor Trust Fund Project (MDTF). The project was initiated to provide assistance in the economic recovery and rehabilitation of crisis affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and erstwhile FATA. After the successful completion of Phase-I, MDTF extended the project to Phase-II (2017-2020). Under Phase-II, ERKF Project is offering support to SMEs on the basis of 50% matching share through the following types of grants; 1. Rehabilitation Grant – This grant is given to SMEs for rehabilitation of businesses affected by crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and erstwhile FATA. The program provides the flexibility of using these grants either for capital expenditures or for working capital. 2. Up-gradation Grant – Up-gradation grant is available to those SMEs that have an existing business and they need support for upgrading their business processes for improving their productivity and efficiency. 3. Cluster Grant – this type of grant is provided to groups of SMEs (at least 5 SMEs). Preference is given to those project that benefit, not only the concerned SMEs, but the entire cluster. In order to raise awareness of Phase-II of the project, SMEDA arranged several awareness sessions across the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province for providing hands on information to SMEs, including women entrepreneurs. Application forms of respective grants have also been provided to all SMEs, chambers associations and other business representative bodies in the region. 45
  77. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Under Phase-II of ERKF project (July 2018 – March 2019), a total amount of PKR 274.25 million has been approved/sanctioned to 372 SMEs in the region. The project aims to achieve its development objective by 2020, through creation of sustainable employment opportunities and rehabilitation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). b. SMEDA Industrial Support Program: In order to provide support to the Industry, SMEDA collaborates with international development organizations, such as; Japan International Cooperation agency (JICA), German International Cooperation (GIZ), Training and Development Centers of the Bavarian Employers Association (bfz), Germany and local experts. Technical assistance is provided to SMEs across a range of industries to improve productivity, competitiveness and energy efficiency. During July 2018 to March 2019, SMEDA provided support to Auto Parts manufacturers by conducting energy audits, improving production efficiency, enhancing productivity, increasing capacity of local engineers and training. vi. Cluster Development Based Mineral Transformation Plan/Vision 2025 SMEDA was awarded a contract for a project titled ‘Feasibility Research Study on Cluster Development Based Mineral Transformation Plan/Vision 2025’ by the Planning Commission. The project entails an extensive study of 20 mineral clusters besides improving the efficiency of existing ones throughout the value chain i.e. supply-chain development, market intelligence, attraction of foreign direct investment & improved processing. From July 2018 to March 2019, first draft of 20 cluster profiles was completed and submitted to the Planning Commission. Moreover, 5 value chain studies were also developed; i) Gypsum, ii) Gemstone, iii) Coal, iv) Chromite, and v) Dimension Stones (Marble, Granite and Onyx). In addition to this, database of 1800 SMEs has also been developed. 3.6: Mineral Sector The mineral potential of Pakistan is widely recognized to be excellent but this sector over the past inadequately developed. This is evident that its contribution to industry as a sub sector 13.5 percent and GDP remained 2.7 percent. Although efforts are underway to developed but enough remains to be done to enhance the sector to take full advantage of its endowment. This sector is lagging behind despite huge potential, due to interconnected and cross cutting issues like lack of infrastructure at mines sites, low level of technology installed and semi skilled labor, low financial support and lack of marketing. The Mining and Quarrying sector negatively grew by 1.96 percent during Jul-Feb FY 2019 as against 7.7 percent last year. Chromite, Magnesite, Rock salt, Barytes, Ocher and Crude oil posted a positive growth of 228.69 percent, 159.63 percent, 12.65 percent, 22.15 percent, 19.12 percent and 0.47 percent, respectively. However, some witnessed negative growth during the period under review such as Coal 25.42 percent, Natural gas 1.98 percent, Sulphur 40.72 percent, Calcite 91.49 percent, Soap stone 13.12 percent, Marble 4.66 percent and Bauxite 30.82 percent (Table 3.15).

River Indus enters Punjab from downstream of Tarbila dam and after passing through areas of Ghazi, Waisa, Attock, Khurd, Choai, Jhand, Kalabagh etc., enters into Dera Ismael Khan, beyond the boundary of Punjab province. The Indus river course mainly falls in District Attock & Mianwali in Punjab. The objective is to determine the economic potential of the placer gold in specified areas of river Indus at different locations in District Attock. According to the results, viable block(s)/ zone(s) can be granted of concessions under the Punjab Mining Concession Rules 2002. ii. Construction of drainage Nala for disposal of saline water from sandstone leases of chak No.123 SB and 126 SB, District Sargodha Mines & Minerals Department has 58 blocks of Sandstone in Kirana Hills of District Sargodha in the province of Punjab and the leases of these blocks have been granted through open auction under the provision of Punjab Mining Concession Rules 2002. 47
  79. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 As excavation of stone from these hills / blocks is being done since long, pits have been developed in most of the blocks having depths of 15-25 feet due to extensive working. Almost in all the pits, water gets accumulated due to seepage and rain which causes lessees immense difficulties during mining operations. This situation compels the lessees to dispose this saline water from the pits on to nearby lands & pits of other vacant blocks. Due to this uncontrolled disposal of saline water, the surrounding lands have gotten affected badly causing unrest among the inhabitants. Therefore, construction of drainage nala to dispose of this saline water is a basic necessity of the stone market and the locals which on one hand will eventually make the pits workable and on the other facilitate the local land owners and inhabitants. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: The total area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is 74,521 Sq Km out of which 70 percent consist of mountains and rocks. The formation of these rocks contains huge prospects of different metallic /non-metallic minerals and various precious/semi-precious gemstones minerals. It has large number of mineral resources which have not yet been exploited at all to its full potential. Based on the exploration done so far, excellent prospects of other valuable deposits exist. The production data of mineral in respect of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is given in the table.

From East to West, it is comprised of three main geological zones, namely the Thar Desert, the Indus Plain and Delta, and the Khirthar Mountains. At present about 24 minerals are under exploitation but on small scale. Sindh government has accorded priority to the development of mineral sector as it correlates with the development of remote areas of province as well as alleviating poverty. Mines and Mineral development department are being acquired by latest mineral exploration techniques for effective date geological generation and identification of exploration targets. Sindh produces a variety of commercial clays, including Fuller’s Earth, China Clay, Fire Clay, Ball Clay and Bentonite. It is endowed with large and extensive deposits of Limestone. Keeping in view the contribution of mineral sector in GDP which can also be enhanced by commercial exploitation of granite, marble and the other minerals as well. The Directorate General of Mines & Mineral Development, sponsored the on-going ADP-Scheme-2018-19 title “Feasibility Study of granite Deposits in District Tharparkar Sindh” and “Exploration, evaluation and value addition of Granite Deposits in Sindh for economical & industrial use”.The scheme will be completed in June 2020. The Mines & Mineral Development Department, Government of Sindh has also proposed a Scheme titled as “Sindh Mineral Policy” for the year 2019-20. The Mines & Mineral Development Department, has already established Geo-data Centre with official web portal which will provide all the necessary information to the General Public as well as Investors/Stake holders. This carries with mineral based information and online granted leases database along with provision of information regarding the granted areas in the Sindh. Balochistan Balochistan is the largest province (area wise) of the country constituting about 43% of the total 48
  80. Manufacturing and Mining National landmass . The Country, in general, and the province in particular, is endowed by the nature with the blessing of substantial mineral wealth. Mineral industry can play an important role in boosting up the socio-economic setup in Balochistan as agriculture in other parts of the country but due attention could not be given to the exploration and development of mineral sector due to financial constraints, heavy risk investment and lack of infrastructure as the deposits are located in remote and far flung areas. Nature has gifted Balochistan with vast natural resources. Efforts are being made for scientific exploration and exploitation of minerals resources of the province. Major mineral potentials are described as under:i. Metallic Minerals (Chromite, Iron, Copper/Gold, Lead Zinc, Titanium potential and Antimony ii. Non-Metallic Minerals (Coal, Gypsum, Fluorite, Magnesite, Baryte, Vermiculite, Asbestos, Dimension stone) Currently the Government has planned projects related to management of the Mining Industry, however, following are the potential projects for development and investment related to CPEC and also in general for the government and private sector: Project Location  Establishment of Mini Steel Mills  Cement Manufacturing Plants Mastung and Chagai Quetta, Kalat, Mastung, Loralai, Lasbella, MBarkhan, Bolan, Sibi, Hernai and Kohlu Quetta, Loralai, Sibi and Hernai.  Establishment of Coal based thermal Power Stations.  Establishment of Ferro-Chrome Plant  Establishment of Marble Cities.  Establishment of Barium Chemical Compounds Industry Cost (Billion PKR) 15 05 03 Muslim Bagh and Khuzdar 05 Chagai, Khuzdar and Loralai Khuzdar 02 02 Conclusion: Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) performance remains muted due to lower PSDP expenditures compared to last year, slowdown in the private sector construction activities and consumer spending on durable goods along with low labor productivity. Adjustments, stabilization and reform process will continue for higher growth. The government is seriously focusing on ease of doing business by making efforts to rebuild investors confidence and trying to remove all basic impediments that adversely affect business environment and thus investment in the country. Going forward, some gradual recovery in economic activity is expected on the back of improved market sentiment in the context of the IMF supported program. The rebound in the agro based industries as well as government incentives for export oriented industries will improve labor productivity which will help in reviving LSM in medium term. 49

  82. CHAPTER 4 Fiscal Development Fiscal policy is an important and potential tool for economic stabilization . It has achieved importance over the previous decade as an instrument for macroeconomic stabilization in response to global financial crises. However, there has not been much emphasis on fiscal reforms to provide a more sustainable path to long-term inclusive growth. In Pakistan, fiscal sector has faced multifaceted challenges over the years due to unproductive and rigid expenditures on one hand and lower tax revenues on the other. This has narrowed the fiscal space for public investment and social safety nets. High fiscal deficit has therefore become a norm, with high interest payments, untargeted subsidies, including energy subsidies, loss making PSEs, and security related expenditure all contributing to the expanding fiscal deficit. A brief review of fiscal performance during last five years exhibits a deceleration in revenues and increase in expenditures compared to targets, causing an increase in the fiscal deficit to 6.5 percent of GDP in FY2018 - highest during the last five years. In FY2016, fiscal deficit was brought down to 4.6 percent of GDP but the low trajectory could not be maintained and increased to 5.8 percent and 6.5 percent during FY2017 and FY2018, respectively. The performance of fiscal indicators shows that total revenue growth experienced a slow down (5.9 percent in FY2018 against 11.0 percent growth in FY2017), while, total expenditure growth was contained at 10.1 percent in FY2018 as compared to 17.3 percent in FY2017. During first nine months of FY2019, consolidated fiscal indicators performance suggests that total revenue registered zero growth over same period last year, while total expenditures increased by 8.7 percent for the same period. Therefore, fiscal deficit as percent of GDP reached 5.0 percent as compared 4.3 percent in comparable period of last year. The incumbent government inherited the economy facing multiple economic challenges which required considerable adjustments. The priority of the government is to undertake structural reforms and fiscal adjustments to correct the underlying imbalances in the economy. In addition, the government is focused on taking various policy measures to address structural problems which have plagued the economy over the years. The focus is on exploiting the overall growth potential of the country and achieving higher growth trajectory through higher investment, efficiency and enhanced productivity. On fiscal side, the government is committed to implement structural reforms to narrow the fundamental revenue-expenditure gap. This will ensure an efficient and fair tax system with the ability to generate ample revenue to finance a large part of public expenditures. Fiscal Policy Developments Fiscal indicators during FY2018 suggest that total revenue at 15.1 percent of GDP remained below the revised target of 16.0 percent. Both tax and non-tax revenue showed dismal performance, while expenditures increased. Tax revenue reached 12.9 percent of GDP against the target of 13.2 percent, of which FBR tax collection remained at 11.1 percent against the revised target of 11.4 percent. Similarly, non-tax revenue reached 2.2 percent against the target of 2.8 percent. On the other hand,
  83. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 total expenditures stood at 21 .6 percent against the target of 21.5 percent. Hence, fiscal deficit surpassed its revised target of 5.5 percent and stood at 6.5 percent of GDP in the last fiscal year. During the last five years, total revenue as percent of GDP on average reached 14.9 percent, with tax revenue and non-tax revenue at 11.8 and 3.1 percent, respectively.

The rise in tax revenues is primarily due to the 14.1 percent growth in FBR tax collection (compared with 8.2 percent growth in FY2017).Provincial taxes posted a higher growth rate of 24.7 percent in FY2018, compared with 13.6 percent growth in FY2017. Despite the acceleration in the growth of tax revenues, growth in total revenue collection decelerated, falling from 11.0 percent in FY2017 to 5.9 percent in FY2018, due to a fall in non-tax revenue. Non-tax revenues posted a negative growth of 21.4 percent in FY2018 as compared with 23.0 percent positive growth in FY2017. The contraction in non-tax revenue came primarily from the decline in defence related revenue, especially CSF, negative profit of post office Dept/PTA and negative growth in markup and dividends. As percent of GDP, non-tax revenue reduced to 2.2 percent in FY2018 from 3.0 percent in FY2017. Some components of non-tax revenue maintained a positive growth rate, such as SBP profit with a growth of 2.4 percent in FY2018. Similarly, royalties on oil and gas and windfall levy on crude oil, which have relatively smaller share in total non-tax revenue, also witnessed higher growth during FY2018. Review of Public Expenditures In FY2018, total expenditures were 21.6 percent of GDP – higher than the average of the last five years of 20.5 percent. Current expenditures in FY2018 reached 16.9 percent, as compared to the five year average of 16.3 percent, while, development expenditures maintained its share of 4.7 percent of GDP, as per the average of the last five years. While overall total expenditure remained high, growth in total expenditures decelerated to 10.1 percent during FY2018 as compared to 17.3 percent in FY2017. This slowdown in expenditures came primarily from lower growth in development expenditures and net lending which was reduced 52
  84. Fiscal Development by 3 .5 percent in FY2018 as compared to growing by 27.9 percent in FY2017. The negative growth largely came from negative growth of 7.7 percent in PSDP expenditures during FY2018 against 33.1 percent growth in FY2017. The pace of PSDP releases remained slow at the end of FY2018, especially during the interim government period as Election Commission prohibited starting any new development project, as this could potentially effect voter sentiments during the elections. Conversely, current expenditures grew from 10.7 percent in FY2017 to 12.6 percent in FY2018. This sharp increase was due to increase in provincial current expenditures as was expected during election year. Federal and provincial current spending registered a growth of 9.1 and 19.6 percent, respectively. Share of current expenditures in total expenditures increased from 76.4 percent in FY2017 to 78.2 percent in FY2018. This share is budgeted at 77.8 percent for FY2019.

Share of defence expenditures in total and current expenditures remained at 13.8 and 17.6 percent, respectively in FY2018 compared with 13.1 and 17.1 percent in the preceding year. The budget estimates suggest that defence expenditures will remain at 2.9 percent of GDP during current fiscal year. Similarly, mark up payments posted a growth of 11.2 percent in FY2018 to Rs 1,499.9 billion (4.3 percent of GDP) compared to Rs 1,348.4 billion (4.2 percent of GDP) in FY2017, growth of 6.7 percent. Share of mark-up payments in total and current expenditures remained at 20.0 and 25.6 percent, respectively in FY2018 compared with 19.8 and 25.9 percent, respectively in FY2017. For FY2019, marks up payments are budgeted at 4.2 percent of GDP. Current subsidies posted a negative growth of 25.7 percent in FY2018 as compared with negative growth of 25.8 percent in FY2017. Share of subsidies in current expenditures reduced from 3.0 percent in FY2017 to 2.0 percent in FY2018. It is expected to remain at Rs 174.7 billion (2.8 percent of current expenditures) in FY2019. On the other hand, overall development expenditures and net lending posted a negative growth of 3.5 percent in FY2018 compared with the positive growth of 27.9 percent in FY2017. Development expenditures excluding net lending posted negative growth of 6.5 percent in FY2018 and stood at Rs 1,584.1 billion (4.6 percent of GDP) as compared with growth of 30.1 percent to Rs 1,693.5 billion (5.3 percent of GDP) in FY2017. 53

Federal PSDP (net excluding development grants to provinces) spending witnessed negative growth of 20.6 percent (Rs 576.1 billion) in FY2018 against growth of 22.3 percent (Rs 725.6 billion) in FY2017. Provincial PSDP registered a growth of 3.3 percent in FY2018 compared with 43.8 percent in FY2017. Despite contraction in development spending, released amount for BISP (development expenditures outside PSDP) posted a significant growth of 53.7 percent to Rs 107 billion in FY2018 from Rs 69.6 billion in FY2014.

On the other hand, provincial total expenditures increased by 19.6 percent in FY2018 as compared to 11.3 percent increase last year. Hence, provincial governments collectively posted a cumulative deficit of Rs 17.5 billion against the revised surplus target of Rs 273.9 billion in FY2018, an increased from provincial fiscal deficit in FY2017, of Rs 15.9 billion. Provincial deficits during the last two years are weighing on consolidated budget deficit and deteriorating the fiscal position. 54
  86. Fiscal Development The budget deficit of Rs 2 ,260.4 billion financed from both domestic and external sources. Government borrowed Rs 785.2 billion (34.7 percent of budget deficit) from external sources. While, Rs 1,475.2 billion or (65.3 percent of budget deficit) generated from domestic sources. Within banks, government primarily borrowed from SBP for budgetary support. Primary deficit1 increased from 1.6 percent of GDP in FY2017 to 2.2 percent of GDP in FY2018. Simultaneously, revenue deficit increased to 1.8 percent of GDP in FY2018 compared to 0.8 percent in FY2017 due to uncontrollable current expenditures.

Total expenditures at 21.2 percent of GDP with current expenditures at 16.5 percent of GDP and development expenditures and net lending estimated at 4.7 percent of GDP. Allocation for PSDP increased to Rs 1,650.0 billion, Federal PSDP2 allocation Rs 800 billion and provincial ADP at Rs 850.0 billion as per budget estimates at the start of CFY. Provincial surplus is estimated at Rs 285.604 billion. Therefore, consolidated budget deficit target is estimated Rs 1,890.2 billion (4.9 percent of GDP). The budget deficit to be financed from both external and domestic sources. Within financing, Rs 342.1 billion (18.1 percent of budget deficit) and Rs 1,548.1 billion (81.9 percent of budget deficit) was targeted from external sources and domestic sources, respectively. Within domestic sources, bank and non-bank to contribute 65.6 and 34.4 percent, respectively. Revenue deficit and primary deficit budgeted at 0.2 and 0.7 percent of GDP, respectively for FY2019. The present government is focused on improving the fiscal accounts particularly, focusing on improving the tax revenues. The tax system is being streamlined. As a first step, tax policy and tax administration functions have been separated so as to remove the apparent conflict of interest in tax collection. Tax policy is being designed to be fair, equitable and productive. The revenue and fairness objectives are pursued by expanding the tax base, reducing tax exemptions and through more efficient tax administration. Tax administration is being strengthened by allowing its access to third-party data and modern tools to identify and tapping tax defaulters. Fiscal reforms will ensure an 1 The primary balance is the balance excluding interest payments , while the revenue balance is total revenue less current expenditures. 2Total Federal PSDP 2018-19 would be Rs 1,030 billion out of which Rs 230 billion would be self-financing by the corporation/authorities and Rs 800 billion would be provided through budget 2018-19. 55
  87. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 efficient and fair tax system which will be capable of generating sufficient revenue to meet a large portion of public expenditure and investment needs , leading to a decline in fiscal deficit and falling debt-to-GDP ratio. On expenditure side, the government plans to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public expenditure by framing laws to give greater autonomy to the spending units, but with greater accountability, enforcing rules to stem leakages from the system, improving coordination between the federal government and the provinces and reorienting expenditure priorities towards social welfare. The government plans to manage public expenditures prudently with increased efficiency and effectiveness. State Owned Enterprises are expected to increase efficiency and be self-reliant and capable of performing at par with private sector. These efforts would expand fiscal space which in turn would help the government to better protect the poor and vulnerable from economic and noneconomic shocks3. Fiscal Performance (July-March, FY2019) Consolidated fiscal position during first nine months of current fiscal year shows zero growth in total revenue and 8.7 percent growth in total expenditures over same period last year. As a result, fiscal deficit during this period reached 5.0 percent of GDP as compared with 4.3 percent in comparable period of last year.

Decelerated performance of total revenues is primarily due to marginal growth of 2.8 percent in tax revenues and negative growth of 16.7 percent in non-tax revenues. Tax revenue registered a growth of 2.8 percent during Jul-Mar, FY2019 (to Rs 3,162.1 billion or 8.2 percent of GDP) compared with Rs 3,076.2 billion (8.9 percent of GDP) in the same period last year. Sluggish growth in overall tax collection came mainly from slow FBR tax collection (see below for detailed analysis of FBR taxes) Within overall tax revenue, federal taxes grew by 2.8 percent during the period under review against 13.5 percent growth during same period of last year. FBR tax collection increased to Rs 2,704.5 billion (7.0 percent of GDP) during first nine month of CFY compared with Rs 2,627.6 billion (7.6 percent of GDP) in the same period of FY2018. Provincial tax revenue registered a growth of 2.8 percent during Jul-Mar of CFY against 21.4 percent during the same period last year. Non-tax revenue declined by 16.7 percent (during Jul-Mar, FY2019) from Rs 506.2 billion to Rs 421.6 billion. Major factors responsible for this sharp decline in non-tax revenues include negative growth of SBP profit which declined by 3.5 percent as depreciation of rupee had a strong effect on rupee income, negative growth of 33.7 percent in mark-up payments (PSEs and others) and a 4.2 percent fall in dividends received from PSEs and other investments. Total expenditures increased to Rs 5,506.2 billion (or 14.3 percent of GDP) during first nine months of CFY compared with Rs 5,063.3 billion (14.6 percent of GDP) during the comparable period of last year. This implies a growth of 8.7 percent in expenditure during Jul-Mar, FY2019 against the growth of 15.5 percent in the same period last year. Current expenditures grew by 17.7 percent (to Rs 4,798.4 billion (or 12.4 percent of GDP) compared with Rs 4,075.4 billion (11.8 percent of GDP) in the same period of last year. Federal and provincial government current expenditures grew by 19.9 and 13.7 percent, respectively compared with 8.8 and 22.0 percent during same period last year. Share of federal and provincial current expenditures in total current expenditures stood at 66 and 34 percent, respectively. The increase in federal government’s current expenditure was mainly on account of increase in interest payments, which grew by 24.4 percent to Rs 1,459.2 billion during Jul-Mar, FY2019 compared with Rs 1,172.8 billion during same period last year. Growth in interest payments was caused by continued increase in stock of public debt (both domestic and external), large increase in interest rates and a sharp depreciation in exchange rate. Defence expenditures grew by 24.2 percent against a growth of 16.5 percent last year. This acceleration in defence expenditure of heightened security concerns in the region. During JulyMarch, FY2019 subsidies reached Rs 96.8 billion, against Rs 88.7 billion during same period of FY2018, posting a growth of 9.2 percent. 57
  89. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Development expenditures (excluding net lending) decreased to Rs 655.9 billion during Jul-Mar FY2019 compared with Rs 993.3 billion last year – a decline of 34.0 percent. PSDP spending witnessed a negative growth of 37.9 percent, with federal expenditure declining by 14.5 percent and provincial by 52.2 percent. To finance the higher fiscal deficit, the government mobilized financing of Rs 524.5 billion from external resources, which was at about the same level as last year. Another Rs 1.4 trillion were mobilized as borrowing from the domestic banking system and from public (mainly through national savings schemes) and some other non-bank resources. Banking system contributed domestic financing during the first nine months of FY2019 was 46 percent higher than last year. External resources contributed a little more than one quarter (27 percent) of total financing, banking system 41 percent and non-bank sources the remaining 32 percent. Structure of Tax Revenue Over the years, narrow tax base, large number of concessions and exemptions, tax administration challenges and weak tax compliance resulted in a low tax to GDP ratio. In this connection, the present government is aiming to introducing measures to remove these weaknesses and disincentives in the tax system. Fig-4.4: Tax - to-GDP ratio 16 13.9 14 12 10.2 9.8 10.2 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 12.6 12.4 FY2016 FY2017 12.9 11.0 10 8 6 4 2 0 Federal FY2015 Provinces FY2018 FY2019B.E Total The government intends to implement such fiscal reforms that will ensure an efficient and fair tax system which will be proficient to generate sufficient revenue to meet a large portion of public expenditure and investment needs, leading to a decline in fiscal deficit and falling debt-to-GDP ratio (Box: I). Within FBR tax collection, direct taxes posted a growth of 14.3 percent in FY2018 as against a growth of 10.4 percent in FY2017. The pace of growth remained higher due to growth in withholding taxes (WHT), collection on demand (CoD) and voluntary payments (VP). For FY2019, direct tax expected to be higher by 12.9 percent than last year actual collection or amounted to Rs 1,735.0 billion (39.1 percent of FBR target). The share of direct taxes in FBR revenue has been rising gradually due to steps taken in the past like introduction of Universal Self-Assessment Scheme (USAS), promulgation of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 where emphasis was shifted to voluntary compliance, automation of entire business processes and reduction of corporate tax rates from 49 percent to 30 percent in tax year 2018 and 29 percent in 2019 by providing level playing field to the taxpayers. Despite all these initiatives that contributed to increase the tax revenue collection from direct taxes, the share of direct taxes needs to 58

The share of indirect tax to FBR tax collection remained static around 60 percent over the last one decade. For FY2019, the share of indirect tax collection set at 60.9 percent. Within indirect taxes, sales tax posted a growth of 11.8 percent in FY2018 against 2.0 percent increase in FY2017. Strong aggregate demand and pass through of high international oil prices contributed in sales tax collection during FY2018. The share of sales tax which constituted 64.4 percent of indirect taxes during FY2018 reduced gradually from 72.3 percent in FY2014. Similarly, share of sales tax in total FBR tax is gradually coming down since FY2014 from 44.2 percent to 38.6 percent during FY2018. For FY2019, sales tax collection target set at Rs 1,700 billion which is 14.5 percent higher than last year collection and (constitute 63.0 percent of indirect tax and 38.3 percent of FBR tax collection target). The share of custom duty in indirect taxes has increased gradually from 17.6 percent in FY2014 to 26.4 percent in FY2018. It is pertinent to mention that the maximum statutory rates of customs duty have been gradually reduced from 125 percent in FY1988 to 20 percent in FY2016 till date. Consequently, the share of custom duty in FBR tax collection has reduced gradually from 45.7 percent in FY1991 to 15.8 percent in FY2018. Custom duty collection momentum continued with the same pace and registered a growth of 22.5 percent in FY2018 against 22.8 percent in FY2017. High aggregate demand, increase in general income level, high imports, higher commodity prices, exchange rate depreciation and fiscal measures such as regulatory duties on non-essential imports and an increase in additional custom duty by 1 percent led to increase in growth of custom duty.Custom duty collection is estimated at Rs 735.0 billion for FY2019 which reflects an increase of 20.8 percent over last year actual tax collection. On the other hand, the share of federal excise duty in indirect taxes declined by 9.3 percent in FY2018. The tax base of Federal Excise Duty (FED) contracted over the years and now is restricted to only few commodities like cigarettes, cement, beverages, and international travel etc. Share of 4 Year Book 2017-18 FBR, GoP 59
  91. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 FED in total FBR tax collection has also fallen from 10 .1 percent in FY2009 to 5.6 percent in FY2018. FED registered a growth of 7.9 percent in FY2018 compared to 5.2 percent in FY2017. Collection from cement mainly fueled this growth momentum. FED is projected to Rs 265.0 billion which is 24.1 percent higher as compared with actual last year collection. The projected share is 6.0 and 9.8 percent of FBR and indirect tax collection, respectively for FY2019.

For FY2019, FBR annual tax collection target has been set at Rs 4,435.0 billion (11.6 percent of GDP) and 15.4 percent higher than actual tax collection of Rs 3,843.8 billion in FY2018. With revenue collection experiencing significant challenges, the collection target was revised downward to Rs 4,398.0 billion (11.5 percent of GDP) showing an expected increase of 14.4 percent over actual tax collection of FY2018. During the period Jul-Apr, FY2019 FBR tax receipts were only Rs 2,976.0 billion, as against Rs 2,922.5 billion collected during the same period of FY2018, an increase of 1.8 percent.

  92. Fiscal Development Direct Taxes The direct taxes collection decreased by 2 .6 percent during the first ten months of FY2019. The collection has decreased from Rs 1,096.4 billion to Rs 1,067.8 billion. The major reasons for shortfall in collection of direct taxes has been the reduced rates on salary income announced in budget 2018-19, suspension of withholding tax by Honorable Supreme Court on telecom subscription, import compression and adjustment of tax amnesty. Tax-wise details are presented in the following Table: Indirect Taxes The gross and net collections of indirect taxes have witnessed growth of 3.4 and 4.5 percent, respectively.

In this regard, various reforms have been initiated to make FBR a modem and efficient organization for optimization of tax revenues while promoting taxpayers friendly environment in the country. Major reform measures induced in the recent years and to be introduced in coming years are:  Expansion of the Scheme of Differential Taxation for Filers and Non-filer for penalizing Noncompliant without adding any further burden on the compliant In order to increase compliance and enhance the tax revenues, the concept of filers and non-filers have been introduced. The cost of doing business for non-filers have been significantly increased in recent 61
  93. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 years . This step was taken to encourage people to file income tax returns. Differential taxation for filers and non-filers have been introduced and number of filers increased from around 750,000 in FY 2012-13 to more than 1.87 million in FY 2017-18  Rationalizing Corporate Tax Rates To rationalize the import tariff structure and to reduce the general tariff slabs, peak tariff slab of 30% has been reduced to 20%. The existing tariff slabs are 4 with the peak of 20% and floor at 3%. In order to promote tax culture and corporatization, it has been decided to gradually reduce the tax rates for corporate taxpayers other than banks in the following manner Tax year 2013...........................35% Tax year 2014...........................34% Tax year 2015...........................33% Tax year 2016...........................32% Tax year 2017...........................31% Tax year 2018...........................30% Tax year 2019...........................29%  Broadening of Tax Base and Documentation of Economy For Broadening of Tax Base (BTB), FBR has taken several initiatives including use of third party data. Initially, the objective was to incorporate 300,000 new taxpayers in three years. The BTB drive was successful. During the years 2013-14 to 2016-17. FBR issued 596,464 notices and enforced 264,539 income tax returns. As a result of these efforts, the number of income tax return filers which was around 750,000 for the tax year 2012 has been exceeded to 1.87 million in the tax year 2017-18 and would further increase in coming years. To broaden the tax net, different rates of adjustable withholding of income tax for the income tax filers and non-filers on certain transactions have been introduced. These include sales and purchase of immovable property, registration and transfer of ownership of motor vehicle, cash withdrawal from banks and payment of profit on debt and dividend income. The higher rates of tax for non-filers compel non-filers to file returns. FBR has also chalked out a comprehensive plan to broaden the tax base through:          Creation of a central data bank Enforcement of return in the case of all NTN holders Preparation of directory of non-filers deductees Data to be obtained from NADRA, Telecom Cos, Banking Cos, Development Authorities, Schools, Clubs, Hotels etc Data of suppliers/buyers of sales tax returns of 5,000 big companies Raising expenditure on revenue collecting machinery from 0.8% to 1.5% of total revenue Registration of persons subjected to withholding of sales tax Registration of retailers under the new scheme introduced under Special Procedure Rules. Deployment of Technology to Identify Risk Areas to Support Risk Based Audit An audit plan has been reintroduced to accompany the self-assessment scheme and to overcome weak tax compliance. Substantial progress has been achieved for infrastructure upgradation and development with the introduction of the fully Inland Revenue Information System (Iris), which is available to all the field formations. A paradigm shift from simple random selection to Parametric Computer Ballot selection of cases and finally risk based selection in audit has been introduced. Moreover, litigation against General Audit Policies was successfully defended before different Courts of Law. Under the reform initiatives, Draft Audit policy for the Tax Year 2017 is under consideration and will be finalized after due deliberation/consultation with all concerned. Moreover, Risk-based Audit Framework is being devised to ensure a more targeted and focused approach with the help of World Bank. Training modules have been prepared to import Investigative Audit Training to officers with the help of World Bank.  Behavioral Changes In order to promote tax culture, compliance and to dispel the general impression about evading taxation by 62
  94. Fiscal Development individuals having prominent position in the society . FBR has under taken following initiatives for bringing a behavioral change regarding the tax culture perception in the society: a) Publishing Tax Directory of Parliamentarians b) Establishment of Financial Investigation Cell c) Campaign against Tax Evaders  End to End Automation and Facilitation of Taxpayers with increased Use of Information Technology To simplify procedures and minimize contact between the taxpayers and the tax collectors, FBR management has made revolutionary changes in automation of tax procedures. Major achievements include: i. ii. iii. iv. Web Based One Customs (WeBOC) System of Clearance EDI - Electronic Data Interchange National Single Window (NSW) iv. Inland Revenue Information System (Iris)  Current initiatives − Creation of Tax Policy Unit within Ministry of Finance − Identification and scrutiny of evasion by High Net worth Individuals − Administrative measures to increase tax collection by identifying untaxed wealth overseas and by data matching to identify non-filers − Practical steps taken to curb Offshore Tax Evasion (UK and UAE properties, Panama and Paradise Leaks, etc.) and continuous monitoring of such cases − Plaza Mapping at Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad − Launch of Device Identification, Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS) to control smuggling of mobile devices − Introduction of Currency Declaration System and Advanced Passenger Information System at major airports of the country − Discouraging imports of luxurious goods through additional Regulatory Duties (RDs) − Addressing under invoicing by signing MOU with China for exchange of pricing information − Forensic audit in Sugar, Tobacco and Steel Industries to address leakages and tax evasion and in these industries − Implementation of Tobacco Track & Trace System − Resolving pending litigation − Collection of pending arrears identified as collectable arrears − Resolving 1.2 million automatically selected cases for audit U/s 214D These reforms will start paying dividends in shape of improved compliance, higher revenue growth and improvement in tax-GDP ratio. The tax revenues have increased significantly during last four years. The collection jumped from Rs 1,946 billion in FY2013 to Rs 3,844 billion in FY 2018, registering an overall growth of 97.5 percent. Similarly, tax-GDP ratio of the country which was just 8.7 in FY2013 jumped to 11.1 in FY 2018. With the help of these initiatives, FBR is moving towards a more efficient tax system; facilitating taxpayers, promoting investment and broadening the tax base in the years to come. It is envisioned that these resource mobilization efforts will result in further improvement of domestic tax revenues in coming years.

The allocation for current expenditures at Rs 2,690.7 billion was 15.6 percent higher than last year. However, allocation for development budget was reduced by 21.7 percent to Rs 850.1 billion primarily in light of inability of provinces to spend a significant portion of last year’s development budget. The share of current and development expenditures in total expenditures remained at 76 and 24 percent, respectively. Overall provincial revenue receipts posted a growth of 8.7 percent to Rs 3,585.3 billion in FY2019 compared with Rs 3,297.0 billion in FY2018. Tax revenue was budgeted at Rs 3,032.0 billion in FY2019, which is 15.2 percent higher over last year and contributes around 85 percent in total revenue.

Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Performance during the period July-March , FY2019 Total revenues of provincial governments increased by 1.5 percent during Jul-Mar, FY2019 to Rs 2,198.3 billion as compared to Rs 2,166.2 billion (growth of 24.8 percent) during the same period of last year. The provincial tax revenues collection posted a growth of 2.8 percent during the period under review and stood at Rs 287.7 billion compared to Rs 280.0 billion last year. This growth primarily came from better collection of stamp duties, followed by excise duties and motor vehicle tax. GSTS which has a major share of 49.5 percent in provincial taxes, decreased by 4.7 percent during the period under review. In contrast, non-tax revenue declined by 48.4 percent during Jul-Mar FY2019 as compared to 113.6 percent growth registered last year. Federal transfers to provinces increased by 7.9 percent during Jul-Mar, FY2019 against 16.0 percent increase during the same period last year. On expenditure front, total expenditures declined by 5.2 percent to Rs 1,906.0 billion during Jul-Mar, FY2019 against Rs 2,010.4 billion (25.8 percent higher) last year. Provincial expenditures registered negative growth primarily due to development expenditures that reduced by 52.2 percent, which offset the sharp growth of 13.8 percent in current expenditures. Provincial expenditures negative growth translated into provincial surplus. During the period JulMar FY2019, overall provincial surplus increased to Rs 291.6 billion as compared to Rs 191.05 billion during the same period last year. For FY2019, provincial surplus is estimated at Rs 285.6 billion. Public Financial Management Reforms in the Federal Government5 The present government has given highest priority to reforms for improvement of governance, economic management and public service delivery. In this regard, the Prime Minister constituted an Economic Advisory Council (EAC) headed by eminent economists and policy experts. One of the sub-groups of the EAC was dedicated to Public Financial Management reforms. Over the past few months EAC has reviewed the Public Financial Management Reforms Strategy and held various meeting to articulate and clarify the roadmap for reforms. These reforms are aimed at improving legal basis, decentralizing authority to improve management, strengthening fiscal discipline, enhancing revenue mobilization, broadening results-based management system, and improving coordination between Federal and provinces on public finance issues. In addition, with support of the World Bank, Ministry of Finance in coordination with other relevant stakeholders, is implementing a Public Financial Management Reform Initiative under a Program for Results (P4R) modality. The main objective of the program is to improve system and process to improve management of public finances.  Assignment Account Procedure: Assignment account procedures have been revised to make them more robust and effective. There scope has now been extended to current budget allocations as well, to cater the needs of autonomous bodies receiving funds from the Consolidated Fund. However, assignment accounts are prohibited for Ministries/ Divisions/ Departments/ sub-ordinate offices/ projects/ organization where government funding is an exclusive source of financing and those who submit their claims to AGPR/AG/DAO. In addition, the Principal Accounting Officers have been required to establish an Internal Audit Cell to improve internal controls. The Revised Procedures explicitly prohibit AGPR/DAO to 5 MTBF secretariat, Budget Wing, Finance Division 66
  98. Fiscal Development endorse any cheque which are drawn in the name of project authorities or drawer /payer for lump sum transfer of funds from the Consolidate Fund to commercial bank accounts. National Bank of Pakistan will also refuse to honor such cheques. The practice of allocating one-line budget will be discontinued to ensure transparency. Besides, the provisions with regard to control of expenditure, recording of expenditure and budgeting and reconciliation have been improved to ensure more accountability and transparency of public expenditure. However, the major intervention introduced through the revised procedures is subAssignment Accounts to facilitate those entities having field/regional offices, projects etc, spreading all over Pakistan. Sub/Assignment accounts will be allowed in exceptional circumstances on the recommendations of concerned Principal Accounting Officer. They will be constituted under the main assignment account and tagged with Customer Information Folio of the main assignment account by National Bank of Pakistan through IT system (core banking). The payments made from Sub-Assignment Account will be reflected in the main Assignment Accounts and expenditure booked accordingly. The process bypasses various internal controls therefore, the Principal Accounting Officer with the assistance of Internal Audit Unit, will ensure compliance of different provisions of the procedure for utmost transparency.  Procedure for Additional Budget through Supplementary Grants: The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in its judgment in Civil Appeal No. 1428-1436 of 2016 defined the Federal Cabinet as “Cabinet”, therefore a procedure has been formulated to seek approval of the Cabinet by the Ministries/Division to obtain additional budget through supplementary grants. Conclusion Pakistan’s fiscal accounts remained under intense pressure over the years owing to poor revenue collection and over run in current expenditures which caused a sharp increase in fiscal deficit in recent years. In addition, they limited the fiscal space available for public investment and expansion of social safety net. The fiscal deficit which was brought down to 4.6 percent of GDP in FY2016 has increased to 5.8 percent and 6.5 percent during FY2017 and FY2018, respectively. Whereas, during first nine months of CFY, fiscal deficit as percent of GDP stood at 5.0 percent as compared 4.3 percent in comparable period last year. The present government has inherited the macroeconomic imbalances, however, the government is cognizant of this challenge and taken up on priority to revamp the fundamentals of economy. Sharp fiscal adjustment is dire need of time. In addition, improving fiscal federalism and strengthening provincial autonomy to rely less on federal transfers and more efforts on increasing revenues would help the federal government to meet additional financing requirements. 67

  100. CHAPTER 5 Money and Credit Monetary policy is an important tool to achieve price stability and manage economic fluctuations . Inflation targeting has emerged as the leading framework for monetary policy over recent decades in many advanced and in low income economies. Monetary policy role after global financial crises has extended as macro prudential policy which required strong institutional framework for financial stability and to achieve twin objectives of price and output stabilization. Pakistan’s economy witnessed a consumption led growth of 5.53 percent during preceding year FY2018. The incumbent government has inherited the economy facing multiple challenges including unsustainable twin deficits that pose serious risks to the economy. Hence, to correct the imbalances in the economy, authorities have taken steps to curtail the fiscal deficits and tighten monetary policy to contain demand. SBP has significantly tightened monetary policy, and allowed greater flexibility in the exchange rate adjustments to curb excessive aggregate demand and move towards macroeconomic stabilization. This trend is in line with the global trends. The global economic expansion has weakened and projected to slow down from 3.6 percent in 2018 to 3.3 in 2019, before returning to 3.6 percent in 2020. Following a notable tightening of global financial conditions during second half of 2018, conditions have eased in early 2019 as the US Federal Reserve signaled a more accommodative monetary policy stance and markets became more optimistic about a US–China trade deal. The US federal funds rate is expected to increase to about 2.75 percent by the end of 2019. Policy rates are assumed to remain at close to zero in Japan through 2020 and negative in the Euro area until mid-20201. SBP has adopted policy rate reversal and gradually increased it by a cumulative 650 bps since January, 2018. Despite increase in policy rate, Weighted Average Lending Rate (WALR) remained stable which translated into healthy private sector credit demand. Credit to private sector (CPS) increased to Rs 775.5 billion during FY2018 against Rs 747.9 billion last year. Significant increase in credit demand primarily came from working capital and fixed investment in the preceding year. During the period July-March, FY2019 CPS increased to Rs 554.7 billion compared with Rs 401.1 billion during same period of last year. Of which working capital loans received the major share and stood at Rs 369.0 billion compared to Rs 215.3 billion last year. While, fixed investment decelerated to Rs 83.1 billion against Rs 148.1 billion in the comparable period last year. 1 World Economic Outlook IMF, April 2019 Table-5.1: Policy Rate w.e.f Jun-13 Sep-13 Nov-13 Nov-14 Jan-15 Mar-15 May-15 Sep-15 May-16 Jan-18 May-18 Jul-18 Oct-18 Dec-18 Feb-19 Apr-19 21st May-19 till date Source: State Bank of Pakistan Policy rate 9.0 9.5 10.0 9.5 8.5 8.0 6.5 6.0 5.75 6.0 6.5 7.5 8.5 10.0 10.25 10.75 12.25

Net Domestic Assets (NDA) is the main contributor to M2 growth. Net Foreign Assets (NFA) point contribution is negative and stood at (-5.5 percent) during the period under review compared with (-3.3 percent) in the same period last year. NDA point contribution has increased to 9.4 percent compared with 7.4 percent last year. NDA point contribution growth partially offset by NFA negative growth, thus overall money supply grew by 3.9 percent during the period under review.

During same period last year, it was contracted by Rs 475.4 billion. Therefore, SBA and scheduled bank’s NFA remained negative during the period under review. During the period 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 NDA of the banking sector registered an expansion of Rs 1,507.7 billion (growth of 9.3 percent) compared with Rs 1,077.2 billion (7.7 percent) during the comparable period last year. NDA of SBP increased by Rs 1,132.5 billion as compared with Rs 661.5 billion during same period last year. The NDA of scheduled banks witnessed an expansion of Rs 375.1 billion compared to expansion of Rs 415.7 billion in the same period of last year. Government sector borrowing and private sector credit mutually impacted NDA growth of the banking system, which was more than offset the contraction in NFA of the banking system. Consequently, broad money growth increased to 3.9 percent during 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 as compared to 4.1 percent during the comparable period last year. Credit to Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) increased by Rs 312.1 billion during the period 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 against Rs 153.2 billion during the same period of last year. Government Bank Borrowing During 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 government borrowed Rs 1,073.0 billion for budgetary support compared to Rs 850.0 billion in the same period last year, of which, government has borrowed from SBP Rs 3,204.7 billion as compared to Rs 1,316.1 billion last year. On the other hand, government retired Rs 2,131.7 billion to scheduled banks against retirement of Rs 466.1 billion in last year.

The fertilizer financing observed net borrowing of Rs 5.1 billion during 01 Jul-31 Mar, FY2019 compared to the retirement of Rs 1.4 billion in the corresponding period of last year. Whereas, financing for sugar sector stood at Rs 2.75 billion against retirement of Rs 1.8 billion in the same period of last year. Retirement of wheat loans are the sole contributor for net contraction in loans for commodity finance, whereas other commodities witnessed net borrowing during the period under review. Momentous increase in wheat loans retirement was due to significant offloading of wheat stocks to international markets on the back of recovery in global prices2. Credit to Private Sector3 Sufficient liquidity in interbank market with low and stable WALR remained instrumental for private sector credit cycle during FY 2018 as it touched to 8 years high credit to GDP ratio to 17.3 percent in FY2018. Private sector credit increased to Rs 775.5 billion in FY2018 compared with Rs 747.9 billion in FY2017. Significant increase in credit demand primarily stemmed from increase economic activities and industrial expansion requirement. Financing requirement for fixed investment grew but at slower pace. Credit demand for fixed investment reached to Rs 227.9 billion in FY2018 against Rs 253.0 billion in FY2017. Textile, sugar, cement and power sectors availed fixed investment loans 2 Wheat price has been increased from $166.6/mt in 2016 to $205.8/mt in March 2019. 3 Islamic Financing, Advances (against Murabaha etc.), Inventories and other related Items previously reported under Other Assets have been reclassified as credit to private sector. 72

Of which working capital credit received share of 66.5 percent of total private businesses loans to Rs 369.0 billion against Rs 215.3 billion in the same period of last year. Strong credit demand for working capital stemmed from manufacturing sector of which major contributors are textiles, food products & beverages, rice processing, refined petroleum, edible oil and ghee, fertilizer and motor vehicles manufacturers. Export oriented industries of textile and basmati rice availed higher credit due to higher raw material prices amid currency depreciation. Furthermore, firms expand their input purchases required to meet strong domestic and exports demand to EU. Significant increase in global crude oil prices also impacted on working capital financing. Automobile sector’s working capital increased largely owing to higher cost of components and accessories due to exchange rate depreciation, imposition of regulatory duties as well as cash margin 74
  106. Money and Credit requirements on the import of completely- and semi-knocked down units5 . Fertilizer sector borrowed Rs 7.7 billion for working capital compared to the retirement of Rs 47.4 billion in the same period last year. Significant increase in fertilizer sector loans is due to revival in production and high input cost during the period under review. Loans for fixed investment decelerated to Rs 83.1 billion during Jul-Mar FY2019 compared to Rs 148.1 billion during the same period last year. Manufacturing related sectors include textile, food product and beverages, electrical equipment and cement alongwith electricity, gas and water supply and real estate activities continued to increase their long term borrowing during the period under review. On the contrary, transport, storage and communication, construction and agriculture sector retired their long term loans during the period under review.

Loans for auto financing usually had highest share in consumer loans decelerated to Rs 17.7 billion during the period under review against Rs 34.6 billion in the comparable period of last year. Similarly, the pace of house building loans slow down and stood at Rs 8.3 billion compared to Rs 15.1 billion in the comparable period of last year. Decelerated financing in house building and auto sector was observed due to government policies of banning on non-filers for purchase/registration on these two sectors through Finance Act, 2018. The restriction was relaxed to locally manufactured motor vehicle having engine capacity not exceeding 1,300 cc through finance supplementary (second Amendment) Bill, 2019. On the contrary, personal loans increased by Rs 9.8 billion compared to Rs 1.8 billion during same period last year. Expansion in personal loans significantly outpaced the deceleration impact of auto and housing financing on overall consumer financing. Monetary Assets Monetary asset (M2) includes currency in circulation, demand deposits, time deposits and resident’s foreign currency deposits. Money supply witnessed a growth of 3.9 percent during 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 compared to 4.13 percent during same period last year. On YoY basis, it posted growth of 9.5 percent as on 26th April 2019. Currency in Circulation (CIC) CIC has seen expansion of Rs 389.5 billion (growth of 8.9 percent) during 01 Jul-26 Apr, FY2019 against Rs 279.0 billion (growth of 7.1 percent) during corresponding period of last year.

Of which, RFCD amounted to Rs 108.9 billion during the period under review compared to Rs 112.9 billion during the comparable period last year. This expansion in banks deposits supports the interbank liquidity.

In fact, government retired Rs 1.4 trillion to scheduled banks on account of sizable amount of government’s paper maturity during the period under review. Excess liquidity and stable WALR reflects in healthy flows of private sector credit. This trend continued during second and third quarter of this fiscal year. The government retired to scheduled banks which more than offset the liquidity requirement derived from both private sector and public sector enterprises. SBP continued with OMOs net absorption to keep the weighted average overnights rate close to policy rate. Accordingly, average outstanding OMOs remained negative by Rs 257.6 billion and Rs 641.2 billion (net absorption) during second and third quarter, respectively against net injection of Rs 1.5 trillion and Rs 1.1 trillion respectively, during the comparable period last year. 76

Similarly, Weighted Average Deposit Rate (WADR) offered on fresh deposits also increased from 3.5 percent in March 2018 to 6.3 percent in March 2019. Resultantly, banking spread which is the difference between the lending and deposit rates increased to 4.4 percent in March 2019 from 3.5 percent in March 2018. Easy liquidity conditions in the interbank market did not allow a complete transmission of the policy rate hike on the WALR helped the private sector maintained its borrowing momentum during the period under review.

The average deposit rate increased from 2.95 percent in March 2018 to 5.01 percent in March 2019. Financial Sector During FY2019, finance and insurance sector posted growth of 5.14 percent. The banking sector has performed well despite some challenges during the CY18. Asset growth of banking sector moderated to 7.3 percent in CY18 compared with 15.9 percent in CY17. This deceleration is primarily stemmed from negative growth in net-investment (mainly in govt. securities) by 9.3 percent due to shift in government’s borrowing from commercial banks to SBP. On the contrary, the net-advances registered a healthy and broad-based growth of 22.1 percent during CY18 (18.4 percent in CY17). 78
  110. Money and Credit The key thrust came from the textile , energy, chemical and food sectors as well as individuals. The deposits, with a growth of 9.6 percent, provided the main funding support to the asset expansion. The deposit growth was mainly contributed by relatively more stable Current Account – Saving Account (CASA) deposits. The asset quality has also improved further with Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) to Advances ratio sliding to 8.0 percent as of end December 2018 (8.4 percent in CY17). Prudent risk-based regulations have also helped the banking sector to maintain a strong solvency profile. Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) improved to 16.2 percent as of end December-2018; well above the minimum required level of 11.90 percent and global benchmark of 10.5 percent.

Financial Development A well-functioning financial system is considered as one of the key foundations for sustainable economic development. Many empirical studies indicate that there is a longrun positive relationship between financial development and economic growth. Financial depth or deepening can be measured through many proxies, but M2-to-GDP ratio is considered as the most comprehensive and commonly used measure. Increasing M2/GDP ratio mainly indicates more developed and efficient financial sector.

  111. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) continued to strengthen its regulatory and supervisory regime during the FY2019. Further, SBP continued to align its regulatory and supervisory structure with the international best practices to strength the financial depth. Box-I: Financial Reforms During July-March FY2019, various regulatory and policy reforms were undertaken by SBP have been highlighted: ➢ Strengthening of Regulatory and Supervisory Environment A conducive regulatory and supervisory environment is essential for the development of financial industry and overall financial stability. SBP remains committed to ensuring up to date regulatory and policy settings. In this regard, the key reforms introduced by SBP are given below: • Regulatory Reforms 1. SBP has initiated various regulatory changes to align Anti Money laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations. The following measures were taken in this regard:  SBP advised all banks/DFIs to conduct biometric verification of all existing accounts till 30 th June 2019. Further, it has been reiterated that banks/DFIs must ensure strict observance of all applicable instructions including identification and verification of customers and their beneficial owner(s) and obtain information on the purpose and intended nature of business relationship 7.  SBP has made various amendments in the existing AML/CFT regulations to cover potential risk areas. These amendments will ensure better understanding for implementation of AML/CFT requirements by banks/ DFIs in areas, including customer due diligence (CDD), correspondent banking, wire transfers/ funds transfers and minimum documents required for opening of accounts by the customers. Further, the existing Prudential Regulations on AML/CFT for MFBs were also strengthened.  In terms of changes made in Fit & Proper Test (FPT) criteria, bank’s sponsor shareholders/beneficial owners, directors, presidents and key executives (appointments subject to FPT) would stand disqualified if they are designated/proscribed or associated directly or indirectly with designated/proscribed entities/persons under United Nations Security Council Resolution or Anti-Terrorism Act 1997.  In order to ensure strict compliance of Statutory Regulatory Orders (SROs) and Notifications issued by the Government of Pakistan under the United Nations (Security Council) Act, 1948 and the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997, detailed guidelines for Exchange Companies were issued on Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS). 2. SBP has issued a comprehensive Governance Framework for Bank’s overseas operations in 2018. The framework will be helpful for the improvement in governance structure and risk management in the overseas operations of banks. 3. To promote mortgage financing, Pakistan Mortgage Refinance Company (PMRC) commenced its operations in 2018. To facilitate mobilization of low cost housing finance in Pakistan, all banks, MFBs and DFIs have been exempted from maintenance of Cash Reserve Requirements (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Requirements (SLR) on funds borrowed from PMRC 8. 4. Following improvements have been made in the foreign exchange regime:  Keeping in view the changing dynamics of the foreign exchange market, SBP has revised the Foreign Exchange (FE) Manual in consultation with different stakeholders. The revisions were introduced in areas related to instructions regarding Authorized Dealers, Foreign Currency Loans, Overdrafts and Guarantees, Forward Exchange Facilities etc.  The facility allowed the importers to make advance payments for imports against letters of credit and invoices which was withdrawn in July 2018. However, the Authorized Dealers (Banks) were allowed to approach SBP for special permission on case to case basis where the matter merits consideration. Moreover, SBP relaxed the above restrictions and allowed import advance payments up to USD 50,000 for import of life saving medicines and devices. 7 BPRD Circular Letter No.18 of 2018 DMMD Circular No. 08 & No. 09 of 2019 8 80
  112. Money and Credit ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢  Subsequently, on the basis of recommendation of Ministry of Commerce and in light of requests received from various industry stakeholders, SBP has further relaxed the import advance payment restrictions and has allowed the Authorized Dealers (Banks) to effect advance payments up to USD 10,000 per invoice on behalf of importers cum exporters for import of raw materials, accessories and spares.  In order to ensure that all outlets of Exchange Companies and Exchange Companies of 'B' Category carry out business activities as per their terms of authorization and public is also made aware of the same, all Exchange Companies were advised to display signboards, stating their names and type of outlet i.e. Head Office, Branch, Franchise, Payment Booth, Currency Exchange Booth etc. Moreover, to ensure efficient and transparent services to customers, instructions have been issued to display updated and detailed Schedule of Charges in their outlets. Supervisory Reforms  Branchless banking (BB) has emerged as a significant part of the wider banking system. Considering its increasing importance in the banking system, relevant inspection framework has been devised to improve supervision effectiveness and identification of risks.  SBP has made strides in development of Risk Based Supervision (RBS) framework. Under the umbrella of RBS, a comprehensive assessment of IT systems of the supervised financial institutions, Information Systems’ Inspection Framework (ISIF) was developed. Moreover, for institutional capacity building, SBP has entered in a Long Term Country Engagement Program (LTCE) with Toronto Centre (TC), Canada from July 2018- December 2020. Reinforcing Measures for Financial Stability and Systemic Risk Assessment  Strengthening Institutional Framework: SBP has established a Financial Stability Executive Committee (FSEC) to discuss financial stability developments and consider formulating policy responses to address relevant issues. In addition, a proposal for creation of a National Financial Stability Council comprising of SBP, SECP and Ministry of Finance is also under consideration.  Systemically important banks are critical for financial stability & overall economy. Owing to their large-scale interconnectedness, their failure can result in heavy losses to the real economy. SBP introduced the Framework for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) in Pakistan in April 2018, for enhanced regulation and supervision, consistent with international standards and practices and dynamics of the domestic financial sector.

  118. CHAPTER 6 Capital Markets and Corporate Sector Economic growth in a modern economy hinges on efficient capital markets which pool domestic savings and mobilize foreign capital for productive investments . A sophisticated capital market supports government and corporate initiatives, finances new ideas and facilitates the management of financial risk, thereby ensuring that the funds are used for the pursuit of socioeconomic growth and development. In particular, there are two categories of financial instruments in which markets are involved: equity securities (also known as stocks) and debt securities (also known as bonds). Both of these instruments are issued for medium-term and long-term durations, usually having terms of one year or more. These financial assets induce savers to lend to the government and businesses, leading to an expansion of trade and industry in both public and private sectors. Two types of markets exist for these instruments, the primary and the secondary markets. In primary markets, stocks and bonds are issued directly from companies to investors, businesses and other institutions. In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among investors or traders. Over the past few decades, globally there has been an upsurge in capital market activity, mainly contributed by the emerging markets. This suggests the growing recognition of the capital market as a tool for fast-tracking economic progress in developing economies. In Pakistan, the capital markets consist of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL), the Central Depository Company (CDC), and the Pakistan Mercantile Exchange Limited (PMEX). The Securities Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) serves as a regulatory body for smooth functioning of these capital markets. Pakistan Stock Exchange Performance Pakistan entered a new era of equity trading after merger of Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), Islamabad Stock Exchange (ISL) and Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) into PSX on January 11, 2016, which enhanced the operating efficiency of Pakistan’s Capital Market and provided all players with a single, deep liquidity pool and fully integrated national equity trading platform. This merger, alongside other SECP reforms and Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)’s classification of Pakistan as an Emerging Market in June 2016, has increased interest in Pakistan’s financial markets in the last couple of years. The PSX index has increased from 33,229 points as on January 1, 2016, to 38,649 as on March 31, 2019, a rise of 16 percent. Fiscal year 2016-17 witnessed steep rise in the index, peaking at 52,876.46 on May 24, 2017; however, it could not be sustained, and the index recorded an overall oscillating trend during fiscal year 2017-18. The start of new fiscal year 2018-19 witnessed the market again gaining momentum, reaching the highest point of 43,557 on July 30, 2018, after which it started moving down, and reaching period’s lowest closing point of 36,663 on October 16, 2018. The behaviour might be linked to new government’s policy actions in the form of regulatory
  119. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 measures and exchange rate depreciation to correct the underlying imbalances in the economy , particularly fiscal and current account deficits alongside overheating of the economy. The index saw rising trend after business-friendly policies were introduced in the mini-budget of January 2019, though Indian incursions in Pakistani territories on February 26, 2019, and subsequent border tensions led to a decrease in confidence in the market, and index closed in at 38,649 points on March 31, 2019, whereas market capitalization was Rs.7,868.6 billion. The average daily value traded (T+2) in the first nine months of FY 2019 was Rs. 7.2 billion and the average daily turnover was 170 million shares. The average daily trade value in futures was Rs. 2.9 billion and the trading volume was 71 million shares during the period. The total funds mobilized between July 2018 and March 2019 in the national stock exchange amounted to Rs. 22,350 million, as compared to Rs. 14,222 million in the corresponding period last year. This comprised of capital of new listings totaling Rs. 1,467 million, debt amount listed totaling Rs. 14,000 million and right issues equating Rs. 6,884 million.

The law provides compensatory remedy for all such accident victims as provisions contained in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 make it compulsory for all the motor vehicles owners to have the Motor Third Party Liability Insurance cover. The Insurance Division put forward a proposal to amend the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 for smooth implementation of the Motor Third Party Liability Insurance Scheme to compensate the Road Accident Victims, thereby addressing the following issues: i. To introduce “No Fault Option” whereby the claim for death or bodily injury shall be payable to the victims of the road accidents or their legal heirs without obtaining any court’s order and irrespective of the fact as to whether or not the insured person was at fault 96
  128. Capital Markets and Corporate Sector ii . To increase compensation limit in case of death from Rs.20,000 to Rs.500,000 iii. To introduce compensation limits separately for bodily injuries  Proposal to exempt life and health insurance from Sales Tax: The SECP has taken up the issue of imposition of sales tax on life and health insurance with the provincial revenue authorities with the aim to create conducive and business friendly environment for the insurance industry in Pakistan. From June 30, 2018 onwards, the Sindh Revenue Board withheld exemption from sales tax on the life and health insurance and Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) also levied the sales tax on these segments. These measures were perceived as counter-productive and inhibiting by the insurance industry, therefore, the industry association raised the matter with SECP Policy Board, following which, the proposal to exempt life and health insurance from sales tax has been submitted.  Proposal to revoke levy of stamp duty from insurance: The National Financial Inclusion Strategy, Technical Committee on Insurance (NFIS – TCI) formed in pursuance of National Financial Inclusion Strategy launched by the Government of Pakistan in 2015 has proposed to revoke the levy of stamp duty from insurance with the objective of enhancing financial inclusion and ease of doing business.

Currently, there are two CRAs in Pakistan i.e. the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited (PACRA) and JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (JCR-VIS). PACRA was the first CRA in Pakistan, established in 1994, whereas JCR-VIS was established in 1997. Since then it has been a two-player market and both CRAs have maintained a balanced market share over the years. Both the CRAs have had worked with international CRAs, as joint ventures/technical partners such as Fitch Ratings and Japan Credit Rating Agency Limited etc. and are members of Association of Credit Rating Agencies in Asia (ACRAA). In Pakistan, CRAs have developed a comprehensive state of rating products, covering the following: S.No 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

  133. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Notification as Internationally Recognized Credit Rating Agency : Recently, SECP has notified Islamic International Rating Agency (IIRA), Bahrain, as internationally recognized foreign credit rating institution, under regulation 4(g) of the Credit Rating Companies Regulations, 2016 for the purpose of entering into joint venture or technical collaboration arrangement with any credit rating company in Pakistan. International Relations The SECP is aggressively working with international development institutions and regulatory standard setting organizations to enhance and build international relations, improve legal and regulatory framework in line with international best practices and to improve bilateral and multilateral cooperation with international counter-part regulatory authorities. Following are some of the important development in this regard:  The World Bank has conducted, under the Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) program, Pakistan’s assessment of corporate governance based on self-assessment carried out by the SECP. After completion of review by the World Bank team, the report was finalized after multiple rounds of discussions with SECP. The assessment noted considerable improvements in implementation of OECD Corporate Governance Principles in Pakistan primarily owing to reforms introduced through the Companies Act, 2017 and the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2017. The report was launched jointly by the World Bank and SECP on March 11, 2019 and released by the World Bank on its official website on March 25, 2019  To further enhance investor confidence in capital markets, SECP is working with SBP on Consumer Protection and Financial Literacy (CPFL) Review conducted by World Bank in 2014. The review has provided a detailed assessment of the institutional, legal, and regulatory framework, in four segments of the financial sector including banking, microfinance and securities. A self-assessment to introduce required legal and regulatory has also been initiated against “Good Practices for Financial Consumer Protection” published by the World Bank in 2017  To further enhance investor confidence in capital markets, SECP is working with SBP on Consumer Protection and Financial Literacy Review conducted by World Bank in 2014. The review has provided a detailed assessment of the institutional, legal, and regulatory framework, in four segments of the financial sector including banking, microfinance and securities. A selfassessment has also been initiated against “Good Practices for Financial Consumer Protection” published by the World Bank in 2017. This assessment will help to introduce required legal and regulatory reforms particularly for microfinance institutions  With support of the World Bank, self-assessments of Pakistan’s Financial Market Infrastructures which includes National Payment System(under the purview of SBP) and Securities Settlement System, Central Counter Party and Central Securities Depository(under the purview of SECP) was carried out. The respective self-assessments have been discussed with the World Bank team and completed accordingly  The SECP, in collaboration with the National Accountability Bureau, is contributing to the country review of Pakistan on implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) undertaken by the international assessors  Pakistan being a signatory to the OECD Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters –which entails combating tax evasion through automatic exchange of information on residents’ assets and incomes – the SECP is working for implementation of the Common Reporting Standard Rules issued by the Federal Board of Revenue, in its regulated sectors 102
  134. Capital Markets and Corporate Sector  The SECP is in validation process for its accession to the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) MMoU. The IAIS MMoU is a global framework for cooperation and information exchange between insurance supervisors. SECP is expected to complete this within 2019 Competition Commission of Pakistan Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) is an independent quasi-judicial, quasi-regulatory statutory body that implements the Competition Act, 2010 (‘the Act’). The Commission is mandated to “provide for free competition in all spheres of commercial and economic activity and to enhance economic efficiency and protect consumers from anti-competitive behavior”. Commission’s work can be classified into the following two broad categories: enforcement and advocacy. Enforcement: The Section 3 of the Act, i.e. ‘Abuse of Dominance’, prohibits businesses with significant market power from abusing their dominant position. Section 4 of the Act i.e. ‘Prohibited Agreements’ prohibits undertaking or associations of undertakings from entering into any agreement, which lessens competition in the relevant market. Section 10 of the Act prohibits undertakings from ‘Deceptive Marketing Practices’ and Section 11 for ‘Approval of mergers’, all transactions that meet certain threshold must be approved by the commission. Advocacy: Under Section 29, various competition advocacy activities are undertaken, and under Section 28 of the Act market studies are carried out to promote competition in the economy. During July’18-Mar’19, the commission received 20 formal complaints, issued 23 show cause notices, conducted 17 hearings, passed 14 orders and granted 68 exemptions to various undertakings. In this duration, the commission issued 2 policy notes: (i) Amendments in the Civil Aviation Authority's order on flight catering services at CAA Airports, (ii) Anti-competitive concerns raised as a consequence of amendment made to section 28 of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Public Private Partnership Act, 2014. Two opinions were issued during this period: (i) Opinion on Real Estate Sector of Pakistan, (ii) Opinion on Competition Concerns in the Automobile Sector. Research studies on the ‘Road Construction Sector’ and 'LNG' were also finalized. The CCP imposed a penalty of Rs. 68.25 million on several undertakings for anti-competitive conduct under the Competition Act. It approved 50 merger orders in oil and gas, power, IT, cement, manufacturing, sugar, food and automotive sectors. United Nations Conference on Trade And Development (UNCTAD) elected CCP chairperson to preside over the “Third Session of Inter-governmental Group of Experts on Consumer Protection Law and Policy” in Geneva, Switzerland during the month of July 2018 by virtue of which Pakistan became chair at the UNTAD for the year 2018. Under competition advocacy, to promote competition culture in the economy, three sessions with government and private sector were held targeting key stakeholders. To introduce Competition Law in Pakistani universities, under the ‘Competition Advocacy Academia Drive’, two sessions in different universities were conducted. Moreover, the CCP is working with the World Bank for assessing and strengthening the competition regime in Pakistan. National Saving Schemes Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) remained in the process of restructuring and transformation in the Fiscal Year 2019. In this regard, the achievements made in the first nine months and initiatives in the pipeline are as under: 103
  135. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 IT Transformation : Starting from 2002-03, National Savings has gone a long way towards computerization and automation of its processes. Out of 375 National Savings Centers (NSCs), 222 have been computerized. In the last one year, some more milestones have been achieved for transformation of the organization into an Information Technology enabled entity. i. A data center has been established at National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) and now 205 NSCs are connected to centralized location through Wide Area Network (WAN) whereas NTC is working for provisioning of connectivity at remaining NSCs. ii. CDNS Main Application System has been upgraded into state-of-the-art Business Application Solution and deployed at 35 National Savings Centers while remaining NSCs are in the process of migration to the centralized architecture by using the newly upgraded Business Application Solution. The aforesaid achievement has enabled CDNS for provisioning of advance, efficient and value-added services to its customers using Alternative Deliver Channels (ADCs) i.e. Debit/ATM Cards, etc. iii. Protocols have been laid down with National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) for obtaining Verisys and Biosys, which are necessary in the new digitized set up of the organization. iv. Vendor has been selected for providing the card (ATM/Debit Card) solution for CDNS. v. Agreement with 1Linkhas been signed for providing connectivity with banking sector/ATM operations. Achievement of Annual Targets: CDNS, being the foremost institution providing the avenue to general public to park their savings has been able to not only achieve the targets assigned but also surpassed by a big margin. As of 30.04.2019, the CDNS has achieved 213 % of the Gross and 191% of proportionate targets. Initiatives in the Pipeline: 1) Sharia Product of National Savings There was a persistent demand of Sharia compliant product and CDNS has responded to it and has developed its first-ever Sharia Compliant product called Sarwa Islamic Savings Account (SISA) for those who desire to invest only in the Sharia-compliant scheme of CDNS. The Draft rules for it have been printed in the Gazette of Pakistan and after approval of the Cabinet Committee for Disposal of Legislative Cases (CCLC) and the Federal Cabinet, the proposed SISA Scheme will be introduced across the country. 2) Overseas Pakistanis Savings Certificates (OPSCs) The Pakistani diaspora abroad wanted to have a secure investment channel for their savings while Government of Pakistan, in order to increase more also looked for bringing remittances into formal money channels which were mostly coming via informal channels. In this regard, to fill the void, OPSCs has been designed as a product by CDNS to be launched for Overseas Pakistanis only. It will be launched initially in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market and then other countries. The Agreement with Manger To the Issue (MTI) has been almost finalized. Being a scripless security, OPSCs will be offered in both the US$ and rupee currencies. It is expected that they will be launched in the Fiscal Year 2019-20. 3) Launch of Rs. 100,000 Premium Prize Bond (Registered) After successful launch of Rs.40000, Premium Prize Bond (Registered) National Savings is in 104
  136. Capital Markets and Corporate Sector the process of launching another registered prize bond for Rs . 100,000 4) Scripless issuance and introduction of registered Prize Bonds amongst all denominations of Bearer Bonds In collaboration with SBP, National Savings is in the process of introduction of registered scripless prize bonds amongst all denominations. The registered prize bonds will be a step towards documentation of the economy while providing facility to the general public. 5) Debit Card Launch & Membership of 1Link System In near future National Savings is launching ATM Debit Cards with the support of the Karandaaz Pakistan Conclusion During FY 2019, the performance of stock markets presented a mixed trend between July and December, largely due to macroeconomic adjustments undertaken by the incumbent government to correct underlying imbalances in the economy. However, the PSX-100 index resumed its momentum from the start of January 2019 following incentives given in the Finance Bill 2019 for investment promotion. Later, the upsurge was halted as uncertainty prevailed in the market because of postFebruary 26 stand-off at the border with India escalating military operations ahead of the General Elections. However, staff-level agreement has been reached with the IMF for a bailout program, which will help in restoring the eroded confidence in the market that would allow an increased interest in the equity and debt markets of the country. 105

  138. CHAPTER 7 Inflation Inflation is a persistent change in the prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time . It is generally believed that persistently high inflation hurts economic growth and erodes the value of local currency. It has a diverse effect on perceptions and expectation of different segments of society and therefore has a differential impact on decision-making of different economic agents. Historically, Pakistan economy has seen ups and down in inflationary trends. 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 CPI 17.03 Food Non-Food Source: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 2018-19 (Jul-Apr) 2017-18 (Jul-Apr) 2017-18 2016-17 2015-16 2014-15 2013-14 2012-13 2011-12 2010-11 2009-10 2.86 2008-09 %Change Fig-7.1: Historical Trend of CPI, Food & Non-Food (2007-08=100) Years A persistent increase in the fiscal deficit during the last two years has been an important factor adding to demand pressures in the economy. During FY18, development expenditures declined, while growth in current expenditures accelerated. Thus, the composition of expenditure shifted from investment to more consumption. In this backdrop of higher economic activity and domestic demand, the growth in imports remained strong. Though all the major commodity groups except for food recorded strong growth, the major contribution to higher imports came from petroleum, machinery, metals, and chemicals. The pass-through of exchange rate depreciation and higher international commodity prices, in addition to strong underlying demand pressures, started to reflect in higher year-on-year inflation from May 2018. The core inflation – excluding volatile food and energy prices – after remaining sticky around 5.5 percent, picked up pace from March 2018 onwards. Yet, the average inflation was slightly lower during the year, primarily due to low food inflation on the back of more than sufficient food stocks available in the country. Closely watching these developments and the likely impact of an expansionary fiscal policy and worsening external accounts on the macroeconomic stability, especially the future inflation path, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) raised the policy rate, reversing the multi-year easy monetary policy. The headline inflation measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI) during the last five years remained on average at 4.8 percent. The preceding fiscal year (FY 2018), CPI inflation was contained to 3.9
  139. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 percent , with an end-period inflation of 5.2 percent, compared to 4.2 percent during FY 2017. The main reason for increase in inflation was the increase in prices of non-food items, which increased by 5.4 percent. The increase in non-food inflation was due to higher energy prices and strong overall domestic demand. Food inflation was only 1.8 percent, due to only a moderate increase in international prices of food items. Low food inflation helped in keeping overall inflation relatively low. The core inflation was recorded at 5.9 percent. The start of the current fiscal year FY 2019, CPI started rising. It increased to 5.8 percent in July 2018 and following three months after remaining sticky at 5 percent increased to 6.8 percent in October 2018. The spike witnessed in October 2018 was due to increase in gas prices. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority revised the retail prices of natural gas for various consumers after keeping them unchanged for about two years. The phenomenal increase of 9.4 percent witnessed in March 2019, while in April 2019 it slows down to 8.8 percent. The pressures on headline inflation are explained by adjustment in prices of electricity and gas, a significant increase in the perishable food prices, exchange rate depreciation along with reversal of global fuel prices. The most dominating push to inflation came from core inflation which has been on a rising trend since March 2018.1 The gradual buildup of domestic demand fanned by the past expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, was the main factor behind rising core inflation, which increased to 8.5 percent in March 2019. The core inflation has dropped to 7.0 percent in April 2019 (after Table 7.1: CPI Inflation 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 remaining above 8 percent during last seven Jul 4.1 2.9 5.8 months) as monetary tightening by the present Aug 3.6 3.4 5.8 government started to take effect.

  140. Inflation During July-April FY2019 headline inflation measured by CPI averaged at 7 .00 percent against 3.77 percent on the back of the prevalence of some underlying demand in the economy as well as continued pass through of exchange rate depreciation and higher fuel prices. The international oil prices continued on their upward trajectory that government has partially passed on the impact. Core Inflation Core inflation is measured through the indices of 43 non-food non energy items. Non-food non-energy (NFNE) inflation is calculated by excluding food group and energy items (Kerosene oil, petrol, diesel, CNG, electricity and natural gas) from the CPI basket.

The downward trend started in March 2019 and in April 2019 it slow down to 7.0 percent, while on average during July-April FY 2019, it is recorded at 8.11 percent compared to 5.60 percent of FY 2018. Considering these developments, the SBP is following a contractionary monetary policy and revised the policy rate to 12.25 percent as on 21st May 2019. The continuous increase in education and healthcare costs kept core inflation higher on average compared to the same period last year. The Table 7.2 shows the core inflation trend year-onyear basis.

The combined income group experienced 7.0 percent against 3.8 percent last year. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is influenced by the landed imports prices and local production. During current fiscal year, there has been a constant increase in WPI. The persistent jump in Wholesale prices is largely the result of the rise in landed prices of imported goods due to exchange rate adjustments along with upward movement of fuel and commodity prices.

In July 2018, the rupee depreciated by 4.4 percent. With a lag of one month, i.e. in August 2018, WPI recorded a double digit growth (of 11.0 percent). Likewise, the adjustments of 16.3 percent made in the value of rupee (vis-à-vis US dollar) between July-April period of FY2019, resulted an increase in WPI of 11.7 percent during the same period, with highest spike of 13.8 percent observed in April 2019. The foregoing analysis shows that there is a definite positive (and perhaps a lagged) impact of depreciation of rupee on WPI-inflation. Nonetheless, depreciation is not the only factor influencing WPI. Increase in domestic energy prices, continued impact of excessive monetization of government debt and some supply-side bottlenecks all contributed to WPI inflation.

Inflation Impact of global commodity prices During the start of current fiscal year , global commodity prices have been driven by a number of factors such as rising US interest rates, an appreciation of the US dollar, growing trade tensions between major economies and financial market pressures in some emerging market and developing economies. There has been an upward trend observed in international commodity prices like sugar increased by 7.7 percent, Palm oil 7.9 percent and soya bean oil 10.3 percent in April 2019 over July 2018. Prices of Crude oil follow boom bust phenomena. During current fiscal year, it reached to $ 80.5 per barrel in October 2018 then lowered down to $ 56.5 per barrel in December 2018 then again increased to $ 71.2 per barrel in April 2019.

At this level, the FFPI would still remain 2.3 percent below its level in the corresponding month last year. Except for the sub-index for cereals, all the other sub-indices firmed in April, led by dairy and meat, and to a lesser extent vegetable oils and sugar. Among the cereals, wheat prices fell the most in April, influenced by prospects for a strong rebound in the 2019 production, amid large exportable supplies. Maize prices were also lower, mostly because of expectations of larger South American crops. By contrast, FAO's rice price index was generally stable in April, amid diverging trends across the various market segments and origin. Fig-7.6: FAO Food Commodity Prices 113
  145. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Conclusion The rising input costs on the back of high utility prices and the lagged impact of exchange rate depreciation likely to maintain upward pressure on inflation in the following month of current fiscal year . The impact will be more visible in non food prices while the food prices likely to remain stable due to effective monitoring of prices and smooth supply of essential items by the federal and provincial governments. The headline CPI inflation is projected to fall in the range of 7.0 to 8.0 percent in FY2019, and it is anticipated to be considerably higher in FY 2020 due to any further adjustment of energy prices, volatility in international oil prices along with rationalization of taxes. 114
  146. CHAPTER 8 Trade and Payments According to World Economic Outlook global growth is expected to be moderate for the year 2019 . Global trade during 2018 remained slow on account of decelerated export orders and global manufacturing activity, particularly in capital goods. Global output and investments are likely to be suppressed in 2019 due to uncertain business environment stemming from expected disorderly Brexit and US fiscal policy. Prices of metal and agricultural commodities also weakened due to concerns about fluctuation in trade and growth. However, if these differences are resolved without any further trade barriers and softener financial situation is observed then growth could be lifted up. Major economies, like US and China, involved in trade tension have affected almost 2.5 percent of global trade says World Bank Report. In contrast, some developing economies may be beneficiaries of trade diversion as prices of these targeted goods may rise in US and China. The Year 2019 is proving to be a very hard for global growth which is projected to slowdown to 3.3 percent in 2019 from 3.6 in 2018. Leading global institutions and agencies including IMF and World Bank are continuously downgrading their global growth projections. Developed and developing economies are finding it hard to stay on the upward trajectory of growth. Recession is silently cannibalizing the growth targets. Global trade has been at a historic low since the recession in 2008, declining to -3 percent in January 2019 from 11 percent in January 2018. Fig-8.1: Pakistan's Export Growth vs. Global Exports (Jan 2018-Jan 2019) 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 11% 5% 0% -3% -5% Dec Nov Oct Jul Aug Sep Pakistan Jan (2019) World Jun May Apr Feb Mar -10% Jan China’s exports declined by 21 percent in February 2019. India’s export declined from double digit 18 percent in October 2018 to 2 percent in February 2019. Bangladesh’s exports declined from 55 percent in October 2018 to 7 percent in January 2019. Indonesia and Thailand have posted negative growth since the onset of the muted recession. The global demand is falling which clearly indicates waning consumer and business sentiment. Protectionist measures, trade tensions, ineffective stimulus packages, geopolitical uncertainties may hurt future growth. Balance of Payments Pakistan witnessed the highest export of US$ 25.1 billion in 2013-14. However, in subsequent years exports have declined considerably. This declined started from financial year 2014-15 when an international commodity slump set in. This was compounded by structural supply side constraints including energy shortages, high input costs and an overvalued exchange rate. From financial year 2014 to 2016, exports declined by 12.4 percent. Exports growth trend over this period was similar to the world trade growth patterns.
  147. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 In FY2018 , global economic changes like increased oil prices (60.06 $/brl), trade protectionism and regional frictions affected many developed and developing economies including Pakistan. However, in Pakistan this situation was aggravated due to insufficient FX reserves together with increased import bills, deteriorating trade balance and stagnant remittances. During FY2018 Pakistan’s exports picked up and reached to US$ 24.7 billion showing a growth of 12.57 percent over previous year FY 2017. Imports on the other hand also increased by 16.25 percent and touched the highest figure of US$ 56.6 billion. As a result the trade deficit widened to US$ 31.8 billion which was the highest since last ten years. Historically remittances have been providing support to sustain current account deficit as a buffer against the trade deficit with average growth rate of 7.7 percent during last five years. Current account deficit widened to US$ 3.1 billion in FY2013-14 to US$ 19.89 billion in FY2017-18 depicting the increase of US$ 16.8 billion. CAD was highest by 6.3 percent in FY2017-18 as a percentage of GDP. However, the present government took this challenging issue and focused on anchoring the increasing import bill by restricting unnecessary imports which started eroding the competitive edge of domestic industry including the exports units. A number of measures have been taken in this regard which helped in reducing the import bill and simultaneously formed a stimulus for sustainable economic growth by improving competitiveness and efficiency of the industry especially export oriented and import substituting units and reducing anomalies and cost of doing business. Further, macro adjustment policies, such as monetary tightening, exchange rate adjustments, cuts in development spending, started paying dividends. The current account deficit declined by a sizable amount of 26.9 percent on year on year basis US$ 11.58 billion during Jul-Apr FY19. The impact played out through both goods and services imports, which declined by 4.9 percent and 18.58 percent respectively during the period. Major support to the current account also came from an 8.45 percent increase in workers’ remittances, led by higher inflows from advanced economies. However, exports emerged as a cause for concern, with receipts declining 1.9 percent during Jul-Apr FY19.

Pakistan’s exports during the period July-April (FY 2019) stood at US$ 20.01 billion compared with US$ 20.49 billion during the corresponding period of FY 2018. It reflects a 1.9 percent decline in dollar terms. Pakistan’s imports during the period July-April (FY 2019) stood at US$ 44.03 billion compared with US$ 46.302 billion during the corresponding period of FY 2018. It reflects a 4.9 percent decrease in dollar terms. Overall, the trade deficit has decreased by 7.28 percent in the JulApr FY2019 to US$ 23.93 billion from US$ 25.81 billion in the same period last year. Current Account Pakistan’s current account deficit has seen containment in FY 2019. Current account deficit reached to US$ 11.586 billion in July-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 15.864 billion in the same period last year showing a contraction of 26.9 percent. This is mainly attributed to healthy remittances 116
  148. Trade and Payments inflows and low import bills . On the import side, the entire decline of 4.9 percent in payments during the period July-April FY2019 came from non-energy products. As early harvest CPEC power projects reached completion, an expected decline in import payments for power generation and electrical machinery was noted. At the same time, cuts in development spending and a general slowdown in economic activities reduced the demand for imported construction-related items, particularly construction machinery and iron and steel. Further, support came from 18.4 percent decline in transport import payments. Lower purchases of aircraft and related parts, and old ships for ship breaking, were mostly responsible. On year on year basis, current account deficit has been continuously shrinking. However, month on month shows that it amounted to US$ 1241 million in April FY2019 as compared to US$ 871 million in March FY2019. Decreasing exports and low remittances, specifically from EU and UAE, pushed up CAB in April FY2019.

  149. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Trade and Services Balance Trade account especially services trade presented a positive picture in FY2019 . After a lackluster performance in first four months of FY2019, trade in goods started picking up the pace. This was mainly due to the macro adjustment policy measures taken by the present government to curb imports. Goods Trade balance shrunk by 7.3 percent in Jul-Apr FY2019 to US$ 23.93 billion as compared to US$ 25.81 billion in the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, services sector remained on positive trajectory throughout FY2019. Major shift in current account balance also came from services sector which contracted by 36.18 percent to US$ 3.217 billion during JulyApril FY2019 as compared US$ 5.04 billion in the same period last year. Export of services remained stable but a visible decline in services import has been observed in transport, travel, financial services and construction sector, specifically.

The remittances registered a significant growth of 8.45 percent during July-April FY 2019 as compared to 5.36 percent last year and reached to US$ 17.875 billion during first ten months of current fiscal year against US$ 16.482 billion during the same period last year. On the back of initiatives taken by the government and the trend observed, it is expected that target of US$ 21.2 billion for FY 2019 is likely to be achieved.

  150. Trade and Payments The major share of remittances are from Saudi Arabia 23 .36 percent(US $ 4175.32 million), U.A.E 21.19 percent (US $ 3786.96 million), USA 15.6 percent (US $ 2786.35 million), U.K 15.41 (US $ 2755.52 million) , other GCC countries 9.61 percent ( US $ 1717.86 million), Malaysia 7.06 percent ( US $ 1262.67 million ), EU 2.72 percent ( US $ 485.89 million) and other countries 5.07 percent. The remittances during July-April FY2019 have declined by 9.28 percent from EU countries, 5.40 percent from other GCC countries. However, a marginal increase in remittances has been observed from Saudi Arabia, 2.08 percent as compared to 9.5 percent decline in the same periods last year. However, visa fee reduction from the Kingdom is likely to boost up the inflows in coming years. A strong increase from USA and UK provided a major push to inflows. Remittances increased by 21.82 percent form USA and 16.59 percent from UK. Economic turnaround, declining unemployment and rising wages in the US and the UK in the recent past have supported inflows from these countries. Besides the US and the UK, inflows from Malaysia also supported overall remittances, with inflows amounting to US$ 1.262 billion in July-April FY2019. Over the last couple of years, Malaysia has been facing workforce shortage in labor-intensive sectors, such as manufacturing, construction and agriculture. To address the problem, Malaysia raised the wages for both local and foreign workers in its minimum wage policy of 2013. Following this, the number of Pakistanis going to Malaysia for work has been rising since 2014-15, leading to increase in remittances from the country. To further enhance the remittances the government has taken number of initiatives given in the following box. Box-I: Initiatives Taken During FY2018-19 to Increase Home Remittances  Extension in home remittance services In order to further facilitate overseas Pakistanis/resident Pakistanis, banks are allowed to affect Business to Customer (B2C) and Customer to Business (C2B) transactions through foreign correspondent entities under their existing/new home remittance agency arrangements. This extension was announced in October 2018. Resultantly, under B2C transaction freelance payments and pension payments can be received upto a certain threshold by resident Pakistanis from overseas companies. Whereas overseas Pakistanis will be allowed to pay their Utility Bills, School fees, Hospital charges, Superstores bills, Insurance fees, Credit Card Payments, purchase/pay installment of property such as residential plots, flats and buildings etc.  Incentive Scheme for financial institutions In order to encourage domestic banks/microfinance banks/exchange companies providing home remittance disbursement services, a performance based scheme has been developed to enhance their marketing/promotional/awareness efforts for home remittance products and services. The Government of Pakistan (GOP) shall reimburse these expenses through SBP as given below: Home Remittances mobilized by domestic Banks/MFBs/ECs (in equivalent US$) Marketing Expenses Reimbursement Home remittances exceeding 15 percent growth in FY 2018-19 compared with the levels achieved in FY 2017-18. Rs. 1 per each incremental USD mobilized over 15 percent growth  Rationalization of M-Wallet Scheme: Beneficiary of remittances were offered Rs. 1 airtime per USD received in their M-Wallet under the ‘Promotion of Home Remittance Scheme through M Wallet’ introduced in 2017. In order to further promote Home Remittances through BB Channel, the incentive of airtime has been increased from Rs. 1 to Rs. 2 against each USD received as home remittances through M-Wallet. The amendment was made in December 2018.  Second Pakistan Remittance Summit Second “Pakistan Remittance Summit 2019” was held on April 2019 in Dubai, UAE. This Summit was organized by the top five remittance receiving banks in Pakistan under the patronage of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and Pakistan Remittance Initiative (PRI). The summit shed light on the importance of workers’ remittances for the development and support of 119
  151. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Pakistan ’s economy and the measures being taken by SBP/PRI and the banks in Pakistan to increase remittances through official channels.  Media/Awareness Campaign to Promote Remittances through Formal Channels SBP/PRI have launched an awareness/marketing campaign for the promotion of formal channels with the following objectives: I. To inform the remittance customers about the existence and facilities of sending remittances through formal channels II. To position formal channels as the industry front runner in enabling reliable and efficient home remittance transactions through a network of banks, exchange companies and Pakistan Post III. To inform remittance customers that use of Hawala is illegal  Block-Chain Based Remittance Model (From Malaysia To Pakistan) Technology has been a crucial feature in facilitating overseas Pakistanis and their beneficiaries in remote areas. Banks are continuously guided to introduce better and efficient technology based products. It is with the help of Block-Chain technology that wallet-to-wallet remittance service reaches Pakistan from Malaysia instantaneously and in a secure way. Valyou in Malaysia and Telenor Microfinance Bank in Pakistan launched cross-border remittance service through e-wallet platform in January 2019, which is based on block-chain technology developed by Alipay, a subsidiary of ANT Financial.  Reduction in Visa Fee (Qatar and Saudi Arabia) Saudi Arabia has drastically reduced the visit visa fee for Pakistanis from $533 (Dh1, 945) to $90 (Dh328), according to a notification issued by the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Islamabad. Moreover, Qatar is offering Visa on Arrival to all Pakistani Passport holders. Qatar plans to issue work visa to around 100,000 Pakistanis in different sectors. Pakistan offered assistance of Pakistani workforce and professionals in Qatar’s development activities. These measures will increase the workforce in these countries and will ultimately boost remittances. Source: State Bank of Pakistan Capital Account Non produced and nonfinancial assets with net capital transfers are presented in capital account. In Pakistan, capital account did not play a significant role in external sector and remained stagnant over the years. Capital account balance has decreased to US$ 176 million in July-April FY2019 as compared to US $ 305 million in the same period last year. Financial Account The financial account recorded a surplus of US$ 11.32 billion during July-April FY2019 as compared to the surplus of US$ 11.35 billion in the corresponding period. Bilateral inflows from China, Saudi Arabia and UAE helped in uplifting financial condition of Pakistan. This was unlike last year, when Euro and Sukuk bonds with other short-term commercial borrowings had dominated. Official inflows from these friendly countries amounted US$ 9.2 billion between July-March FY2019. This partially offset the decline in net FDI and accelerating outflows from FPI, and also enabled the government to make the debt repayments coming due in the period.

  152. Trade and Payments Foreign Direct Investment Foreign investment is on low growth trajectory . It dropped by 51.7 percent in July-April FY2019 to US $ 1.376 billion as compared to US $ 2.849 billion in July-April FY2018. FDI from China remained at 31.2 percent of overall inflows as compared to 60.5 percent in the preceding year. However, China continued to dominate direct investment followed by UK and Hongkong. A considerable decline in investment from Malaysia has been observed in this period. However, Pakistan has improved its position on ease of doing business index and jumped to 136th position as compared to 147th position last year out of total 190 economies. This will surely attract foreign investors and will boost FDI. Furthermore, Pakistan carried out three reforms during the past year in the areas of starting a business, registering property and resolving insolvency, according to the World Bank’s annual report titled “Ease of Doing Business 2019”. Among regional peers Pakistan ranked behind Bhutan (89), India (77), Nepal (110), and Srilanka (100), only ahead of Bangladesh (176) Maldives (139), and Afghanistan (167). In terms of sectors, construction sector replaced the power sector in attracting highest net FDI of US $ 386.8 million followed by oil and gas exploration US $ 287.3 million and financial business US $ 256.5 million. Power sector being the main contributor to drag down the overall inflows showed a sharp decline of 127.21 percent in July-April FY2019 as compared to the same period last year. This is mainly due to the completion of early harvest CPEC projects. Though there have been increased inflows in electrical machinery and financial business. Yet power sector declined inflows could partially be compensated. The focus of the current government is to improve the investment climate to attract foreign investment in the country. For the purpose, the government has taken different initiatives at the international level. Pakistan has recently signed offshore Gas Pipeline deal with Russia. Similarly, Saudi Arab has shown interest to invest in a new oil refinery in Pakistan's growing deep-sea port of Gawadar which is likely to increase FDI in Pakistan. Moreover, Prime Minister’s recent visits to Malaysia and UAE would also be helpful in attracting more FDI. Foreign Portfolio Investment Foreign portfolio investment account witnessed outflows of US$ 1.27 billion during July-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 2.352 billion inflows in the same period last year. It is worth to be mentioned that previous government had mobilized US$ 2.5 billion in FY2018 by issuing Eurobond and Sukuk in December 2017. That was the main reason of the hump in FPI last year. Amid the decline in foreign investment, external financing from bilateral sources were quite helpful.

Yet it was stabilized with the help of monetary inflows from friendly countries. Foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 15.722 billion till end-April FY2019. This was below than the total reserves of US$ 17.519 billion of the same period last year. Out of this SBP reserves were US$ 8.781 billion, where reserves held with commercial banks were US$ 6.941 billion. A sharp decline in SBP reserves observed in first half of FY2019 when official reserves of SBP declined by US$ 3.02 billion. This decline was mainly due to the unavailability of sufficient FX reserves to finance country’s growing import bill. This was the main contributor of shrinking total FX reserves since net reserves with commercial banks were on a stable path. However, in the second half of FY2019 it picked up the pace. Though the Eurobond and Sukuk had provided some relief to falling FX reserves last year, Pakistan had received US$ 9.2 billion as a financial support from China, Saudi Arabia and UAE between July 1, 2018 and end-March 2019. Moreover, government is about to launch Panda bonds in near future likely to be in the range of US$ 1.3 billion which will help in build up the reserves. Recent positive development of deferred oil payment worth of US$ 3.2 billion from Saudi Arabia will also help easing pressure on reserves and balance of payment. It would become operational from July 2019. Fig: 8.10.

On the other hand, real effective exchange rate (REER) depreciated by 7 percent, driven by both RPI and NEER specifically. Since local currency weakened significantly against all the major currencies during the period. -5 Jul-Mar, FY19 % Change -10 Jul-Mar, FY18 % Change -15 NEER RPI REER Pakistan’s REER index has exceeded the NEER index. Technically, higher REER suggests that prevailing exchange rate has overvalued. The gap arises when the export basket of a country faces higher cost of doing business in a country and hence, losses export competitiveness viz-a-viz it’s trading partners. In the current fiscal year FY2019, as of May 20, 2019, PKR cumulatively depreciated by 18.7 percent against the US$ since end June 2018. In effective terms, up till March 2019, NEER depreciated by 12.1 percent. However, unlike FY2018, recovery in oil prices, increase in energy tariffs, and certain lagged pass-through effect of PKR depreciation in FY2019 widened the gap between Pakistan’s and its trading partners’ inflation. This in turn limits the adjustment in REER, which up till March 2019 has depreciated by 6.1 percent since end June 2018. Nevertheless, these recent adjustments in PKR exchange rate have helped in bringing its real value close to historical trend. It would not only help in reducing the risks arising from the external sector’s vulnerabilities in the medium-term but would also prove to be beneficial to revive much needed recovery in the export-oriented sectors. While the fuller impact of PKR depreciation would take some time to completely unfold (and depends upon both conducive external demand and domestic supply situation), its preliminary affect is already visible from the reduction in external trade deficit, and thus current account deficit 123
  155. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Exports The current government is focusing on making the exports a driver of sustainable economic growth . It is endeavoring to improve competitiveness and efficiency of the industry especially exportoriented sector and import substituting production, reducing structural anomalies and improving trade by increasing institutional efficiencies and reducing cost of doing business. The export target for FY2019 was set at US$ 28 billion. Exports registered a decline of 0.1 percent growth during July-April FY2019. As per PBS data, exports during July-April FY2019 reached to US$ 19.17 billion as compared to US$ 19.19 in July-April FY2018. A slowdown in economic growth in the EU, along with spillovers from US-China trade tensions, led to subdued performance in exports. Textile sector remained the most vulnerable sector in these global headwinds. FY2018 Fig: 8.12 Monthly Exports $ Million FY2019 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 July August September October November December January February March April Monthly analysis shows that global synchronized slowdown has started hitting our economy. After showing some resilience exports started to retreat. However, March 2018 showed a phenomenal growth with US$ 2.2 billion exports in one month so it was expected that the March 2019 might not be that much phenomenal. April 2019 has registered highest export figure in the current fiscal year. It is pertinent to note that exports remained above US$ 2 billion in four months of FY2019. However, overall exports have got dampened due to global headwinds.

  156. Trade and Payments of 2017 , sales tax refunds and duty drawbacks, incentive package (2019) and formulation of Strategic Trade Policy Framework (2018-2023). Government has reduced cost of production of textile sector by abolishing regulatory duty on cotton imports. Moreover, second free trade agreement has been signed with China, providing tariff concessions to 313 items. Pakistan is expanding its marketing and trade promotion campaign to all the major markets. The State Bank of Pakistan has maintained low rates for export refinancing schemes and fixed investment to allow export sector industries to make investments on competitive basis. In order to increase exports, the government has continued the five export oriented sectors including textile, leather, sports goods, surgical goods and carpets - as part of zero rated sales tax regime. Devaluation has surely increased the cost of imported raw materials. However, this has been largely offset by the generous export incentives provided including larger export rebates, withdrawal of import duties on inputs of raw materials and intermediate goods and, more recently, the issuance of promissory notes against refunds due along with subsidies on gas and electricity consumed. All these measures likely to pay dividend with lag effect. Merchandise Exports During July-March FY2019, the exports reached to US$ 17.07 billion as compared to US$ 17.06 billion in the same period last year, which shows a meager growth of 0.1 percent as compared to 11.6 percent growth same period last year. Disaggregated analysis suggest that performance of all the groups including food group, textile group, petroleum group and other manufactured groups remained subdued in the current fiscal year on the account of global headwinds.

Within the food group, export of rice comprises 44.4 percent of total food group declined by 0.5 percent causing a major setback in overall food exports. The quantum drop in rice was 5.0 percent but its value declined by 0.5 percent. This underwhelming picture is attributed to the competition faced by Pakistan from its competitors like Africa and China. Pakistani exporters are facing tough time against Chinese competitors as they are offloading their stock at lower prices. However, to tackle this situation government is taking necessary steps including reclaiming traditional markets besides accessing to new markets. Removal of restriction by Qatar on Pakistani rice export is a step in this direction that will reclaim Pakistan’s share in the global rice market. Moreover, China has agreed to give duty free access to 200,000 tons of rice from Pakistan in the current calendar year. Among other products fruits, capturing the second highest position in food group, posted a growth of 8.7 percent in value during the current fiscal year. Pakistan managed to explore new international markets for this group by participating in Berlin fair. The other important components of food group which registered a positive growth include oil seeds, nuts & kernels, spices and wheat. Sugar exports declined by 68.2 percent on account of the withdrawal of subsidies and completion of earlier announced quotas. Exports of textile manufacturers, which accounts 58.5 percent in total exports witnessed a trivial growth of 0.1 percent and remained at US$ 9.99 billion in July-March FY2019 as compared to US$ 9.98 billion during the same period last year. Within the group, knitwear and bed wear registered a positive growth but it was offset by the decline in cotton yarn and cotton cloth. Low demand from EU and lower unit prices, particularly for knitwear, contributed to the lackluster performance of this group. Textile trade agreements have been signed at Texpo Pakistan 2019 which will support textile exports. Export of the textile items like knitwear comprises 12.6 percent of total exports and 21.6 percent of textile exports increased in both quantity and value by 14.8 and 9.29 percent respectively. Readymade garments with 11.5 percent share in total exports and 19.6 percent share in textile exports registered a positive growth of 2 percent in value and 28.1 percent in quantity. Value-added exports increased due to growing demand and improvement in export competitiveness after exchange rate adjustment. 126
  158. Trade and Payments Cotton cloth having 9 .3 percent share in total exports and 16 percent in textile exports declined by 2.1 percent in value but its quantum increase was 18.1 percent. Bed wear with a share of 10.1 percent in exports and 17.21 percent in textile group, increased both in quantity and in value by 10.3 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively. Cotton yarn has 4.9 percent share in total exports and 8.35 percent in textile group, decreased in both quantity and value by 15.7 percent and 15.4 percent, respectively. Towels having share of 3.4 percent in total exports and 5.88 percent share in textile group, decreased both in quantity and in value by 11.0 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively. Raw cotton having a share of 0.1 percent in total exports and 0.16 percent in textile group, decreased in both quantity and value by 71.2 percent and 71.8 percent, respectively. May be due to declining international cotton prices from 2.15 $/kg in June 2018 to 1.92 $/kg in April 2019. Petroleum group having a negligible share of 2 percent in total exports registered a negative growth of 0.2 percent on account of 7.6 percent decline in petroleum exports. Other manufacturers accounting 14.6 percent of total exports registered a negative growth of 1.5 percent during the period July-March FY2019. Within the group chemical and pharmaceutical products, bearing the largest share in the group, posted a growth of 5.7 percent in value. This is the only category showing significant growth in the group. Leather manufacturers continues to struggle but registered a negative growth of 8.4 percent in value. 21.8 percent decline in value is witnessed in leather tanned while its quantity decreased by 19 percent. Exports of carpets, rugs and mats registered a negative growth of 12.5 percent in value. The acute shortage of electricity, bad law and order, ever-soaring inflation, shortage of skilled labor force and high mark-up rate during last one decade were the major reasons hitting the carpet industry besides causing huge decline in rugs exports. Sports goods decreased in value by 9 percent on the back of 7.35 percent decline in exports of football. Other than these, surgical goods and medical instruments, engineering goods and jewelry posted a negative growth of 1.5, 10.8 and 24.2 percent, respectively. Although Cement export posted a significant growth of 32.8 percent in value and 55.4 percent in quantity during July-March FY2019. Low domestic sale and significant capacity additions paved the way to foreign markets for cement manufacturer. Concentration of Exports Pakistan’s exports are highly concentrated in few items like cotton & cotton manufacturers, leather, rice and few other items. The first three categories of exports account for 69.2 percent of total exports during July-March FY2019 with cotton & cotton manufacturers alone contributing 56.7 percent. Traditionally, the contribution of these three categories was 70.3 percent during the same period last year, and 71.8 percent during FY 2017. The bifurcation of these items in table shows that exports in these few items are the major factor for lower export earnings.

  159. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Direction of Exports Traditionally Pakistan ’s export destinations are concentrated to a few markets. Pakistani exports go to ten countries namely USA, China, UAE, Afghanistan, UAE, Germany, France, Bangladesh, Italy and Spain. Among these countries USA has the largest share of 17 percent in total exports followed by China 8 percent and UK 7 percent. The share of exports to Afghanistan and UAE witnessed a one percent decline during July-March FY2019 as compared to the same period last year. Table 8.10 suggests that all the countries have been on a stable trajectory in terms of export destinations of Pakistan. However, efforts are being made to explore new markets where lots of potential exists. Formulation of Strategic Trade Policy Framework (2019-24) is a way forward towards securing more international markets’ access. Table 8.10 : Major Exports Markets Country 2015-16 Rs.

During the 6th Round of JGBD, held on 10th December, 2018 at Tokyo, Japan, Pakistan proposed that as an interim step, a PTA may be concluded to allow Pakistan level playing field as available to its competitors. Japanese side clarified that, if they were to discuss on possible EPA/FTA, it has to be full-fledged, covering “substantially all the trade”, and covering not only Trade in Goods but also Trade in Services, Investment and rule areas including Intellectual Property and E-Commerce. Based on this understanding, both sides shared the willingness to promote discussion to strengthen and further facilitate bilateral trade. Pakistan-Malaysia The Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) for Closer Economic Partnership between Pakistan and Malaysia was signed on 08-11-2007 at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. It is operational from 1st January 2008. Pakistan exports to Malaysia have increased from US$ 81 million in 2006-2007 to US$ 145.18 in 2017-18 as a result of this FTA. Pakistan-Thailand Pakistan is Thailand's second largest trade partner in South Asia and there is tremendous potential to increase bilateral trade. During the 3rd Session of Pak-Thai JTC, held on 12-13th August, 2015, it was agreed by both sides to enter into Free Trade Agreement. The negotiations on FTA were started in 2015 and so far 9 rounds have been held. Pakistan exports to Thailand have increased from US$ 95 million in 2010-11 to US$185.48 million in 2017-18. Pakistan-Indonesia Indonesia-Pakistan PTA (IP-PTA) was signed on 3rd February, 2012 and has been operationalized w.e.f 1st September, 2013. The Third Review Meeting of IP-PTA was held on 10-11 August, 2017 in Jakarta, Indonesia. During the meeting Pakistan sought unilateral market access on 20 tariff lines of its prime export interest to make the PTA mutually beneficial. As a result of hard negotiation and persistent trade diplomacy, Indonesia agreed to unilaterally provide “zero duty” to Pakistan on these 20 tariff lines. A protocol to give effect to this arrangement was signed during the visit of Indonesian President on 26-27 January, 2018. Pakistan’s exports to Indonesia have witnessed some improvement over the last years. After the above mentioned further concessions, Pakistan’s exports are likely to witness a sizable increase. Pakistan-Bangladesh Pakistan and Bangladesh share the membership of SAARC, OIC and D-8. These are two major Islamic nations of South Asia, a region which is trying to come closer under the ambit of SAARC Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA). Both the countries have been working closely at international fora for promoting regional integration, trade, security and world peace. The volume of trade between Pakistan and Bangladesh has always remained in favor of Pakistan. Pakistan exported US$ 736 million and imported US$ 69 million to Bangladesh in FY2017-18. Box-1: Trade Related Measures taken in first 3 quarters of 2018-19 In the first 9 months of FY 2018-19 following measures have been taken to improve the trade related environment. 1. Trade Policy Measures The Trade Policy Wing of the Ministry has undertaken the following measures to facilitate trade of the country 1.1. Exports Enhancement Measures Government of Pakistan has taken a number of exports enhancement measures that will support positive growth trends. The major interventions are as under: 1.2. Revision of Export Enhancement Package In order to provide long term policy to support and encourage non-traditional exports of the country, the package was extended for another period of three years vide SRO 711 (I)/2018 dated 8.6.2018, i.e. from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2021. 129
  161. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Under this package , new export sectors such as Transport equipment, Auto parts & accessories, Machinery incl. electrical machinery, Furniture, Stationery, Fruits& Vegetables, Meat and meat preparation including poultry have been included. The package is operating under the similar conditions of previous export package. The support through drawback of local taxes and levies will promote product diversification and enhance competitiveness of the exports. Moreover, for market diversification, additional incentive has been provided to promote exports to the non-traditional markets. 1.3. Economic Package to support industrial growth Commerce Division has been working with the industry to develop a comprehensive plan to increase their competitiveness. One of the major impediments for export sectors was its higher duties on the import of raw materials and intermediate inputs. In this regard, a series of consultative sessions were held to identify sectors and products that require immediate relief in terms of reduction in the import duty in their inputs and raw materials. In the first phase, Custom Duties and Regulatory Duties on 236 Tariff Lines (TLs) of raw materials and intermediate products have been reduced. In the second phase, a list of 40 TLs were further incorporated in the Finance Bill 2019 (Supplement-I). In the second phase, tariff reduction plan has been approved for 12 sectors. The amendment in the tariff schedule has been introduced in Finance Bill 2019-Supplement, whereas, the Regulatory import duty for the export-oriented industries have been reduced vide SRO 190(I) 2019 dated 11th February 2019. 1.4. Payment of DLTL and Sales Tax Refund The payment of Export Enhancement Package claims were pending due to which exporters were facing the liquidity crunch. After rigorous consultations with the Finance Division, State Bank of Pakistan and AGPR, a mechanism has been designed to expedite the payments to the exporters. It has been decided that the settlement of outstanding claims of exporters under DLTL/PM package schemes as on 31-12-2018 through cash payment (1/3rd) and issuance of Promissory Notes (remaining 2/3rd). Further mechanism has been developed to facilitate the process. Furthermore, the government has disbursed Rs. 20 billion of Sales Tax Refund & Rs. 10 billion DLTL. 2. Regulatory Measures 2.1. Mechanism for Ensuring Quality and Standards for Imported Goods To address the issue of low quality imports, the Import Policy Order was amended vide SRO 1067 (I)/2017 dated 20th October 2017, to incorporate safety and health requirements/quality standards, proposed against each tariff line, to ensure that quality and SPS standards are complied with on such imports. Furthermore, the government has restricted the import of food items only through Karachi seaport and Land Border Posts i.e. Sost, Chaman, Torkham, Taftan, Wagha, Peshawar and Quetta vide SRO 706 (I)/2018 dated 6.6.2018. These aforementioned ports have the requisite infrastructure and human resource to provide the facility for the import permit after evaluating the health safety requirements by Department of Plant Protection (DPP). 2.2. Policy revision for the import of vehicles under transfer of residence personal baggage and gift schemes In order to prevent the misuse of the scheme intended for Overseas Pakistanis, the existing policy has been revised. Under the revised Policy, the remittance for payment of duties and taxes will originate from account of Pakistani national sending the vehicle from abroad; and the remittance will either be received in the account of Pakistani national sending the vehicle from abroad or, in case, his account in nonexistent/inoperative, in the account of his family member as defined in Appendix-E, Para (1) of the import Policy Order. The decision of the ECC of the Cabinet has been notified vide SRO. 52 (I) 2019 on 15th January 2019. 2.3. Amendments in Export and Import Policy Order, 2016 Commerce Division has made amendments in certain provisions of export and import order 2016 to facilitate the exporters and importers. These amendments have been made after rigorous consultations with private and public sector stakeholders and subsequent approval of the Cabinet. 2.4. Labeling Requirements on import of edible products Under Import Policy Order (IPO) 2016, the import of edible products is subject to, inter alia, the conditions that it is fit for human consumption, has at least 50 percent of the remaining shelf life and in case of meat it is obtained from ‘halal’ animals and slaughtered in accordance with the Islamic injunctions. There was a need that our consumers should be aware of the ingredients of the edible products they consume, keeping in view their safety and belief. Therefore, the following amendments have been introduced in the policy for consumer’s welfare: a. The product has at least 66 percent (2/3rd) of remaining shelf life b. The ingredients and details of the product (e.g. nutritional facts, usage instructions etc.) of the food product are printed in Urdu and English languages on the consumer packaging c. The logo of the Halal certification body is printed on the consumer packaging d. The labeling under (b) & (c) not to be in the form of a sticker, overprinting, stamp or scratched labeling The shipment is accompanied by a ‘halal certificate’ issued by a halal Certification Body, accredited with an Accrediting Body (AB) which is a member of International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF) or Standards Meteorology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC) However, the operation of the SRO has been suspended till July 01, 2019. 130
  162. Trade and Payments 2 .5. Easy issuance of NOC for carrying and temporary import/re-export of arms/ammunition by foreign hunters The hunting/sporting activity coupled with improved law & order situation in Gilgit-Baltistan region has huge potential to attract foreign hunters/ tourists. However, the lengthy and cumbersome procedure for getting NOC from Ministry of Interior for carrying hunting arms and ammunition and another NOC from Commerce Division for temporary import-cumexport of arms/ ammunition has been discouraging to promote tourism. In order to make the process of issuance of NOC for temporary import-cum-export of hunting arms/ammunition easy, NOC from Ministry of Interior for carrying arms/ammunition by foreign hunters will be considered sufficient for temporary import-cum-export of hunting arms. 3. Policy reforms The policy reforms will address the structural issues in the economy and will develop the supply chain for export diversification and industrial growth: 3.1. National Tariff Policy The first ever National Tariff Policy (2019-24), in principle, has been approved by the Prime Minister on 7th March 2019. It will be presented to the Cabinet for approval. In pursuance of Rules of Business, 1973, which assigns Tariff (Protection) policy and its implementation to Commerce Division, an exhaustive exercise has been undertaken to develop with an aim to make the tariff structure truly reflect trade policy priorities, improve competitiveness through duty-free access to imported inputs, rationalize the tariff structure for enhancing efficiencies and reduce the relative “disincentive” for the exporting activities. The availability of cheaper imported inputs and raw materials is expected to increase exports by 2.5 percent in the next five years. The draft Policy is based on the principles of: a. Employing tariffs as an instrument of trade policy rather than revenue b. Maintaining vertical consistency through cascading tariff structures (increasing tariff with stages of processing of a product) c. Providing ‘strategic protection’ to the domestic industry against the foreign competition during the infancy phase d. Promoting competitive import substitution through time-bound protection, which will be phased out to make the industry eventually competitive forex port-oriented production 3.2. Trade Related Investment Promotion Strategy Ministry of Commerce has developed a draft Trade Related Investment Promotion Strategy (TRIPS) in consultation with the stakeholders. Since Pakistan’s trade growth largely depends on attracting efficiency seeking investment in the exportoriented sectors, TRIPS aims to channelize investment into export-oriented production and competitive import substitution. The framework seeks the following direction for investment related measures: a) Identify the priority sectors to incentivize and facilitate efficiency seeking investment in the manufacturing sector b) Identify the critical enablers for attracting trade related investment – e.g. competitive production environment, market size and time-bound protection, market access and investment eco-system etc c) Provide the policy measures under the investment enablers in the priority sectors d) Devise strategy for investment promotion and implementation of the policy 3.3. Strategic Trade Policy Framework (STPF 2019-24) Commerce Division has drafted the Strategic Trade Policy Framework (STPF) 2019-24, which defines the policy direction for Pakistan’s international trade especially exports for the 5-year tenure of the new government. The STPF 2018-23 is an overarching policy framework that aims “to make Pakistan a dynamic and efficient domestic market and a globallycompetitive export-driven economy”. The critical enablers, apart from tariff rationalization and investment, for exports growth strategy are (i) competitiveness, (ii) integration into global value chains, (iii) enhanced market access, (iv) institutional strengthening, and (iv) improvement in export ecosystem. It stipulates policy interventions in each of the area that will provide quantum jump to exports and at the same, facilitate equitable growth to the economy. 3.4. Improving Business Environment The current regime is specifically focusing on improving business environment. Pakistan has improved its ranking by 11 points and moved from 147th/190 to 136th/190 in Doing Business Report 2019. In order to improve Pakistan’s ranking further, recently, following specific reforms have been undertaken in collaboration with the federal and provincial departments: 1. Complete Integration of SECP, Punjab and Sindh business registration portal. This will help in reducing the time and process for registering a company and give one platform where businesses can be started 2. Complete automation of property registration in Punjab. Property registration through online mode has reduced the time drastically for this process and is one of the key areas of reforms. It has improved the transparency and quality of land administration • Online payment of federal and provincial taxes, contributions and duties –Online payments will help Pakistan to improve its ranking in paying taxes indicator • Integration of key departments with WeBOC. To help importers/exporters and reduce the time and cost of compliance 131
  163. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 with departments Automation of electricity connection process by K electric . K- Electric has made the process of getting a commercial electricity connection easier by making it online where the customer can track its application as well • Establishment of Collateral registry. The collateral registry for unincorporated entities has been established in SECP. This will help the small business to use their moveable assets as collateral for getting credit • Dedicated DB Unit has been set up at the BOI, Planning and Development Department Punjab for the purpose of removing bottlenecks and facilitating for smooth business operations Some of the Future Targets i. Rewriting the existing fundamentals of economy and aligning it with global best practices ii. Making industrial sector completely subsidy free: Currently, cement and rice exports are among the leading subsidy free industries/exports iii. Improving Pakistan’s integration and share in global trade iv. Pursue the multilateral trading agenda and continue to work for its improvement v. Participating in the regional and global economic alliances for mutual gains vi. Reformation of tax collection system that is hampering trade transactions vii. Addressing the issues that are challenging our industrial competitiveness viii. Effectively use Tariff as a trade policy instrument rather than a revenue generation tool Source: Ministry of Commerce • Imports Import target for FY2019 was set to US$ 56.5 billion. As per PBS data, imports stood at US$ 45.471 billion in July-April FY2019 as compared to US$ 49.360 billion in the same period last year showing a decline of 7.9 percent. The reduction in imports is due to decrease in imports of furnace oil, machinery & electric equipment, palm oil and textiles. Current scenario of declining imports shows that imports will be according to the estimates. With the falling global demand, weakening consumer and business sentiment among the major economies, trade tensions and economic stabilization measures at home, the imports are expected to be further decrease. Additionally, the government has launched import substitution drive that will be instrumental in reducing pressure on current account. The Finance Supplementary (Second Amendment) Act, 2019 particularly offered tariff concessions to those industries that can offer import substitution. It lowered tariffs on the raw materials and intermediate goods that can help local firms in meeting local demand that is currently being fulfilled by the foreign firms.

Food import bill stood at US$ 4.261 billion in first nine months of FY2019 as compared to US$ 4.730 billion in the same period last year. Hence witnessed a significant decline of 9.9 percent. Within the group heaviest decline has been observed in imports of dry fruits, sugar, edible oil (soybeans and palm oil) and spices by 64.7, 24.8, 12.1 and 8.5 respectively. Although a quantum increase in palm oil has been witnessed during the period. Yet, lower international palm oil prices also suppressed import values. Other mentionable items in the group are tea, milk & related items and pulses. All of these showed negative trend of 1.1, 6.1 and 3.6 respectively. Declined imports in this sector can also be attributed to the SRO issued by the government, demanding the proper labelling requirements on the fastmoving consumer goods accompanied with Halal certificate. Machinery group with a 16.5 percent share in overall imports declined by 29.9 percent to US$ 4.604 billion, pushing down the import bill. Import of power generating machinery declined by 49 percent in July-March FY2019 as compared to the same period last year. A sharp pull back in power generating machinery drove most of the decline machinery import bill. Early harvest of CPEC projects and cut in PSDP spending contributed to the low machinery import bill. Office and textile machinery decreased by 4.4 and 10.61 respectively in first nine months of FY2019. Construction and mining machinery import decreased by 24.3 percent mainly because of the slowdown in construction activities in the given period. Agriculture machinery import is the only segment with a positive growth of 4.7 percent. This seems to be on account of present government initiatives to enhance agriculture production under Prime Minister Agriculture Emergency Plan. Transport group with 5.1 percent share in total imports declined by 35.7 percent. With a hefty decline of 15.8 percent in road motor vehicles. Petroleum group, being the largest contributor to total import bill, declined by 4.7 percent in JulyMarch FY2019 as compared to the previous period last year and stood at US$ 8.002 billion as compare to US$ 8.393 billion in the corresponding period last year. Among the petroleum group, petroleum products declined by 15.3 percent in value while 33.9 percent in quantity which is stemmed from the Pak rupee depreciation. Import bill of the petroleum crude increased by 15.2 percent despite a 14.5 percent decline in quantum import because of higher international oil prices. So a heavy decline in quantum import completely offset the decline in import of crude oil. Refineries have curtailed their crude oil imports to prevent a glut of domestic furnace oil from building up as a result of crude refining process. 134

The import bill of fertilizers increased in both quantity and value by 5.01 and 16.4 percent respectively on the back of lower domestic production. Fertilizer import increased to supplement the stock and to meet up the demands for Rabi and Kharif crops. Iron & steel scrap and iron & steel import bill decreased by 4.8 and 10 percent respectively. Lower construction activity and PSDP spending have urged local steel industry to curtail their production which has ultimately lowered the demand for imported raw material. The import bill of telecommunication group decreased by 8.9 percent to US$ 1.031 billion in JulyMarch FY2019. The import of mobile handsets decreased by 7.6 percent in the said period as compared to 14.5 percent increase in the same period last year. Import duties on mobile sets contributed to this positive development. Import of the other apparatus also decreased by 10.28 percent in July-March FY2019 as compared to same period last year. Direction of Imports Like exports, Pakistan’s imports are also concentrated to few countries. Based on the current year data around 65 percent of total imports originated from countries like China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Indonesia, India, USA, Japan, Germany and Malaysia. China being the largest import destination accounts for the 24 percent of total imports. Share of import from UAE has increased from 12 percent in FY2018 to 14 percent in FY2019.

  167. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Conclusion Although expansionary monetary policy in recent years , business activities and export oriented sector had not been happening as it should be rather exports remained low after seeing higher growth in 2013-14. The present government is sternly focused on enhancing exports and in this direction taken various initiatives with respect to adjustment of exchange rates and monetary tightening. Imports during Jul-Apr FY2019 declined by 4.9 percent while worker’s remittances increased by 8.45 percent. This proved to be a major support to the current account balance which improved by 26.9 percent during the period. However, exports remained a source of concern as they declined during Jul-Apr FY2019. There is a continuous increase in the flows of credit to private sector in manufacturing and export oriented industry which is a welcome development in terms of business activities. However, the downside risk of the impact of continuous rise in policy rate and global slowdown in trade activities may influence the exports. Financial account posted a surplus of US$ 11.32 billion during Jul-Apr FY2019. The improvement is mainly due to the bilateral inflows from China, India and UAE. However, foreign investment remained low during the period after a consistent increase over the last three years under CPEC. This is because of the completion of early harvest projects under CPEC. There is a need to implement a range of structural reforms including growth enhancing fiscal consolidation, reducing cost of doing business, attracting foreign private investments, exploiting the potential of Pakistani diaspora, introduction of effective and responsive foreign exchange regime, and most importantly, focus on enhancing exports through improving productivity at different stages of production. Moreover, integrating the domestic production with global value change, research and development, technology up-gradation, value addition and branding will help in increasing the exports. The establishment of special economic zone and free trade zone at Gawadar will enhance export growth and access to regional markets going forward. The trade diplomacy also needs to be strengthened. 136
  168. CHAPTER 9 Public Debt 9 .1 Introduction The prime objective of public debt management is to ensure that the government's financing needs are met at the lowest possible cost over the medium to long term, consistent with a prudent degree of risk. Debt may well act as catalyst in the course of growth of an economy as long as the economic returns are higher than the cost of borrowed funds. Therefore, borrowed funds are bound to be properly utilized and should conform to the country’s debt repayment capacity. Historically, high debt economies have effectively responded with a wide variety of policy approaches. A brief analysis suggests three primary lessons1; First, a growth supporting policy mix is inevitable for debt reduction and fiscal consolidation. Second, fiscal consolidation must emphasize persistent structural reforms to public finances over temporary or short-lived fiscal measures. Third, reducing public debt is bound to be time taking, especially in the context of a weak external environment. Government inherited extremely challenging macroeconomic situation marked by high fiscal deficits and debt levels. The situation was turned worse due to shortfall in foreign exchange reserves which contributed to a sharp devaluation of Pakistani Rupee and rising inflationary pressures which led to a tight monetary policy stance and a significant increase in domestic debt servicing cost. Over the medium term, Government objective is to bring and maintain its Public Debt-to-GDP and Debt Service-to-Revenue ratios to sustainable levels through a combination of greater revenue mobilization, rationalization of current expenditure and efficient/productive utilization of debt. Government is committed to bring down Public Debt to GDP to 50 percent in fifteen years (2032/33) in accordance with the provision of Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation Act. 9.2 Public Debt Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation (FRDL) Act 2005 defines “Total Public Debt” as debt owed by government (including Federal Government and Provincial Governments) serviced out of consolidated fund and debts owed to the International Monetary Fund. Whereas, “Total Debt and Liabilities” of the country include “Total Public Debt” (Government Debt) as well as debt of other sectors as presented in the table below: Table-9.1: Pakistan’s Debt and Liabilities (Rs in billion) I.

Source: State Bank of Pakistan Total public debt stood at Rs 28,607 billion at end March 2019, recorded an increase of Rs 3,655 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year. The explanation of this increase is as follows:  Increase in debt stock cannot be termed as borrowing of the government. External loans are contracted in various currencies, however, disbursements are effectively converted into Pak Rupee. Thus, devaluation of Pak Rupee against international currencies can increase the value of external public debt portfolio when converted into Pak Rupee for reporting purposes. It is evident from the fact that increase in external public debt contributed Rs 1,900 billion to the public debt during first nine month of ongoing fiscal year while government borrowing for financing of fiscal deficit from external sources was Rs 524 billion during the said period. This differential was mainly on account of depreciation of Pak Rupee against US Dollar. It is worth noting that depreciation of Pak Rupee increases the rupee value of external public debt, however, any such negative impact is spread over many years depending on the life of any given loan and immediate cash flow impact is not significant  Domestic debt registered an increase of Rs 1,754 billion while government borrowing for financing of fiscal deficit from domestic sources was Rs 1,398 billion. This differential is mainly attributed to an increase in credit balances of the government with the banking system. The trend in total public debt since 1971 is depicted in Box-I.

On domestic debt front, government relied mainly on short-term floating debt while net mobilization from permanent debt and unfunded debt remained limited. Whereas, external inflows from bilateral development partners and commercial sources remained the main contributor in external public debt disbursements. Accordingly, the share of bilateral and commercial sources inched up in external public debt portfolio while share of multilateral sources relatively declined during first nine months of current fiscal year as compared with last fiscal year. Government introduced Pakistan Banao Certificates (PBC) which is a US Dollar denominated retail level instrument, for Pakistanis having bank accounts overseas. The main objectives of issuance of PBC are: i. Balance of payment support and build-up of foreign exchange reserves; ii. Raise financing for critically important infrastructure projects including dams, road network, power generation, transmission projects etc. PBC is the first sovereign retail instrument being offered by Government of Pakistan that allow overseas Pakistanis to contribute in their country’s development while providing attractive investment opportunity to earn reasonable returns on investment.

Development of debt capital market is essential to reduce financial risks of the overall economy, provide the government with a non-inflationary source of finance, create a well-balanced financial environment and promote economic growth. Government is taking various steps to provide an efficient and liquid secondary debt markets to the investors (Box-III). Box-III: Steps Taken for The Development of Debt Capital Markets In order to enhance the investors base, facilitate debt issues and provide additional investment avenues to corporates, mutual funds and employees funds, the Commission has notified the following persons as other persons to whom privately placed debt securities being instrument of redeemable capital can be issued: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) mutual funds, voluntary pension schemes, and private fund being managed by NBFC insurer registered under the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 (XXXIX of 2000) a security brokers a fund and trust as defined in the Employees Contributory Funds (Investment in Listed Securities) Regulations, 2018 (v) a company and body corporate as defined in the Companies Act, 2017. Government intends to review the Credit Rating Companies Regulations, 2016 to enhance the role of Credit Rating Agencies in promotion of the corporate bond market. In addition, the government is planning to introduce various new instruments with the objective to meet government financing in an efficient manner while providing more options to the investors in-line with their investment horizon and risk appetites/preferences.

These liabilities originate out of guarantees issued on behalf of Public Sector 140
  172. Public Debt Enterprises (PSEs) and by their contingent nature, do not form part of country’s overall debt. Therefore, to ensure utmost fiscal transparency, information regarding these contingent liabilities remains an essential component of public disclosure. During first nine months of current fiscal year, the government issued fresh/rollover guarantees aggregating to Rs 168 billion or 0.4 percent of GDP. The outstanding stock of government guarantees at end March 2019 was Rs 1,265 billion. 9.3 Progress on Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (2015/16 - 2018/19) In accordance with the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy (2015/16-2018/19), the government was required to lengthen the maturity profile of its domestic debt and mobilize sufficient external inflows in the medium term keeping in view cost risks trade-off, while remaining within the indicative risk ranges.

The banks opted to tilt their portfolio towards short term market treasury bills as expectation of a further rise in policy rate discouraged them to invest in long-term debt instruments, largely to manage market risk. Interest Rate Risk The upper range for “Domestic Debt Re-Fixing in 1 Year” and “Public Debt Re-Fixing in 1 Year” was envisaged at 65 percent and 55 percent respectively, while these indicators stood at 66.6 percent and 55.5 percent at end June 2018. As stated above, borrowing through short term domestic debt instruments (which requires interest rate re-fixing in short term) as well as borrowing contracted from foreign commercial banks on floating rates (mainly to fund external debt maturities and to finance the current account deficit) led these indicators to surpass the defined thresholds. Foreign Currency Risk Short term external public debt maturities were 80.6 percent of official liquid reserves at end June 2018 compared with 68.5 percent at end June 2013. The higher proportion of long term maturities 141
  173. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 falling within a year compared with the level of official liquid reserves resulted in deterioration of this risk indicator . Around 32 percent2 of total public debt stock was denominated in foreign currencies exposing public debt portfolio to exchange rate risk. Going forward, the government intends to update its Medium Term Debt Management Strategy on the basis of two broad principles to ensure sustainability i.e. keeping debt stock within manageable levels and maintaining a diversified debt portfolio comprising variety of instruments and tenors while providing flexibility and enhanced borrowing options. 9.4 Dynamics of Public Debt Burden The analysis of various solvency and liquidity indicators provide clear insight into debt sustainability of the country. The debt burden can be expressed in terms of stock ratio (Debt to GDP) or flow ratios (Debt to revenue). It is a common practice to measure public debt burden as a percentage of GDP, however, debt burden in terms of flow ratios reflects more accurately on repayment capacity of the country.

The fiscal performance can also be assessed through analysis of revenue and primary balances as follow:  The revenue deficit3, which excludes development expenditure, recorded at 1.7 percent of GDP in 2017-18 compared with 0.7 percent during the preceding fiscal year. This growth in current expenditures (13 percent) outpaced the growth in revenue (6 percent) which led to increase in revenue deficit during 2017-18. On the other hand, development expenditures declined by around 4 percent during 2017-18 compared with last fiscal year indicating that fiscal deficit was mainly driven by increase in current expenditure  Similarly, the primary deficit4, which excludes interest payments, increased to 2.1 percent of GDP during 2017-18 from 1.5 percent during 2016-17, indicating a much faster increase in noninterest expenditure compared to revenue. Fiscal indicators witnessed deterioration during first nine months of current fiscal year. The lower revenue collection and higher current expenditures (primarily driven by interest payments and defense expenditures) led to higher revenue deficit of 3.1 percent of GDP compared with 1.4 percent during the same period last year. Similarly, the primary deficit owing to shortfall in revenue 2 As per modalities of MTDS Revenue balance is the total revenues minus current expenditure. The persistence of revenue deficit indicates that the government is not only borrowing to finance its development expenditure, but partially also financing its current expenditure. 4 Primary balance is the total revenues minus non-interest expenditure or fiscal deficit before interest payments. Primary balance is an indicator of current fiscal efforts since interest payments are predetermined by the size of previous deficits. 3 142
  174. Public Debt collection and higher non-interest current expenditures , recorded at 1.2 percent of GDP compared with 0.8 percent during the same period last year. Thus, fiscal deficit increased to 5 percent of GDP during first nine months of current fiscal year compared to 4.3 percent during the same period last year. The trends in fiscal, revenue and primary balance are depicted in the graph below: Fig-9.2: Trends in Fiscal, Revenue and Primary Balance (In Percent of GDP) 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 0% -1% -2% -3% -4% -5% -6% -7% -8% -9% Fiscal Balance Revenue Balance Primary Balance Total public debt as percentage of GDP stood at 72.1 percent while total debt of the government recorded at 66.5 percent at end June 2018. Thus, these indictors remained significantly higher than the 60 percent threshold as envisaged under FRDL Act, 2005. Total public debt to GDP ratio further increased and recorded at 74.2 percent of GDP at end March 2019. Apart from higher fiscal deficit, depreciation of Pak Rupee against US Dollar has contributed to this increase during first nine months of current fiscal year. Total public debt position since fiscal year 2013 (both in absolute and GDP terms) are depicted in the following graph: Fig-9.3: Profile of Public Debt (LHS: Rs in billion, RHS: Percent of GDP) 27,000 25,500 24,000 22,500 21,000 19,500 18,000 16,500 15,000 13,500 12,000 10,500 9,000 7,500 6,000 4,500 3,000 1,500 - 74% 73% 72% 71% 70% 69% 68% 67% 66% 65% 64% 63% 62% 61% 60% 59% 58% 57% 56% 55% Domestic Debt External Debt Public Debt to GDP 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Public debt levels against actual government revenues reveal important information about debt bearing capacity of the country. Total public debt as percentage of revenue stood at 477 percent in 2017-18 compared with 434 percent in 2016-17, indicating increase in government indebtedness and weakening debt affordability. Interest payments were 29 percent of revenue during 2017-18 compared with 27 percent during 143
  175. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 2016-17 while it was around 33 percent in 2012-13 . Interest payments consumed 41 percent of revenue during first nine months of current fiscal year compared with 33 percent during the same period last year. This increase in interest payment is attributed to tight monetary policy stance5coupled with higher share of short term domestic debt6 while revenue collection remained lower compared with last fiscal year. 9.5 Servicing of Public Debt Public debt servicing was recorded at Rs 1,975 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year against the annual budgeted estimate of Rs 2,396 billion. Domestic interest payments constituted around 65 percent of total debt servicing due to higher volume of domestic debt in total public debt portfolio. Domestic interest payments were recorded at Rs 1,277 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year primarily driven by payments made against Market Related Treasury Bills (Rs 299 billion), Treasury Bills (Rs 290 billion), National Savings Schemes (Rs 272 billion) and Pakistan Investment Bonds (Rs 268 billion).

Domestic debt comprises permanent debt (medium and longterm), floating debt (short-term) and unfunded debt (primarily made up of various instruments available under National Savings Schemes). During first nine months of the current fiscal year, composition of domestic debt continued to witness changes as most of the domestic borrowing was mobilized from short-term sources while net retirement was witnessed in medium to long term debt. Accordingly, share of floating debt in total domestic debt increased to 57 percent at end March 2019 compared with 54 percent at the end of last fiscal year, while share of permanent debt in total domestic debt reduced to 26 percent at end March 2019 compared with 28 percent at the end of last fiscal year.

  176. Public Debt 9 .6.1 Outstanding Domestic Debt Domestic debt stock was recorded at Rs 18,171 billion at end March 2019. During first nine months of current fiscal year, the government relied mainly on domestic sources to finance its fiscal deficit. Consequently, domestic debt witnessed an increase of Rs 1,754 billion while government borrowing from domestic sources for financing fiscal deficit was Rs 1,398 billion. This differential is mainly attributed to increase in government credit balances with the banking system. Most of the increase in domestic debt came from short term floating debt while net mobilization from permanent debt and unfunded debt remained limited during first nine months of current fiscal year. Cumulatively, the government mostly borrowed from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and retired portion of its debt to commercial banks. Quarterly domestic borrowing pattern During first quarter of 2018-19, the bidding pattern of commercial banks was largely driven by the tightening of the monetary policy stance. Within government securities, the banks remained mainly interested in the 3-month treasury bills. In case of fixed rate PIBs, limited participation was observed as the offered amount was only 14 percent of the maturities during the quarter. In contrast, participation in 10-years floating rate PIBs was relatively better i.e. against the target of Rs 150 billion set for first quarter of 2018-19, offered amount was around Rs 152 billion and government accepted Rs 108 billion keeping in consideration cost risks trade-off. Overall, the government had to borrow from SBP to retire its ensuing maturities against treasury bills and fixed rate PIBs as both offered and accepted amount in these securities auctions fell short of their maturities and targets set for the said quarter i.e. the government borrowed Rs 1,750 billion from the SBP and retired Rs 1,488 billion to the commercial banks during first quarter of ongoing fiscal year. During second quarter of 2018-19, the government borrowed more from scheduled banks and retired some of its borrowing from SBP. Continuing the trend observed during the second quarter, banks remained more interested in 3-month treasury bills during second quarter of 2018-19 and consequently the proportion of longer tenure treasury bills almost wiped out in the outstanding domestic debt. The participation in fixed rate PIBs remained subdued during second quarter of 201819 while all the bids in floating rate PIBs auction were rejected. Government also mobilized Rs 72.6 billion from the auction of outright purchase of GIS on deferred payment (Bai Muajjal) basis. Overall, 3-months treasury bills remained the main source for domestic financing of fiscal deficit and refinancing of existing maturities during second quarter of 2018-19. Commercial banks' appetite for medium to long term securities started to revive from January 2019 and healthy participation amounting to Rs 1,215 billion was observed during third quarter of 2018-19 out of which the government accepted Rs 496 billion keeping in view cost risks trade-off. On the other hand, participation and acceptance in treasury bills auctions fell well short of both the maturities and auction targets set for the said quarter and consequently government had to resort to SBP borrowing to meet its additional financing requirements and to cover existing short term maturities. Government also mobilized additional Rs 105 billion from the auction of outright purchase of GIS on deferred payment (Bai Muajjal) basis during the said quarter. Cumulatively, the government borrowed Rs 3,648 billion from the SBP and retired Rs 2,545 billion to the commercial banks during July - March 2019.

Permanent Debt Permanent debt mainly consists of medium to long term instruments (Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), Government Ijara Sukuk (GIS), Prize Bond etc.). PIBs have fixed and semi-annual coupon payment with tenors of 3, 5, 10 and 20 years. Whereas, Government Ijara Sukuk are medium term Shariah compliant bonds currently issued in 3 years’ tenor to raise money from Islamic financial 146
  178. Public Debt institutions which have grown substantially in Pakistan in the past few years . Government of Pakistan has also introduced a conventional long-term (10-year maturity) floating-rate PIBs. It has been a very good addition to domestic securities portfolio enabling the government to borrow for a longer period without locking itself into high fixed borrowing cost. This instrument is also useful for investors which prefer to avoid fluctuations in the market value of their investments. Permanent debt was recorded at Rs 4,804 billion at end March 2019, representing an increase of Rs 144 billion during first nine months of ongoing fiscal year. Net mobilization from PIBs stood at Rs 183 billion compared with the retirement of Rs 1,068 billion during the same period last year. Government also mobilized Rs 178 billion from the auction of outright purchase of GIS on deferred payment (Bai Muajjal) basis. II. Floating Debt Floating debt comprises short term domestic borrowing instruments such as Market Treasury Bills (MTBs) and State Bank borrowing through purchase of Market Related Treasury Bills (MRTBs). MTBs are zero coupon or discounted instruments issued in tenors of 3 months (introduced in 1997), 6 months (introduced in 1990) and 12 months (introduced in 1997). In order to raise short term liquidity, the government borrows from the domestic banks through auction of MTBs which is arranged by SBP twice a month. Floating debt formed the largest part of domestic debt portfolio at end March 2019, recorded at Rs 10,271 billion or around 57 percent of total domestic debt portfolio. Floating debt recorded an increase of Rs 1,382 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year, thereby, around 79 percent of total increase in domestic debt portfolio was on account of mobilization from floating debt. The trend in floating debt stock is depicted through following graph: Fig-9.8: Floating Debt as percentage of Domestic Debt 11,000 54.6% 8,000 PKR in billion) 54.1% % of Domestic Debt 9,000 60% 56.5% 55% 50% 45% 44.1% 42.2% 40% 37.8% 7,000 36.7% 35% 6,000 30% 5,000 25% 4,000 20% 3,000 15% 2,000 10% 1,000 5% - Percentahe of Domestic Debt 10,000 Floating Debt 0% 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 (end March) III. Unfunded Debt The stock of unfunded debt (primarily made up of various instruments available under National Savings Schemes) stood at Rs 3,096 billion at end March 2019, constituted around 17 percent of domestic debt portfolio. The rates on National Savings Schemes revised four times during first nine months of current fiscal year to align with the market rates. Unfunded debt recorded net mobilization of Rs 228 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year compared with Rs 49 billion mobilized during the same period last year. Most of the incremental mobilization came from Regular Income Certificate (Rs 103 billion), Bahbood Savings Certificates (Rs 90 billion) and Pensioners' Benefit Account (Rs 31 billion). 147
  179. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Over period of time , the government has taken various measures to transform CDNS from merely a retail debt raising arm of the government to an effective vehicle for financial inclusion and provider of social safety net to the vulnerable sections of the society. In addition, various initiatives are in process which are expected to bring further improvement in CDNS (Box-IV). Box-IV: Initiatives for the Improvement of Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) Sharia Product of National Savings: Keeping in view the increasing demand of sharia compliant instruments, CDNS has developed its first-ever Sharia Compliant Certificate called “Sarwa Islamic Savings Account (SISA)”. In this reference, the draft rules have been printed in the Gazette of Pakistan and after approval of the CCLC and the Federal Cabinet, the proposed SISA Scheme will be introduced across the country. Overseas Pakistanis Savings Certificates (“OPSCs”): Overseas Pakistanis Savings Certificates have been designed to mobilize the savings from Pakistani diaspora abroad. These certificates will be offered in PKR and US Dollar and are expected to be launched in fiscal year 2019-20. Launch of Rs. 100,000 Premium Prize Bond (Registered): After successful launch of Premium Prize Bond (Registered) with Rs 40,000 denomination, CDNS is in a process of launching another registered prize bond with Rs 100,000 denomination. Scrip-less Issuance and Introduction of Registered Prize Bonds amongst all Denominations of Bearer Bonds: In collaboration with SBP, CDNS is in a process of introduction of registered scrip-less prize bonds amongst all denominations. The registered prize bonds will be a step towards documentation of the economy while providing facility to the general public. Debit Card Launch & Membership of 1-Link System: CDNS is also planning to launch ATM Debit Cards with the support of the Karandaaz Pakistan.

In the first nine months of 2018-19, the secondary market outright trading volumes of government securities increased to Rs 21,345 billion compared with Rs 20,375 billion during the same period of 2017-18. These trading numbers translate into an average daily trading volume of Rs 112.9 billion during July-March 2018-19 compared with Rs 110.2 billion and Rs 60.3 billion in 2017-18 and 2016-17, respectively. The increase in secondary market trading volumes over the last two years is explained primarily by higher issuances of liquid 03-month Market Treasury Bills and improved trading in Government Ijara Sukuk (GIS) in the Islamic debt market. Accordingly, the turnover ratio has also increased to 3.15 in 2018-19 (July-March) from 3.00 in 2017-18 and 1.64 in 2016-17.

  181. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Fig-9 .9: Share of Government Securities in Overall Among the securities, MTBs dominated the Trade Volume secondary market activity as nearly 80 percent 100% (i.e. Rs 17,160 billion) of the trading volumes were in MTBs during the period July-March 80% MTBs 2018-19. Further, among MTBs, almost entire PIBs trading i.e. 99.6 percent (or Rs 17,093 billion) was 60% GIS in 3-month MTBs as there was lack of issuances 40% of longer tenor securities. Market activity in 6-month and 12-month MTBs stayed negligible. 20% While still quite thin at Rs 1,690 billion, the share 0% 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 (Jul-Mar) of GIS in overall trading volume doubled to 8 percent in 2018-19 (July-March) from 4 percent in 2017-18. Though the share of trading in PIBs remained almost same at around 12 percent, market activity was largely skewed in shorter tenors as 3-year PIBs witnessed an increase in its trading volume in 2018-19 (July-March) compared with 2017-18. Repo Market Repo market seems to dominate the secondary market trading volumes this year, as during the first nine months of 2018-19 share of repo market activity was 56 percent, as against 49 percent in 2017-18. The considerably large repo volumes indicate higher liquidity in the repo market that allowed investors to efficiently meet their temporary liquidity needs from the domestic market. On the other hand, the share of outright transactions dropped to 44 percent in the 2018-19 (July-March), compared with 51 percent in 2017-18, as the market was reluctant to take positions amidst rising interest rates.

Accordingly, the increase in policy rate effectively translated into market interest rates across the yield curve. Yield curve of up to 10 years as of 29-Mar-2019 was comparatively steeper, as compared to those of end 2017-18 and 2016-17. The steepness of the current yield curve in 1-3 years’ horizon reflects market’s anticipation of increase in interest rates in the medium to long term. 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 Fig-9.10: Yield Curves 29-Mar-19 7 Days 15 Days 1-M 2-M 29-Jun-18 3-M 4-M 6-M 30-Jun-17 9-M 1Y 150 2Y 3Y 4Y 5Y 6Y 7Y 8Y 9Y 10 Y
  182. Public Debt 9 .7 External Debt and Liabilities Pakistan’s External Debt and Liabilities (EDL) include all foreign currency debt contracted by the public and private sector as well as foreign exchange liabilities of SBP. The part of EDL which falls under government domain is debt which is serviced out of consolidated fund and owed to International Monetary Fund. Whereas, remaining includes liabilities of central bank, debt of public sector entities, private sector and banks. During first nine month of current fiscal year, EDL recorded an increase of US$ 10.6 billion to stand at US$ 105.8 billion at end March 2019 out of which public debt was US$ 74.2 billion. External public debt increased by around US$ 3.9 billion during first nine months of current fiscal year compared with the increase of US$ 6.7 billion witnessed during the same period last year. Borrowing from commercial sources (foreign commercial banks and Eurobonds/Sukuks) have relatively increased during the last few years, however, external public debt still largely comprises multilateral and bilateral sources which cumulatively constituted 78 percent of external public debt portfolio at end March 2019. These multilateral and bilateral loans are contracted at concessional terms (low cost and longer tenor) and are primarily utilized to remove structural growth anomalies and promote reform in the areas of energy, taxation, business, trade and education. These development loans are, thus, deployed to the increase the total output of the country and in-turn the debt repayment capacity.

  184. Public Debt Gross external public debt disbursements were recorded at US $ 8,262 million during nine months of current fiscal year, the details of which are as follows:  Disbursements from bilateral sources remained the main contributor in gross external public debt disbursements with a share of 48 percent or US$ 4,004 million. Out of this total, disbursements from China was US$ 3,885 million or 97 percent of total disbursement from bilateral sources  Foreign commercial loans contributed US$ 3,108 million in total disbursements. These commercial loans were primarily obtained for balance of payment support  Government mobilized US$ 1,150 million from multilateral sources largely for energy and infrastructure projects. During first nine months of the current fiscal year, servicing of external public debt was recorded at US$ 5,608 million. Segregation of this aggregate number shows repayment of US$ 4,139 million towards maturing external public debt stock while interest payments were US$ 1,470 million. The projected external public debt repayment based on outstanding at March 31, 2019 is presented in the graph below: Fig 9.11: External Public Debt Repayment Projections (US$ in million ) (Based on Outstanding at March 31, 2019) 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 2018-2019(Apr-Jun) 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 9.7.2 External Debt Sustainability A country can achieve debt sustainability if it can meet its current and future debt service obligations in a timely manner and has the capacity to withstand macroeconomic shocks. There are two principal indicators or ratios which assess the external debt sustainability; (i) solvency indicators and (ii) liquidity indicators. Solvency indicator such as external debt-to-GDP ratio shows debt bearing capacity while liquidity indicators such as external debt servicing to foreign exchange earnings ratio shows debt servicing capacity of the country. Table-9.11: External Debt Sustainability Indicators (In percent) 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 ED/FEE (times) 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.1 1.2 ED/FER (times) 4.4 3.6 2.7 2.5 2.9 ED/GDP (Percentage) 20.8 21.0 18.8 20.7 20.5 ED Servicing/FEE (Percentage) 11.1 11.7 8.5 8.5 12.4 FEE: Foreign Exchange Earnings; ED: External Public Debt; FER: Foreign Exchange Reserves Note: The above ratios are calculated based on US Dollar amounts. Source: Debt Policy Coordination Office, Ministry of Finance 2018 1.3 4.3 22.3 10.8 External public debt to GDP ratio grew to 22.3 percent at end June 2018 compared with 20.5 percent at end June 2017, depicting increased external debt burden. This increase in external public debt may be attributed to net external public debt inflows as well as revaluation losses owing to depreciation of 153
  185. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 US Dollar against other international currencies . At end March 2019, this ratio further increased and recorded at 25.8 percent. Apart from increase in external public debt stock, reduction in GDP size in US Dollar terms contributed towards increase in this ratio. Some relief was realized from liquidity standpoint, where external debt servicing to foreign exchange earnings ratio decreased to 10.8 percent in 2017-18 from 12.4 percent in 2016-17 owing to lower principal payments while moderate growth witnesses in FEE during the year. However, relatively higher growth in external public debt stock pushed the ED/FEE ratio to 1.3 times during 2017-18 compared with 1.2 times during preceding fiscal year. Assessment of external public debt in terms of country’s foreign exchange reserves depicts a deteriorating external debt coverage as widening of current account deficit continues to deplete foreign exchange reserves. During 2017-18, ED/FER recorded at 4.3 times, registering a significant increase from 2.9 times during 2016-17. At end March 2019, this ratio was recorded at 4.3 times. Over last few years, stagnation of exports primarily due to bottlenecks in the energy and infrastructure exerted pressure on the country’s liquidity situation. Exports are predominant source of foreign exchange earnings which on one hand provide coverage towards interest servicing while also lending support towards building-up of foreign exchange reserves. Over last few years, negative trend has been observed in exports while imports have exhibited significant growth. Although other income including worker’s remittances witnessed moderate growth, however, it could not keep pace with imports resulting in widening of the current account deficit and erosion of foreign exchange reserves. The incumbent government soon after assuming the charge took various corrective policy measures to arrest the widening external account gap as is evident from the fact that current account deficit reduced by 27 percent during July 2018 - April 2019 as compared with the same period last year. 9.8 Pakistan’s Link with International Capital Market In the second half of 2018, most Emerging Market (EM) assets came under pressure. The continued trade tensions, appreciation of the dollar and reduced economic growth forecasts caused significant capital outflows from emerging markets. Despite these challenging market conditions, Pakistan’s 19s, 21s, 22s, 24s, 25s bonds continued to trade close to par or at a premium, indicating that the investor perception of the credit remained generally favorable. Following a volatile second half of 2018, the beginning of 2019 brought a material shift in the investor sentiment. After a net outflow position for EM fund flows in 2018, the first quarter of 2019 brought fresh liquidity into EM markets due to a record high level of net inflows into emerging markets funds. Pakistan’s bond spreads have shown a strong performance year-to-date, trading back to the same levels as in January 2018. In absolute terms, the Pakistan’s curve has moved ~130 bps tighter on average across all tranches since early January 2019 and continues to outperform comparable assets in the Emerging Markets.

  186. Public Debt 9 .9 Conclusion Government is committed to achieve the targets outlined in Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation Act, 2005. Going forward, following are the main priorities with respect to public debt management: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Over the medium term, government objective is to bring and maintain its Public Debt-to-GDP and Debt Service-to-Revenue ratios to sustainable levels through a combination of greater revenue mobilization, rationalization of current expenditure and efficient/productive utilization of debt For domestic debt market development, government is planning to introduce various new instruments with the objective to meet government financing requirements at the lowest possible cost while providing additional avenue to investor in-line with their investment horizon and risk appetite/preference Government intends to broaden the universe of Shariah compliant securities (domestic as well as international) Lengthening of maturity profile of domestic debt through enhanced mobilization from medium to long term government securities will remain priority to reduce the re-financing and interest rate risks of domestic debt portfolio Government is tapping new international markets as well as considering to introduce an international bond program instead of borrowing through stand-alone transactions. This is expected to increase investor base, lower borrowing cost and allow the government to optimize timing of issuance as well as save time in execution of debt transactions Government will continue to seek long term concessional loans for development purposes. 155

  188. CHAPTER 10 Education It is a known fact that sustainable economic development is impossible without improvement in human capital . Education plays an important role in the building of human capital. The government’s intent is to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4, which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all citizens; through tangible improvements in country’s education. Previously, Pakistan failed in achieving the MDGs target related to education as the desired changes could not be made to upgrade the education system. Now the Goal 4 of SDGs is demanding our attention to improve the indicators required to achieve the Goal 4 i.e., Quality Education (ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life learning opportunities for all). Box-I: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) National Framework Goal 4: Quality Education (Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all) National Priority Targets By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations By 2030, ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all National Priority SDG Indicator National Baseline Target 2030 2014-15 Proportion of children and young people: (a) in Total=57% Total=100% grades 2/3; (b) at the end of primary; and (c) at Girls=53.0% Girls=100.0% the end of lower secondary achieving at least a Boys=60.0% Boys=100.0% minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics, by sex Parity indices (female/male, rural/urban, GPI Primary=0.87 GPI Primary=1.0 bottom/top wealth quintile and others such as disability status, indigenous peoples and conflict affected, as data become available) for all education indicators on this list that can be disaggregated Percentage of population in a given age group achieving at least a fixed level of proficiency in functional (a) literacy and (b) numeracy skills, by sex Proportion of schools with access to: (a) electricity: (b) the Internet for pedagogical purposes; (c) computers for pedagogical purposes; (d) adapted infrastructure and materials for students with disabilities; (e) basic drinking water; (f) single sex basic sanitation facilities; and (g) basic hand washing facilities (as per the WASH indicator definitions) By 2030, substantially increase the Proportion of teachers in; (a) pre-primary; (b) supply of qualified teachers, including Primary; (c) lower secondary; and (d) upper through international cooperation for secondary education who have received at least teacher training in developing countries, the minimum organized teacher training (e.g. especially least developed countries and pedagogical training) pre-service or in-service small island developing States required for teaching at the relevant level in a given country Source: Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform Total=60.0% Female=49.0% Male=70.0% Total=80.0% Female=69.0% Male=90.0% Primary School Infrastructure: Electricity=53.0%; Drinking Water= 67.0%; Sanitation=67.0% Primary School Infrastructure; Electricity= 53.0%; Drinking Water=67.0%; Sanitation=67.0% - - The government agenda In order to achieve Goal 4 of SDGs, the government has declared Ministry of Planning, Development and Reform as the focal ministry at national level. To achieve education targets,
  189. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 federal and provincial governments have to improve their capacities , sectoral governance and increase resources for education. The government is committed to move on all of these areas and has already increased budgetary resources for education. It is also striving to combine diverse education system presently in vogue to introduce a more uniform system of education in the country. A National Education Policy Framework has been formulated to combat the multiple challenges facing the education sector. The Framework has established following priorities areas:  Priority 1: Decrease Out of School Children (OOSC) and Increase School Completion  Priority 2: Achieve Uniformity in Education Standards  Priority 3: Improve the Quality of Education  Priority 4: Enhance Access to and Relevance of Skills Training Regional Comparison of Education Indicators According to UNDP’s Human Development Report 2018, Pakistan is ranked 150th out of 189 countries with the HDI value of 0.562 (with 1 being the maximum value). According to the educational indicators only Afghanistan lags behind Pakistan in the context of regional comparison. All other regional countries have shown improvement in HDI in comparison to Pakistan. Table 10.1 provides a comparison of education indicators across a select group of country’s which are considered to be Pakistan’s comparators. As is obvious from the table, Pakistan does not fare well in this comparison.

  195. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 to meet the skill training needs of domestic and international markets , in terms of both quantity and quality. National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) and Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training have developed a broader framework to uplift TVET sector in Pakistan. The roadmap emphasizes on increasing training opportunities for young people as well as re-skilling the existing workers, implementing the National Vocational Qualification Framework (NVQF) and Competency Based Training &Assessment (CBT&A), bridging demand and supply gap of skilled workforce in the country, introducing High-Tech / High-End Training programs, bringing Madrdassa(s) and general education into TVET stream. The ultimate objective of this comprehensive roadmap and National TVET Policy is to streamline TVET sector and create competent, motivated, entrepreneurial, adaptable and creative skilled workforce as per demand of the local & international skill demands for workforce. Following initiatives have been taken by NAVTTC to address qualitative and quantitative disparities in Technical & Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector; i. National Vocational Qualification Framework (NVQF) has been devised and implemented for the standardization of skill qualifications across the country ii. As quality assurance mechanism in the TVET sector, NAVTTC has introduced a comprehensive accreditation regime in Pakistan. More than 200 TVET institutes and 1400 training programs have already been accredited under the program iii. In curriculum development and its standardization at the national level, NAVTTC has developed curriculum for more than 100 trades, in accordance with latest technological requirements of the national and international job markets iv.

ASER Findings on Disability/Health & Functioning: ASER Pakistan, since 2014, has been capturing data on disability incidence in Pakistan by using the ‘UN Washington Group on Disability Statistics’ Short Set of questionnaire (3-16 years). This questionnaire is devised as a standard tool to estimate the functional difficulties in six core functional domains: walking, seeing, hearing, cognition, self-care and communication. In continuation of this activity, ASER 2018, using the same set of questionnaire, has reached out to over 119,000 children in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (including the KP-newly merged districts) and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).  Among these, 4,251(3.57%) of the children were found to have at least one functional difficulty. Disaggregating this figure for gender, 1,760 (3.43%) of the boys had a difficulty while the same was 2,491 (3.66%) for girls i.e. a slightly higher percentage of girls reported having any difficulty than for boys.  By education status, results show that around 3,174 children out of the total 4,251 children with disabilities are enrolled in school (74.66%), while 880 (20.7%) have never been enrolled and 197 (4.63%) have dropped out.

  205. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 a . Action Plan - National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination Division 2019-2023: The ‘Action Plan’ sets out the prioritized strategic actions of the new government to transform the health sector of Pakistan by addressing the challenges, health sector reforms and thus improving the health outcomes of people of Pakistan. This action plan will augment current health sectoral and sub-sectoral strategies and plans in the country and will support the progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and International Health Regulations (IHR) agenda in the country. b. Islamabad Capital Territory – Health Strategy (2019-23)- The first ever ‘Islamabad health strategy’ to ensure provision of integrated quality health care services in the capital area. Accountability Model - Performance Tracking and Governance Framework for Implementation The Government of Pakistan envisaged improving healthcare service delivery at all levels of service delivery system which cannot be materialized without introduction of robust healthcare accountability system in place. Accountability is the key priority in health sector. The accountability model has been strengthened through a Unified Accountability Framework of Performance Tracking and Governance to support action towards the broader SDG follow-up and review processes over the next fifteen years. The accountability approach included: measurement, inclusion, participation, transparency and independence. Key accountability functions included to facilitate tracking of resources, results and rights, including through multi-stake holder commitments and multi-sectoral action, to achieve the SDGs, and promote alignment of national, regional and global investments and initiatives in support of the indigenous accountability system and plans, and improve multi-stakeholder engagement at all levels. New Initiatives 2018-19 i. Sehat Sahulat Program(SSP) Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (NHSRC) in collaboration with provincial governments, started a landmark and flagship health care and social protection initiative, the Sehat Sahulat Program (previously known as Prime Minister’s National Health Program). The objective is to lead a path towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Pakistan, with special focus towards those living below the poverty line in the country. The program is being implemented in a phased manner. In the first phase, the program is being implemented in 38 districts of Pakistan covering 3.2 million families. Benefit Packages of Phase-I In Sehat Sahulat Program each enrolled family will be insured upto Rs. 50,000/- per year for secondary care treatment and upto Rs. 250,000/- per year for 7 priority care treatment. Patients who have consumed their limits will be provided with additional limits by Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal. Benefit Packages of Phase-II In phase-II of the Sehat Sahulat Program, benefit package of each enrolled family has been raised to Rs. 120,000/- per year for secondary care treatment and upto Rs. 600,000/- per year for 8 priority diseases/illnesses related treatment. Transportation Cost SSP is a cashless scheme in which no cash assistance or cash transfers will be provided to the beneficiary except indoor health care services and a traveling allowance. Traveling allowance of Pak Rs. 350/- per discharge, for a total of 3 discharges per year, from residence to hospital and back is provided to the beneficiaries. In Phase-II of SSP, enhanced transportation cost of Rs. 1,000 is being 174
  206. Health and Nutrition provided to beneficiaries upon discharge . Current Status As of 9th February 2019, a total of 3,237,660 families have been enrolled in the Sehat Sahulat Program and more than 117,726 families have been treated for various illnesses from 157 empanelled hospitals across Pakistan. There is also an option of inter district portability in the program which enables the enrolled beneficiaries and families to access quality indoor hospital services from any empanelled hospital, both in public and private sector. Insurance Company Sehat Sahulat Program is being implemented through State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan, hired through an open and transparent bidding process. Services are delivered to the beneficiaries by empaneling secondary and tertiary level health care facilities, both at public and private sector, in all focused districts and metropolitan cities of the country. The hospital is being empanelled through the insurance company based on hospital empanelment criteria set forth in the program documents. ii. Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Given the significance and relationship that an efficient Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) has towards the development of a country, the government is making serious efforts and has gained momentum to strengthen and revamp its CRVS in the country. In the recent past, a number of steps have been taken ranging from national assessment studies, institutional arrangements and organization of countrywide advocacy seminars to initiate the process for the development of a robust National CRVS Strategic Plan. Civil registration is an important act of recording and documenting of vital events in a person’s life (including birth, marriage, divorce, adoption and death) and is therefore, a fundamental function of government. Within government, civil registration system is the responsibility of a number of ministries or departments, including ministries of health, interior, justice and national statistical offices. Communication of multiple agencies is a key to the system’s performance. Civil registration contributes to public administration and governance by providing individuals with legal identity and civil status and generating information that can be used as the source of civil registries and population databases. The task of overall coordination for CRVS development has been assigned to Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms. Following milestones have so far been achieved  Advocacy/Awareness seminars for CRVS were organized in provinces and regions.  Provincial steering committee meetings were organized in all provinces and regions  Provincial CRVS Symposiums were organized in all provinces and regions. The primary objective of these symposiums is to accelerate the contributions of provincial governments and development partners by year 2025 iii. Reduction in Prevalence of Tobacco Use in Pakistan Ministry of National Health Services Regulations & Coordination has initiated a strategy in January, 2019 to enhance efforts to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in any form in the country by urging all tobacco manufacturers to print new Pictorial Health Warning (PHW) on cigarette packs and outers. The size of new warning has been increased from 50 percent to 60 percent and it will be printed on both sides of the cigarette packs and outers. The government is also committed to fulfill its international commitment by taking demand and supply reduction measures. Tobacco use is a cause of death of around 160,100 Pakistan every year. Around 24 million adults currently use tobacco in any form in Pakistan. The youth of Pakistan is being targeted with this strategy of implementing Pictorial Health Warning. 175
  207. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 iv . Deworm Islamabad Initiative The government has conducted a pilot project “Deworm Islamabad Initiative” at Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) level in 2018-19. The policy and institutional framework was developed in August 2018 that put forth milestone for the mass deworming in Islamabad Capital Territory. The WHO classifies Pakistan amongst top-10 highest burden countries for intestinal worm infections. These infections results from poor sanitation and hygiene conditions, and tend to have highest prevalence in children of school-going age. Worm infections interfere with nutrient uptake and can lead to anemia, malnourishment and impaired mental and physical development and pose a serious threat to children’s health, education, and productivity. To provide the government with comprehensive intestinal worm infections data, the first nationwide Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) survey in Pakistan was conducted by the Interactive Research & Development (IRD), Indus Health Network (IHN) and Evidence Action with the support from Ministry of National Health Services Regulations & Coordination, World Health Organization and provincial health and education departments. Table 11.5: Deworm Islamabad Initiative Province/Region # of districts identified with areas ≥ 20% prevalence Punjab 5 Sindh 6 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 19 Balochistan 1 Islamabad 1 Gilgit Baltistan 4 AJK 4 Grand Total 40 Source: Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform(Health Section) Total school-age children (SAC; 5-15 years old) population in at-risk districts 3,650,484 4,590,735 6,835,279 164,248 573,880 221,364 593,164 16,629,154 With the baseline established, the government utilized the opportunity to launch targeted deworming programs in at-risk areas. Utilizing WHO’s drug donation program, Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation & Coordination ordered deworming tablets for over 16 million at-risk children in Pakistan and thus, through concerted efforts of ministries and departments, Islamabad Capital Territory became the first at-risk district in Pakistan to launch mass school-based deworming, targeting approximately 253,000 school-age children in January 2019. To achieve this, Ministry of Planning Development & Reform took a lead in establishing a Multi-Stakeholder Committee for program over-sight and strategic leadership with support from Ministries of Federal Education & Professional Training and Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation & Coordination, Chief Commissioner’s Office and CDA/MCI. The objective is to achieve the goal of reducing morbidity caused by worm infection, and to treat at least 75 percent of the school-age population in ICT. The national Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) prevalence survey indicates that an estimated 570,000 children aged 5-15 years in ICT are at risk for STH infection and stand to benefitted from a mass deworming program, regardless of whether they attend public schools, private schools, religious schools, or are not enrolled in school. v. Health Planning, System Strengthening and Information Analysis Unit Since April 2016, the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (NHSR&C) established the Health Planning, System Strengthening and Information Analysis Unit (HPSIU) to serve as a sustained, fundamental and purposeful strategic, monitoring and technical advisory arm of the Ministry for the development and reforms of the health sector in Pakistan. 176

National TB control Program (NTP) Pakistan has the fifth highest burden of tuberculosis worldwide and is among the high multidrugresistant tuberculosis burden countries. The prevalence, incidence and mortality per 100,000 populations per year from TB in Pakistan are 348, 276 and 34, respectively. The government has declared tuberculosis a national emergency, and implemented the directly observed treatment, shortcourse strategy followed by the Stop TB Strategy, which includes universal access to quality tuberculosis care in the country. National TB Control Program (NTP) has achieved over 85 percent Directly Observed Treatment System (DOTS) coverage in public sector and in the last five years the program has provided care to more than half a million TB patients in Pakistan. Steps taken for the control of TB Country wide network of around 1,400 TB care facilities are providing free TB diagnostic and treatment services. More than 3,500 GPs, 125 NGO networks, 35 private hospitals and 45 parastatal hospitals & 2000 pharmacies have been engaged & trained. There are 200 facilities (TCH, DHQ, THQ) for childhood TB. vi. International Health Regulations Pakistan has been a signatory to the IHR convention since 2007 with National Institute of Health (NIH) being the designated focal point since 2014. Pakistan’s subsequent efforts culminated in the development of a casted 5-year National Action Plan (NAP). Health Sector Projects Several programs and projects in a row to strengthen the physical condition and wellbeing of the people and to decrease the disease load in rural and urban areas for which funding was given by the federal government. These programs projects are being funded through the PSDP and implemented by the provincial and area governments. The details are as under; i. Devolved Vertical Health Program The fate of funding modalities of vertical programs has been changed as health is a devolved subject 178
  210. Health and Nutrition since the promulgation of 18th Constitutional Amendments . As per decision of CDWP, concurred by ECNEC as well, the federal funding to the vertical programs financed through PSDP seized to carry on 30th June, 2018. Henceforth, the economic burden of the vertical health programs will be dealt with respective provincial / area government’s development budget unless it is decided otherwise by the Council of Common Interest (CCI). ii. Prime Minister’s National Health Insurance Program Prime Minister's National Health Program (PMNHP) is a milestone towards reaching the goal of attaining Universal Health Coverage through recently introduced healthcare financing system ensuring access to medical health care in aswiftand dignified manner without any financial obligations. The government is all set to expand PMNHP all over the country till 2022, to provide social health protection against most of chronic and debilitating diseases / health conditions to all families living below the poverty line of US$ 2 per day. The PMNHP envisaged to reach-out under the second phase, to 14 million families across the country and costing Rs. 33.63 billion. The program would be expanded across the country within five years, which has started from January 1, 2018, and would be completed by December 31, 2022. The project with a total cost of approximately Rs. 8 billion, is already under implementation in 36 districts nationwide. iii. Family Planning and Primary Health Care (FP&PHC) The Family Planning and Primary Health Care (FP & PHC) Program so far has recruited more than 100,000 Lady Health Workers (LHWs). LHWs services encompass the health conditions of women and children through improved sanitation, birth spacing, iron supplementation, larger vaccination coverage and through ante-natal and post-natal coverage of the pregnant women. The concerned governments of respective provinces/ area are in the process of rationalization of salary packages of the staff under this program through regularization of services in compliance to the orders of the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan. Overarching problems of governance and monitoring still requires immediate consideration at the regional and sub regional levels. iv. Expanded Program for Immunization Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) Program provides immunization to children against the seven vaccine-preventable diseases under one year of age i.e. childhood tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, neonatal tetanus, measles and hepatitis B. New vaccines like penta-valent vaccine have been introduced with the help of United Nations Children Fund’s (UNICEF). EPI Program envisaged protecting 07 million children of 0-23 months against 10 deadly vaccine preventable diseases and about 07 million pregnant and child bearing aged women, their neonates will be immunized against tetanus toxoid vaccine respectively. Although after devolution, this has become largely the responsibility of the provincial/area governments, Federal EPI cell currently took the responsibility of the procurements, coordination and technical guidance, whereas, provincial EPI cells are largely responsible for implementation of the program. The recent achievements of the program are formulation of National Immunization Policy and National Communication Strategy for routine immunization endorsed and approved by provinces and stakeholders, Development of Effective Vaccine Management Improvement Plan and its implementation, Improvement in Vaccine Logistic Management Information System (VLMIS) and formulation of Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MTDF) with the support of World Bank along with other financial partners such as World Health Organization (WHO) and Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Still the issues of routine immunization in the out reached areas of erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan needs consideration. The recently conducted National Measles campaign has shown remarkable coverage of Measles Supplemental Immunization Activities (SIAs) recorded through Management Information System (MIS) which was 98 percent. The maximum coverage reported in GB (103 percent) while the minimum was reported from erstwhile FATA (96 percent). 179
  211. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 The Measles SIA coverage reported from Sindh (102 percent), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (100 percent), Balochistan (96 percent), AJK (99 percent), Islamabad (97 percent) respectively as shown in figure: Figure No. 11.4.

During the campaign, 199,398 children missed vaccination. The highest number of missed children was reported from Balochistan (53,501) and lowest from AJK (109) while Gilgit Baltistan reported 100 percent coverage. The government has extended two supplementary days to catch up missed children. The overall wastage rate remained 9.95 percent with maximum wastage rate reported from Balochistan (15.51 percent) while the minimum wastage was reported from Punjab (8.92 percent). According to the independent assessment the coverage results lies around 94.5 percent. v. Polio Eradication Initiative Program Pakistan has made important progress towards eradications polio in the country. Case numbers are at the lowest and the immunity gaps continued to decline. However, in high-risk areas of the country, unvaccinated children remain vulnerable. An array of approaches and tools are being used to bring Pakistan to the finishing line, including tailoring vaccination approaches to children in high-risk mobile populations, emergency operations centers to coordinate the program effectively and a National Emergency Action Plan with a strong accountability framework, improved surveillance, fewer unvaccinated children and fewer strains of the virus. Pakistan has a real opportunity to end transmission this year, but it must remain focused on reaching children in high-risk areas of the country, increase and enhance surveillance quality, and conduct high-quality campaigns to close immunity gaps. Also critical to success will be Fig-11.5: Polio Cases in Pakistan working together with Afghanistan in fighting the virus. The remaining strongholds of wild 350 poliovirus transmission are in areas linking the 307 300 two countries, and country programs are jointly 250 focused on improving the quality of 200 198 immunization activities and surveillance in these areas. 150 According to Planning and Development Division, during 2019-2021 Pakistan will invest US $ 347.22 million (PKR 46.8 billion) for polio eradication activities.

Through polio eradication efforts, a substantial investment has been made in strengthening health service delivery systems in Pakistan. Thousands of health workers have been trained, hundreds of volunteers have been mobilized to support immunization campaigns, and cold-chain transport equipment has been refurbished. Consequently, Polio incidence has almost been eradicated in Pakistan. It is evident that during calendar year 2011 there were total 198 polio cases that were reduced to 12 in 2018 and during first quarter of 2019, 02 cases in Punjab, 01 case in Sindh, 03 cases in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 3 cases in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tribal District( KPTD) are observed. The detail is given in the following Table; Table 11.6: Provinces Wise Polio Cases Province 2011 2012 2013 Punjab 9 2 7 Sindh 33 4 10 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 23 27 11 KPTD 59 20 65 Balochistan 73 4 0 Gilgit-baltistan 1 1 0 Azad jammu&kashmir 0 0 0 Total 198 58 93 Source: End Polio Pakistan (www.endpolio.com.pk) 2014 5 30 68 179 25 0 0 306 2015 2 12 17 16 7 0 0 54 2016 0 8 8 2 2 0 0 20 2017 1 2 1 0 3 1 0 8 2018 0 1 2 6 3 0 0 12 2019 2 1 3 3 0 0 0 9 vi. Safe Blood Transfusion Services Program The government recognizes the significance of the preventive aspect in healthcare especially the pivotal role of strengthening healthcare services with backup support of provision of adequate and highest quality of safe blood transfusion services system in the country. The government appreciated the support provided by the German government through KFW Development Bank to create the new blood transfusion system in Pakistan and assured to take bilateral collaboration between Pakistan and German governments to sustain the successful continuation in improving health sector reforms agenda. Safe Blood Transfusion Services in Islamabad Capital Territory is one of the proposed project out of overall several ongoing projects of similar nature in all four provinces of the country. The establishment of streamlines service delivery in Safe Blood Transfusion Services has been strengthened by granting licenses to 18 public and private sector blood banks so far. The Islamabad Blood Transfusion Authority (IBTA) has been revived recently which has developed a very successful model of regulation based on constructive non-punitive approach. As a result now all the blood banks in Islamabad have all essential required equipment and trend of automation is increasing, all blood collected is processed into three blood components, there is 100 percent automated screening for Hepatitis B, C and HIV, automated cross-matching is performed in the larger blood banks and the documentation standards have improved considerably. vii. Malaria Control Program Malaria control has always been a main concern being a moderate malaria endemic country. The program targets to reduce the malaria burden by 60 percent in high and moderate endemic districts/agencies and eliminate malaria in low endemic districts by year 2018-19. The two highly prevalent parasitic species identified so far are Plasmodium Vivax and Plasmodium Falciparum. Plasmodium Vivax is the major parasite species account for more than 80 percent reported confirmed cases in the country. More than 90 percent of disease burden in the country is shared by 181
  213. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 56 highly endemic districts , mostly located in Balochistan (17 out of 32 districts), erstwhile FATA (7 agencies), Sindh (12 districts) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (12 districts). Erstwhile FATA is the second highest malaria affected belt of the country which accounts for 12-15 percent of the total case load of the country. National strategy for Malaria Control is based on the key Result Based Monitoring (RBM) element which includes early diagnosis and prompt treatment, improved detection and response to epidemics, developing viable partnerships with national and international partners, multiple prevention, focused operational research and National commitment. National Guidelines for Prevention of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is developed along with 5-Year Plan of Action (PoA/PC-I 2017-2022) for the control of Vector Borne Diseases (VBDs) in Pakistan. Moreover, following facilities are provided during FY2019; a) Successful implementation of The Global Fund-Single Streamline Funding (SSF) Round-10 grant worth US$ 30.2 million b) Secured Worth US$ 52 million to implement the Malaria Control interventions in 48 endemic districts of Pakistan c) Securing US$ 42.0. million for malaria control intervention under New funding Request 20182020 d) Approval of PC-I for "Common Unit to Manage Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) Grant 2016-2018 costing Rs.169.148 million e) Distribution of 3.1 million free of cost Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) in target districts of Pakistan during 2018 and plan to distribute same number of LLINs during 2019. i. Approximately 1.1 million houses registration using mobile apps. Onsite Data Kit (ODK) for distribution of LLINs during 2018 ii. Distribution of free of cost 50,000 Glucan time Injection through the support of WHO for treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in Pakistan iii. 1.1 million rapid diagnostic tests utilized to diagnose the suspected malaria cases iv. 65,230 Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) for confirmed Plasmodium Falciparum variant of malaria cases. viii. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Control Program Pakistan to a large degree has controlled to remain comparatively protected from the increase in AIDS cases to date. It is known as a low-prevalence, high-risk country for the spread of HIV infection. HIV / AIDS Program aims for the Behavior Change Communication (BCC), services to high-risk population groups, treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and supply of safe blood for transfusions and capacity building of various stakeholders. Pakistan’s epidemic is primarily concentrated among two of the key population groups driving the epidemic in the country. These are two groups who are driving the epidemic of AIDS in the country. These are Patient Who Inject Drugs (PWID) with a national prevalence of 27.2 percent (weighted prevalence of 37.8 percent); Hijrha (Transgender) Sex Worker (HSW) standing at 5.2 percent and 1.6 percent among Male Sex Worker (MSW). However, the prevalence in Female Sex Workers still remains low at 0.6 percent. The program is technically supported by the UN agencies and Global Fund against AIDS, TB and Malaria. The National AIDS Control Program as Principal Recipient of the Global Fund grant provided HIV treatment, care and support services to people living with HIV and their family members. In the New Funding Model (NFM) grant, National AIDS Control Program (NACP) managed 21 Community Home based Care Sites (CHBC) which provided care and support services to people living with HIV 182
  214. Health and Nutrition as well as their family members in the form of psycho-social support , empowerment/ toolkit support, food and nutrition support, school fee and package support, travel support as well as emergency medical care support. Another salient feature of the Community and Home Based Care (CHBC) model was its outreach and active case identification followed by linkages to respective ART centres for further case management. HIV treatment centres provide free of cost diagnostics and HIV treatment to people living with HIV. The major achievements of the national AIDS Control Program NACP in the year 2018-19 are as under;  NACP provided antiretroviral medicines (ARVs) treatment, screening kits and medicines for opportunistic infections. In addition to provision of counseling services to individual spouse and family and group counseling. In-patient treatment facility through the established 26 treatment centers for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) centers in Federal area and Provinces  As of 31st December 2018, 22,333 People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) were registered in all the treatment centers and 12,046 PLHIV are on treatment  HIV diagnostics through National Referral Laboratory, National AIDS Control Program  Provision of CD4 machines for Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa  Approval of Global Fund grant for Pakistan of US $ 34.9 million for the period 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2020. ix. Maternal & Child Health Program Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program was initiated to improve women's and children's health conditions through better service delivery and supported health systems. Mother and Child healthcare is one of the most important concerns of Public health sector. The program aspires to provide better access to Mother and Child health and Family Planning services with provision of comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC) services in 275 hospitals/health facilities, provision of basic EmONC services in 550 health facilities and family planning services in all health outlets. Pakistan has shown improvement in the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) of 62 per thousand from 66 per thousand in 2015, but maternal mortality rate 170/100000 is still very high as compared to the other countries in the region. More efficient implementation of this scheme can bring these indicators in a range with better health status of mothers and children. x. Prime Minister’s Program for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis: The program envisioned meeting the challenges caused by the elevated incidence of viral hepatitis in the nation. The program was launched to bear treatment of hepatitis B and C for patients who are unable to meet the expense of the treatment due to high cost of medicines and diagnostics along with promoting preventive interventions. The program also intends to decrease more than half of new cases of hepatitis B and C through advocacy and behavior change communication, hepatitis B vaccination of high risk groups, establishment of screening, diagnosis and treatment facilities in DHQ hospitals, Safe Blood Transfusion and prevention of hepatitis A and E. Safe Blood Transfusion project will bring down the incidence of hepatitis in the country. Provincial Achievements in Health Sector a) Government of Punjab i. Improved Health Spending Government of Punjab has aggressively working on strengthening the primary and secondary level of healthcare. The priority of the Government of Punjab has moved to the strengthening preventive and promotive pillars of primary health care to improve the healthcare service delivery. There is a drastic surge of health budget on strengthening of primary and secondary healthcare which is increased by 81 percent i.e. from Rs. 62 billion in 2015-16 to Rs. 112 billion in 2018-19. 183
  215. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 ii . Launch of Health Insurance Scheme (Sehat Sahulat Cards) The Government of Punjab is focusing to outreach marginalized segment of the society who are not able to meet expensive healthcare services from the private sector. The government envisaged benefiting 30 million people and 3.7 million families from launch of health insurance scheme the “Sehat Sahulat Cards”. The launch of sehat sahulat cards in January 2019, envisaged distributing the cards among 50 percent population of the province in its initial phase. By the end of March 2019, 0.8 million cards will be distributed in four districts of the province. The government will complete the distribution of cards across the province by the end of year 2019. By that time, 7.2 million ‘Sehat Sahulat Cards’ will be provided to 35 million individuals of Punjab. Through sehat sahulat card scheme the cardholders are entitled to free medical treatment worth Rs. 720,000. Moreover, patients are also provided an additional Rs.1000 through the card so that they can travel to the hospital. iii. Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure Government of Punjab has recently recruited doctors through public service commission and deployed 2,717 women medical officers across Punjab and 3,620 male medical officers. The government has also improved the physical infrastructure of healthcare services by revamping nine districts and tehsils hospitals including hospitals of Okara, NankaSahab, Shekhupura, Kasur, Hafizabad, Narowal, Jhelum, Kamonki and Daska. b) Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa i. Improvement of Health Insurance Scheme (Sehat Insaf Cards) The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has improved the health insurance scheme “sehat sahulat cards” by increasing service delivery of health insurance scheme to 2.4 million households with provision of free treatment to 70 percent of the population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government granted empanelment to 106 public and private hospitals through health insurance scheme and about Rs. 2.64 billion spent so far for free treatment through this scheme. ii. Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has improved healthcare service delivery by increasing number of healthcare service providers. The provincial government increased recruitment many folds as compared to existing situation in 2013. Recently, during the 2018-19 the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government recruited 8,801 medical officers that is 142 percent more than it was in 2013. 931 doctors in District specialist cadre has been recruited in 2018 which is increased by 232 percent of 2013. 488 Managers about 50 percent increase and 397 Dental surgeons about 56 percent have been recruited in 2018. c) Government of Balochistan The health sector of Government of Balochistan is struggling to provide adequate healthcare services due to shortage of healthcare service providers who prefer to work in provincial capital Quetta and unwilling to stay in rural areas which has largely affected health status of rural population. The provincial health department has made robust arrangements to address this issue and developed Health Sector Strategy (2013-2018) which is ongoing in its last phase of implementation. Recently, in August 2018, the newly established provincial government decided to take strategic initiatives to address the challenges of healthcare service delivery, quality of care, lack of skilled health workforce and to ensure adequate health coverage for the poor and vulnerable population in the province. d) Government of Sindh The Government of Sindh has allocated Rs 96.38 billion for health sector in the budget for financial year 2018-19. The government has allocated Rs. 12.50 billion for 2018-19 for development of health sector. It envisaged new schemes of health sector under the provision of Rs 50 billion earmarked 184
  216. Health and Nutrition separately as block allocation in ADP 2018-19 . Sindh Government has completed 68 new uplift schemes of Rs 5.12 billion, including RHCs, Trauma-cum-Emergency Centres and construction of warehouses at all divisional head quarters for cold storage facility; four schemes of up-gradation of RHC, to THQ Hospitals and establishment of Cancer Ward at Nuclear Institute of Medicine & Radiotherapy (NIMRA), Jamshoro at the cost of Rs 1.086 billion. Nutrition Security Global Nutrition Report (GNR) 2018 revealed unacceptably high level of malnutrition and every country is affected in one way or the other. More than half of the world’s wasted children (26.9 million) live in South Asia and of the three countries are home to almost half (47.2 percent) of all stunted children, two are in Asia i.e. 46.6 million in India, 10.7 million in Pakistan and one in West Africa i.e. 13.9 million in Nigeria. The loss to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Pakistan is due to malnutrition which is estimated at 3 percent annually. Improving nutrition can have a powerful and positive multiplier effect across multiple aspects of development, including poverty, environmental sustainability, peace and stability. The government has shown its commitment to overcome vicious cycle of malnutrition and has pin-pointed stunting as the major setback in the development of the nation. Pakistan Multi-sectoral Nutrition Strategy (PMNS) has been formulated following the bottom up approach to fill gaps in planning and implementation. Nutrition and Food Consumption I. Food Availability: Pakistan produces enough food to meet the domestic dietary needs of the population. During 2018-19, the availability of staple food items has been estimated as adequate because of appropriate timely import and exports but slightly varied compared to previous year 2017-18 (Table 11.8). The availability of calories through major food commodities was 2480 in 2017-18 and is estimated to improve to 2530 calories in 2018-19 (Figure 11.7) Table 11.7: Food Availability(Kg) Per Capita per Annum 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Food Items Cereals 155.1 150.6 148.0 Pulses 5.2 8.1 5.3 Sugar 32.2 33.3 28.2 Milk* (Ltr) 163.3 165.0 167.6 Meat (Beef, Mutton & Poultry) 19.8 20.4 21.0 Eggs (Dozen) 6.5 7.2 7.0 Edible Oil/Ghee (Ltr) 14.3 14.1 15.2 P: provisional * Milk availability has been revised according to FAO criteria Source: Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform(Nutrition Section) 185 Fig 11.6: Availability of Calories per Capita per Day 2540 2530 2530 2520 2510 Calories Cost of Food Basket: The cost of minimum food basket providing 2,100 calories/ day and 60 gm protein/ day, has been calculated on monthly basis, using food prices data from Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.

Non communicable diseases are responsible for majority of global deaths and cancer is ranked second leading cause of death and single most important barrier to increasing life expectancy worldwide. Since the establishment of first nuclear medical center of PAEC in 1960 at Karachi, currently there are 18 Atomic Energy Cancer Hospital (AECHs) dedicated to serving poor cancer patients not only in major cities but also in remote areas like D.I Khan, Bannu, Swat, Nawabshah etc. They are diligently working to provide latest and comprehensive diagnostic and treatment facilities to cancer patients irrespective of stage of disease. AECHs are operated by skilled teams of more than 2,500 professionals, including doctors, scientists, engineers, paramedical, technical and other supportive staff. Construction of another AECH is underway at Gilgit which will be opened in next fiscal year while proposal for establishment of another two such centers are under consideration. Nuclear Medicine & Oncology (NM&O) Division Economic impact of cancer is significant and, on the rise, due increasing cancer burden. In Pakistan, there is no international standard cancer registry that can project cancer burden of country and in turn give insight to health sector to devise clear policy for cancer control and prevention. Since PAEC is catering major cancer burden of the country which is estimated to be around 75 percent of total cancer patients countrywide. NM&O Division of PAEC is working on establishing cancer registry representing data from all 18 AECHs. Achievements: In addition to management of patients, following targets have been achieved in current fiscal year: i. ii. iii. iv. Installation of new LINAC has been completed at AECH IRNUM, Peshawar for radiotherapy MRI based simulation for radiation therapy has been started for the first time in Pakistan at AECH INMOL, Lahore.

  219. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Demand Reduction and International Cooperation . The alarming drug production in Afghanistan is the main factor influencing the drug situation not only in Pakistan but world over. Afghanistan is producing more than 90 percent of the total world opium and is the largest producer of cannabis, about 40 percent of Afghan opiates/ drugs transit through Pakistan (World Drug Report of UNODC). Being a transit country, Pakistan is subjected to domestic spread/ use of drugs, as well. The flow/ smuggling of precursor chemicals to Afghanistan also pose serious challenges to Pakistan. Owing to porous border, loose border management and presence of numerous frequented and un-frequented routes, huge quantity of drugs are smuggled/ proliferated into Pakistan from Afghanistan. Crossborder drug trafficking can hardly be stopped, no matter how large a force is employed, unless optimum border control measures are put in place. The two strategic issues of drug production and loose border management between both the countries are of prime importance for effective control of narcotics trafficking. Moreover, Pakistan extends all-out support to the international community in the fight against the menace of drugs. Anti-Narcotics Policy The Anti-Narcotics Policy of Pakistan aims to re-energize existing national Drug Law Enforcement institutions, build the Anti Narcotics Force capacity, develop an effective coordination and control mechanism, and mobilize the people of Pakistan especially youth and institutions (national/international, private/public) to ensure their active participation in eradicating drugs. This policy also seeks to promote international cooperation for mutual support and partnership against narcotic drugs. Drug Supply Reduction Activities The Anti Narcotic Force Department (ANF) has taken numerous initiatives to fight drug hazards, various narcotic seizures were made and punishments were awarded to culprits during the period July-Dec 2018. Details are given in the following Tables: Table 11.9: Detail of punishment awarded to culprits Total decided cases 771 Convicted cases 631 Acquitted cases 54 Dormant / final order 86 Convicted persons 728 Acquitted persons 135 Conviction rate 92% Source: Narcotics Control Division The details of the operations conducted and seizures affected are as under:Table 11.10: Details of the operations conducted and seizures affected Raids Arrests Narco Drug Seized (In Kgs) Opium Heroin Hashish Cocaine Others 982 1128 6319.640 620.879 36780.810 6.242 • 125.842 Kgs Amph • 90.262 Kgs Meth • 18.441 Kgs Xanax Tabs • 3.353 Kgs Ecstasy Tabs • 16886 lits Sulphuric Acid • 2135.00 lits HCL Source: Narcotics Control Division i) Areas around educational institutions are being monitored on regular basis to stop/counter sale of drugs to students by peddlers/suppliers ii) Launching of campaign/ crackdown against drug peddlers involving Police under IATF (Inter Agencies Task Force) forum iii) Intelligence network of ANF has been expanded inside main cities to locate and smugglers/peddlers 188 hunt drug

Pakistan is acting as a front-line state in combating the menace of drugs. The government has taken number of initiatives to control spread and trafficking of illicit narcotics. However, Pakistan cannot fight this menace alone therefore; international cooperation is important pillar of Pakistan’s strategy against drugs. Ministry of Narcotics Control has signed 34 MoUs with different countries. From July, 2018 to March, 2019, Ministry of Narcotics Control has issued 1193 NOCs for import, export, local purchase, utilization and distribution of various precursor chemicals to different pharmaceutical and industrial firms. Narcotics Control Division has registered 157 firms for various precursor chemicals mentioned in Tables-I and II of the UN Convention 1988. 177 Pharmaceutical firms have been granted quota for different Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance. 3.

The present government is committed to increase the health coverage for the growing demand of increasing population. A number of efforts are underway to provide health facilities, increasing health expenditure and to meet goals under SDGs like Sehat Sahulat Program, Civil Registration & Vital Statistics, Deworm Islamabad Insensitive etc and taking expenses at health as investment rather considering it cost. 189

  222. CHAPTER 12 Population , Labour Force and Employment The population growth rate at 2.4 percent as depicted by the census 2017 was alarming. There had been moderate efforts in the past to address this high population growth rate along with lack of awareness among couples to maintain a moderate family size. The Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan, taking Family Planning as a human rights issue, took Suo Moto Notice on 4th July 2018 and constituted a Task Force to frame clear, specific and actionable recommendations to address matters relating to the alarming population growth. The Task Force, after a series of meetings, framed a set of recommendations aiming at enhancing contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) to 55 percent, lowering total fertility rate (TFR) to 2.1 and bringing down population growth rate to 1.5 percent. These recommendations were placed before the Supreme Court Bench and were thereafter approved with the following key points: 1. Establish national and provincial task forces for steering, providing oversight and taking critical decisions to reduce population growth, decrease fertility rate and increase contraceptive prevalence rate 2. Ensure universal access to Family Planning /Reproductive Health services 3. Federal government to create a five-year non-lapsable special fund for reducing population growth rate with an annual allocation of Rs10 billion. The fund shall be set up exclusively from federal resources without any cut from provincial funds 4. Introduce and implement legislation for population growth control 5. Advocate and communicate a national narrative of reducing population growth rate and achieve socio-economic wellbeing for all 6. Introduce curriculum on health, hygiene and population control in the primary, secondary schools, college and universities 7. Contraceptive commodity security 8. Joint declaration of Ulema made at Population Summit-2015, Islamabad to be widely advocated The Council of Common Interest (CCI) approved all the recommendations in principle and advised the Ministry of National Health Services Regulation and Coordination to prepare an Action Plan with financial modalities for operationalization of the recommendations in consultation with all relevant stakeholders. These recommendations would be implemented by the federal and provincial governments with active support from private sector, civil society organizations and international development partners. In pursuance to the direction / decision of CCI, the recommendations have been translated into an Action Plan, prepared in consultation with provincial governments, relevant and other implementing partners in the private sector. The Action Plan will enable advancing towards the national and provincial program objectives and targets. At the same time, it will help in assessing the extent of progress towards various international commitments such as Family Planning 2020, International
  223. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) beyond 2014 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. National Level Task Force for Population and Family Planning The federal government formed a taskforce on Population and Family Planning on 4th December 2018. This taskforce is headed by the Prime Minister and has representation of Chief Ministers from four provinces. The main purpose of this task force is to devise Strategy/ Action Plan and its best implementation, to achieve the desired objectives and targets relating to population. On similar lines, the provincial governments have also formed their respective taskforces which are headed by their Chief Minister along with other stakeholders as their members. The purpose is to have highest level commitment from the provinces so that a coordinated strategy is developed to tackle the population issue. The Punjab and Sindh Provincial Taskforces were formed on 30th November 2018, and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Taskforce was formed on 29th November 2018, while Baluchistan Taskforce formation is still in process. Deliberation and Discussion on forthcoming 12th Five Year Plan The federal government has initiated the process of developing 12th Five Year Plan for the period 2018-2023. After due thought process on the subject, following strategies have been agreed upon to be executed during the plan period:  Develop political ownership and strong governance mechanism to reduce the growth rate  Ensure Contraceptive Commodity Security and 100 percent coverage  Develop Functional Integration of Health and Population Welfare Departments  Reform high risk fertility behaviour and advocacy campaign  Partnership and Involvement of Development Partners and Private Sector  Instituting Research and Human Resource capacity building Table 12.1: Demographic Indicators Indicator Total population  Enhancing Female education, Labour Participation and Utilizing Demographic Dividend Demographic indicators Demographic statistics of a country plays an important role in making the plans and frame work for economic policies.

The long term national planning framework commits to pursuing women empowerment as a key priority area across all sectors of planning and development. It focuses on providing an enabling environment to every woman to develop their full potential to equally reap the benefits of economic and social development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also recognizes the importance of empowering women and Goal 5 is dedicated to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”. The targets for this goal aspire to end all forms of discrimination, eliminate violence against women and girls in all its manifestations such as; ensure health and reproductive rights, ensure political, social and economic participation of women. The other targets are of particular importance for enabling women’s economic empowerment. Achievements The government is fully cognizant of its constitutional responsibilities for protecting the rights of the women. Many initiatives have been taken for gender and women development. The initiatives include allocation of resources in Public Sector Development Program for promotion and protection of women through Human Rights and development initiatives. However, the impact of socio-cultural attitudes on women’s lives sometimes undermines their progress and status in society. Federal Ombudsperson for Protection of Women against harassment at Workplace has been established and is functional at federal and provincial level. Help-Line (1099) for legal advice on human rights violation is operational and has provided legal aid services to more than 5000 beneficiaries of human rights violation cases till the present. Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), a continued social protection program of the government is providing social assistance to women. Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal has established women empowerment 194
  226. Population , Labour Force and Employment centers/schools throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas. These schools are providing free training to widows, orphans and poor girls in different skills i.e. Drafting, Cutting, Sewing, Knitting, Hand & Machine Embroidery. Current strength of these schools is 155 (Punjab 64, Sindh - 30, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa/ Erst while FATA - 32, Balochistan -18 & ICT/AJK/ N. Areas -11). Local skills are also being imparted in these schools. Through Individual Financial Assistance (IFA) the poor, widows, destitute women, orphans and disabled persons are being supported through general assistance, education, medical treatment and rehabilitation. National Commission on the Status of Women The National Commission on the Status of Women is mandated by the NCSW Act 2012 to promote social, economic, political and legal rights of women as provided in the Constitution of Pakistan and in accordance with its international commitments. The NCSW has prepared a comprehensive roadmap defining goals, priorities and strategies for empowerment of women with special focus on issues of home based/informal sector workers and their inclusion in the labour force, affirmative actions for reservations of quotas in the government jobs including minority communities and initiatives for legislation. Violence against women is an important thematic area for NCSW. Its activities in this area include: i. Complaint mechanism to review and address complains of violence and abuse ii. Tracking of high profile cases: In order to identify gaps in access to justice NCSW tracks select high profile cases. Cases tracked in this period include: a. b. c. d. Domestic violence case Honour killing Cyber Crime Disclosing in public iii. Monitoring the implementation of Acid Crime (amended) Law and incidence of acid violence. Reported cases of acid crime are documented and followed up. By December, 2018 there has been a 50 percent decline in the incidence of acid crimes iv. NCSW pursued its petition in the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan for the banning of jirgas panchayats and other such forums that give convictions and penalties outside the framework of law. v. Follow up on Age of Marriage Bill: The Senate on 29th April, 2019 has passed the Child Marriage Restraint (Amendment) Bill, 2018 which proposes that the legal minimum age of marriage in the country be set at 18. The women entrepreneurship initiatives have been promoted by Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform and by ensuring their participation through awareness seminars / workshops, pitch events, seed money grants and networking sessions under the project “ Centre for Social Entrepreneurship “at a cost of Rs.178.43 million and Rs. 50.0 million has been allocated for FY 2018-19. The entrepreneurship initiatives included promotion of innovative business ideas based on social business plans leading to solution of social problems faced by the male and females in the society. The project is unique in addressing social issues through innovative business plans/ideas and women are equally provided opportunities to grow as a start up and entrepreneur and play their role as an active entrepreneur contributor in the society to address the social issues. The Centre has funded 9 social 195
  227. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 start-ups by granting seed money grant of Rs . 500,000/- each out of which 33 percent were led by women and generated employment opportunities for 179 people during last two quarters of 2018-19. The federal and provincial governments, including NGOs and civil society organizations are implementing the plans, programs and projects for promoting gender equality and women empowerment through interventions comprised of awareness raising campaigns and allocation of resources under Annual Development Programs. The women development departments have envisaged initiatives for establishment of working women hostels, daycare centers for children of working mothers, women crises centers, guidelines & awareness on work place harassment and shelter homes for homeless people in the ICT and provinces. The helpline against human rights violations, crises centers in the ICT and Human Rights Directorate has been established in the provinces. Labour force and Employment Employment growth is a challenge for any developing, labour abundant economy. In the past the plans were designed to set growth targets but less priority was given to employment generation. The present government has taken special initiatives to fulfill its commitment to create 10 million jobs during its tenure. The other great initiative of the government is to construct 5 million houses which will substantially contribute to employment creation due to its forward and backward linkages with other allied industries. Strengthening of Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Tourism and labourintensive sectors will also be prioritized. Box-1: Kamyab Jawan (SME) program: In order to generate more job opportunities for the youth, the government has launched a new program – the Kamyab Jawan program. Under this program, the National Bank of Pakistan, Bank of Punjab and Bank of Khyber will provide low cost loans to the youth (between 21 – 45 years) for establishing small businesses enterprises. These loans will be classified into three tiers. Tier I: Loans between Rs 100,000 and 0.5 million, with a debt-equity ratio 90:10 at interest rate of 6 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 500 bps. Tier II: Loans between Rs 0.5 and 10 million; with a debt equity ratio of 80:20 and carrying an interest rate of 8 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 400 bps. Tier III: Loans between Rs 10 and 25 million; with a debt equity ratio defined by bank’s lending policy; and carrying an interest rate of 9 percent. The government will pay the difference between the applied interest rate and KIBOR + 400 bps. Over the next 5 years, it is estimated, that 138 thousand youth will benefit from Kamyab Jawan program, with banks disbursing a cumulative sum of Rs 200 billion. Source: Implementation and Economic Reform Unit Employment Generation under CPEC Program Huge inflow of US $60 billion investment under CPEC will generate massive economic activities and thereby employment opportunities. Apart from focusing on energy, infrastructure and Gwadar projects, 9 Special Economic Zones are being established under CPEC portfolio, which will create tremendous job opportunities and technological transformation. Priority will also be given to align technical institutions and training with CPEC related trades and demand of Special Economic Zones. The early harvest projects under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have created more than 75,000 direct jobs and 200,000 allied jobs for Pakistanis while the midterm and long projects under CPEC are poised to create more than 700,000 employment opportunities in the country. 196
  228. Population , Labour Force and Employment Employable Skills through National Institute of Science and Technical Education (NISTE) The National Institute of Science and Technical Education (NISTE) is an attached department of the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, which aims at transforming the unskilled/semi-skilled manpower into skilled manpower. NISTE is playing a pivotal role in imparting employable skills training to youth in various trades. In order to address the shortage of skilled human resource at all levels in the country, NISTE has been upgraded into a National Skills University (NSU), Islamabad. Skill Development Program The government has accorded high priority to skill development. Earlier, through an Act of the Parliament, the NAVTTC was created as an apex body and a national regulatory authority to address the challenges of TVET. The details of the initiatives are as follows:  Special emphasis has been laid on giving pivotal role to industry and private sector in TVET sector development. Three Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) have been established in the Construction, Hospitality and Textile sectors. National Skill Council (NSC) has been established to bring all the stakeholders on board. The concept of Institute Management Committees (IMCs) has been introduced for the first time in Pakistan at the TVET institute level, which gives greater representation to private sector in the management and training delivery in the TVET institutes.  Pakistan is now a member of the World-Skills which is the collective voice for skills excellence and development in vocational, technological and service oriented careers around the globe.  A large number of Pakistani youth acquires training through informal sector; known as the "Ustad-Shagird" system. In the absence of a formal certification for their skills, such youth do not get employment as skilled workers, in both national and international markets. To enhance employment prospects for such youth, a system “Recognition of Prior Learning” (RPL) has been launched as a tool to recognize/certify the skills acquired through informal/unregulated means.  To collect latest market data on skills demands in the national and international job markets and create real time linkages with prospective employers, National Skills Information System (NSIS) has been established with state of the art technologies.  For the first time in Pakistan, a National Job Portal has been introduced to link skilled workers with employers. Skill profiles of more than 550,000 youth are available on the National Job Portal. Additionally, NAVTTC has also established Job Placement Centres (JPCs) at Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore and more than 100 Job Placement and Vocational Counseling Centers (JP&VCCs) across the country for the benefit of youth.  Internationally recognized, Competency based training (CBT) modules have been introduced in the country to replace the traditional mode of training. With the introduction of CBT, Pakistan is now able to deliver training in accordance with the internationally demanded and recognized requirements. Labour Force Statistics According to Labour Force Survey, 2017-18, the unemployment rate has decreased to 5.79 percent in 2017-18.

The share of agriculture-related employment has declined from more than 48.42 percent in 1999-2000 to 38.5 percent by 2017-18. This shows almost 10 percentage points decline. However, services and manufacturing sectors are major contributors, showing increasing trends of employment. The services sector is the largest growing sector of the economy and the share of employment in services sector is increasing as compared to other sectors. The employment ratio has increased from 34.25 percent in 1999-2000 to 37.6 percent in 2017-18 as this sector provide jobs which are diverse in nature such as unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled and high skilled which includes doctors, engineers, advocates, builders and financial consultants In these sectors the total participation rate has increased. The share of employment in industry sector (manufacturing and construction) has increased from 17.33 percent in 1999-2000 to 23.89 percent in 2017-18. Due to increasing share of the services and manufacturing sectors and declining share of agriculture in employment, the labour market in Pakistan is experiencing structural changes in its composition.

As such, Ehsas program aims at creating employment opportunities by working in partnership with private sector. This entire agenda of Ehsas is heavily skewed towards the uplift of poor women—from the 6 million women who are estimated to benefit from the “Kifalat” to preferential support for women through “Tahafaz”. More than 50 percent of the education vouchers and scholarships will be given to women. Insaf Card covers health conditions for women preferentially. Not just health and education, but jobs and economic empowerment is crucial for poor women. In this regard, the graduation initiative solely serves women. Through the recommendations of the Labour Expert Group, the government will explore ways to recognize the work of all categories of non-agricultural informal economy workers and agricultural workers and pave the way for their coverage under labour legislation pertaining to wages and other conditions of work. Unemployment by Age According to Labour Force Survey 2017-18 the overall unemployment rate was 5.79 percent. In Fig4 the age bracket of 20-24 shows highest unemployment rate of 15.17 percent for the females and 10.5 percent for male Moreover, youth unemployment rate is quite high as compared to the average unemployment rate.

  231. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Regional analysis of Unemployment Rate The unemployment situation in the region is comparatively better than in Pakistan except Iran . The unemployment statistics shows that Pakistan's unemployment rate at 5.79 percent is higher than that of India (2.6 percent), Bangladesh (4.3 percent), and Sri-Lanka (4.4 percent). Improvement in infrastructure and skill development programs Fig-5: Regional Unemployment Rate have played important role to create employment 12.0 opportunities in these countries Formal and Informal Employment 5.79 The informal sector plays an important and 4.4 4.3 controversial role. The key sectors of 2.6 employment in the informal economy are wholesale & retail trade, manufacturing, community/social and personal services, Pakistan Bangladesh India Iran srilanka construction and transport. The informal workers Source: World Development Indicators are not regulated by labour laws or protected by the state. The informal economy provides jobs and help to reduce unemployment but in many cases jobs are low paid. This sector employs 72.0 percent in 2017-18. The employment ratio in rural informal sector is 76.0 percent which is higher as compared to that in urban areas (68.3 percent) in 2017-18. Formal sector did not show considerable changes with respect to employment level during 20152018 period and total employment in this sector marginally increased from 27.4 percent to 28.0 percent.

International migration creates significant financial and social benefits for migrants, for their families, and for the countries of origin and destination. Pakistan is one of the largest labour exporting countries of the region and since 1971 more than 10.61 million Pakistanis have proceeded abroad for employment. It is evident from the Table 12.7 that there is a major decline in manpower export to Saudi Arabia where only 100910 emigrants proceeded for employment in year 2018 as compared to 2017, a drop of 42453 emigrants. On the other hand, manpower export to UAE also decreased in 2018. In recent years, Malaysia emerged as an important destination country for Pakistani workers as in 2018 an increase of 38 percent manpower export towards Malaysia was observed as compared to 2017. Due to the present government‘s efforts for enhancing manpower export, an increasing trend has been observed in Qatar which is a positive sign. 200

From Northern areas the number of registered workers increased from 3417 in 2017 to 4185 in 2018. However, the situation in other provinces is not encouraging which shows that there is a need to understand the changing trends/dynamics of labour importing countries in order to meet the manpower demand in future.

During 2018, there has been a declining trend in all occupational groups except in the highly qualified category. The scope for low skilled workers is declining and competition among expatriates is increasing. The upskilling and certification of workforce is the pressing need of the time to meet the international standards and demand. In this regard the role of NAVTTC, TEVTAs and Higher Education Commission (HEC) is crucial to produce skilled and qualified workforce. Moreover, efforts are required at Government to Government (G2G) level to secure employment opportunities for the Pakistani workforce. Table 12.9: Profession Wise Pakistani Workers Registered.

However, government is well aware of this problem and is making efforts to control the population growth rate through various population welfare programs which are expected to contribute in controlling population growth rate, fertility rate, infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate. The size of the working age population is increasing and this working age population can be a productive asset for the country if properly trained through market demand led skill development programs. In this regard, the government has initiated various programs for their skill development and is also making sincere efforts to explore overseas employment opportunities which will help in addressing the unemployment issue. 202
  234. CHAPTER 13 Transport and Communication Sustainable economic development of Pakistan is dependent on a robust and low-cost transport and logistics sector . Enhanced export competitiveness is also contingent upon the efficient performance of the sector. The government is aware of the vital role the transport and logistics sector plays in national economic development and in improving the competitiveness in country’s export. It is, therefore, committed to implement a comprehensive development initiative and modernizing the transport & logistics sector through a continuous process of reform supported by focused investments in all of its sub-sectors. Road Linkage National Highway Authority (NHA) is playing a vital role in improving the quality of Pakistan's road network, which entails in improving the quality and standard of life of the people apart from creating job opportunities. The present NHA network comprises of 47 national highways, motorways, expressways, and strategic roads. Current length of this network is 12,743 Km. NHA's existing portfolio consists of 38 on-going projects with an allocation of Rs.176,636.80 million in PSDP 201819 out of which 66,700.00 million is the Foreign Exchange Component (FEC) and Rs.109,936.80 million is the local component. There are also 08 new schemes in PSDP 2018-19 with total estimated cost of Rs. 8,561.00 million. NHA and CPEC: Through CPEC, NHA is connecting Khunjrab to Gwadar.

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) The “All-weather” friendship between Pakistan and China is based on shared principles and interests that form the foundation of cooperation in diverse fields. In the shape of CPEC, both governments have made a conscious effort to focus on expanding the economic dimension of the relationship and bring it up at par with the high level cooperation the two countries enjoy at the strategic and political level. CPEC complements Pakistan’s economic growth and socio economic development. It forms a significant part of the Chinese concept of developing Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st century Maritime Silk route. Through CPEC, Pakistan is harnessing its Geo Strategic location into a GeoEconomic advantage and the region will be integrated into an economic hub promising a great future for its populace. CPEC is the flagship and most actively implemented project of Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) where 206

  240. Transport and Communication Air linkage Pakistan International Airlines Corporation (PIAC) came into existence in 1955 as Public Sector organization. However, in April 2016 it was converted from a statuary organization to a company governed by Companies Act 1984, through Pakistan International Airlines Limited (PIAL conversion) Act 2016. At present PIA is passing through a dire financial state. However, the present government is very keen to make itself-reliant. Efforts are underway to improve the financial health of the corporation by reducing its losses through various means and modes. Stringent action is being taken against corruption and mismanagement. PIA follows calendar year for financial and operational matters. The overall performance of PIA for 2018 is given below; Table 13.8: PIA Performance Indicators PIA Fleet Route Available Seat Passenger Load Factor Revenue Flown Revenue Hours Flown Revenue Passengers Carried Revenue Passengers Revenue Tonne Revenue Load Factor Operating Revenue ** Operating Expenses ** Available Tonne Units No. of planes Kms millionKms in percent 000 Kms Hours 000 nos. millionKms millionKms in percent Rs. million Rs. million millionKms Year 2015 38 367,251 16,666 70.3 67,630 111,455 4,393 11,711 1,191 48.9 91.269 121.222 2,435 Year 2016 38 382,057 19,196 71.6 79,842 131,838 5,487 13,751 1,375 49.2 89,842 125,961 2,798 Year 2017 36 360,937 19,108 73.20 75,207 122,081 5,342 13,988 1,469 55.2 2,659 Year 2018 32 332,303 18,081 77.3 70,089 110,050 5,203 13,975 1,472 58.4 100,051 170,447 2,521 * PIA financial year is based on calendar year i.e. January to December. **Revenue & Cost is based on provisional / estimated & un-audited accounts Source: Civil Aviation Authority Despite financial constraints and tough and uneven competitive environment, PIACL gave a stable performance during 2018.

Presently, a tender has been floated for four narrow body aircrafts according to PPRA rules  PIA has submitted its business plan to the federal government and now it is under consideration for approval of Federal Cabinet. Maritime Linkage Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) PNSC has achieved substantial growth in revenue of 35 percent (from Rs.1,272 million to Rs.1,717 million) in managed bulk carrier segment and growth of 28 percent (from Rs.3,001 million to Rs.3,833 million) in liquid cargo segment through its managed vessels. The present government encouraged the use of alternative energy, which is cost effective, and environment friendly as compared to furnace oil. Restrictions were imposed on import of furnace oil resulting in energy shift towards inexpensive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which hampered the operational revenue of PNSC through foreign flag tankers chartering with a decline of 71 percent (from Rs.1,690 million to Rs.491 million). Likewise, there is a decline of 7 percent (from Rs.1,41 0 million to Rs.1,317 million) in slot charter segment, which is also primarily due to the reduction in the import of public sector cargoes. Cumulatively, PNSC achieved a turnover of Rs.7,478 million (including Rs.1,928 million from PNSC) as compared to Rs.7,522 million (including Rs. 3,249 million from PNSC) for the corresponding period last year. Fleet Direct operating expenses decreased to Rs. 5,500 million (including Rs.1,104 million from PNSC) from Rs.5,747 million (including Rs.1,738 million from PNSC), thereby resulting in gross profit of Rs.1,852 million as against Rs.1,656 million for the same period last year. Despite of some adverse factors, PNSC profitability has increased by 61 percent with profit after tax of Rs.1,402 million during this period against Rs.872 million in the same period last year ensuring the best utilization of resources. Earnings per share for the PNSC increased to Rs.10.62 against Rs.6.60 in previous corresponding period. Two LR-1 tankers are added in PNSC's managed fleet namely "M.T. Bolan" and "M.T. Khairpur". These additions have increased the PNSC's managed fleet deadweight tonnage to 831,711 tons, which is largest in the history. The new inductions of oil tankers in managed fleet not only cater the demand of Motor Gasoline transportation but also impart modern technological advancements on board. These inductions will also curtail reliance on foreign-chartered vessels for oil transportation, to encounter the existing and foreseeable external challenges, and to gear up for current and future economic challenges. 1.

PNSC has recently acquired two (02) LR-1 product tankers, which will boost PNSC's cargo carrying capacity and would further contribute to increase in revenue generation of the Corporation. While, in medium term PNSC intends to expend its dry bulk and liquid fleet and also intended to get into transportation of LNG and LPG business. However, in long term the ultimate objective of corporation is to enhance and maintain deadweight carrying capacity of over 1.5 million tons by 2025. 3. Fleet strength: PNSC's current fleet comprises of 11 vessels (4 Aframax tankers, 2 LR-1 product tankers and 5 bulk carriers) with a total deadweight (DWT) capacity of 831,711 metric tons and contributes significantly to Pakistan's imports and export volumes whereas on the other hand operate worldwide earning foreign exchange for the government exchequer.

It is the second greatest monument of Pak-China friendship after Karakoram Highway linking Pakistan and China. Gwadar Port is about 630 km away from Karachi and 120 km from the Iranian border. It is located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, outside the Strait of Hormuz, near the key shipping routes in and out of the Persian Gulf. Port Operators The government has signed a concession agreement with Singapore Port Authority International (PSAI) in 2007. But there was no considerable progress till 2013. In May 2013, the port’s Concessional Rights were transferred to the new operator, viz China Overseas Ports Holding Company Limited (COPHCL). Since the concessions were handed-over to COPHCL, it has been working on improving port facilities, surrounding environment and port businesses. The port operator had invested more than $ 40 million for port facilities up-gradation. This is now fully operational and receiving commercial vessels on regular basis since March 2018. Gwadar Port Free Zone  The construction of Free Zone Phase-I has been completed with all infrastructures, including power, water, road, telecommunication, waste treatment, drainage systems are now in operation. More than 30 enterprises, involving the fields of banks, insurance, financial leasing, hotels, warehouses, fishery products processing, edible oil processing, pipe, furniture manufacturing, electric vehicle assembly, trade and logistics, have already been registered in Free Zone.  Following 03 companies have completed the construction; • M/S China Communication Construction Company (Business Center) • M/S Linyi Trade City (Exhibition Center) and • M/S Yulin Company (Steel Tube Industry) 02 companies have started the construction, namely as M/S Delight Food Industries (Extraction of edible oil) and M/S HK Sons (copper recycling & processing). However, despite the completion of their units these companies will not be able to start the operations in the absence of Free Zone rules and policy. They are unable to import raw materials due to non-availability of Free Zone incentives for businesses to be established in Gwadar Free Zone. 214
  246. Transport and Communication • Work on the main Free Zone on 2,220 acres of land will be started soon for which China Port Holding Company (COPHC) has completed the master planning and feasibility work. Commercial Activities Gwadar Port has handled last year around 7.156 Metric Ton cargo from 53 ships. The Chinese Operator is working on increasing the number of ship calls at the port. Two ship-liners (COSCO & Sino-Trans) are calling regularly at the port. From 7th March, 2018 weekly container service has been started by COSCO.

The sector was de-regulated in 2003 after the promulgation of the de-regulation policy. Resultantly, two new cellular mobile licenses were awarded to M/s Telenor and M/s Warid through an open auction. Later on, China Mobile acquired Paktel and started providing mobile cellular services. In addition, multiple Long Distance & International (LDI) and Local Loop licenses were granted to local and international companies. Frequency spectrum was also auctioned to different companies for Wireless Local loop (WLL) operations. 1. Telecom Sector A. Policy Interventions i. Revision of Policies for Device Identification, Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS) 2018-19: With the aim to curtail the counterfeit mobile phone market, deter mobile phones theft and to protect consumer interest in line with the duly approved Telecom Policy 2015 issued by Ministry of Information Technology & Telecommunication, PTA developed/established a “Device Identification Registration & Blocking System (DIRBS)”in collaboration with all Cellular Mobile Operators. DIRBS acts as a central system and database for all network operators to share and synchronize information about black listed mobile devices to deny operations to such unauthorized devices on any network. The system besides above mentioned benefits also enables a unique opportunity to eliminate smuggling of new and used mobile phones as only white listed devices i.e. those with valid IMEIs formally cleared by the PTA/Customs, will be allowed to operate on the networks, henceforth. ii. Determination of underserved areas for the launch of Next Generation Broadband in under-served areas of Pakistan. The Universal Services Fund Company (USF Co.) launched projects to provide telecommunication coverage to approximately 12,000 unserved Mauzas with a population of around 15 million, across all provinces of Pakistan. In these areas, provision of telecom services was not commercially viable for Telecom Operators and without intervention from USF Co., the general population would have remained deprived of telecom connectivity. The new flagship program of USF Co. is the Next Generation Broadband for Sustainable Development (NG-BSD). This program provides enhanced Broadband data rates (512kbps) to Unserved and Underserved population of the country facing limited or no data coverage. 215
  247. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 The Federal Cabinet approved the declaration of the following areas as Underserved for inclusion in USF ’s Program, aimed at the provision of Next Generation Broadband to a population of 30,435,725 in 11,915 Under-Served Mauzas of Pakistan: Pishin, Nasirabad, Mastung, Turbat, Sukkur, Dadu, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, Chitral, DG Khan, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar and Rahimyar Khan. iii. Spectrum Plan A comprehensive draft Spectrum Plan and Strategy is prepared by the close collaboration of stakeholder including MoITT, FAB, PTA and spectrum veterans. The draft has been improved during the year 2018 and approval process for same is being initiated during the current fiscal year. iv. Cyber Governance The formulation of Cyber Governance Policy is in process and all stakeholders are being taken on board. B. Infrastructure Development in Unserved and Underserved Areas of the Country Through the Universal Service Fund, this Ministry is committed to minimize the Information and communication gap between rural and urban communities. To connect the unconnected in the unserved and underserved areas of the country, projects are being designed under different categories each bridging the gap of necessary services and associated systems. i. Broadband for Sustainable Development (BSD) Program A flagship program to establish telecommunication infrastructure that provides coverage of Voice and Broadband Internet Services to unservedmauzas across the country. More than 7,000 unservedmauzas across the country have been provided with coverage through USF. In current Fiscal Year, 925 mauzas have been served by USF under previously running projects. Whereas, Rs. 3 billion have been disbursed upon completion of different project milestones. Furthermore, USF has launched a new project to provide services in 401 unservedmauzas of North Waziristan Agency, FR Bannu and FR LakkiMarwat. Necessary codal formalities are being completed for signing of contract worth Rs.135 million. ii. Next Generation – Broadband for Sustainable Development (BSD) Program The program offers enhanced broadband services along with voice services and has recently been ratified by Cabinet. The target areas are unserved and underserved mauzas. Approximately 30 million un/underserved population in 46 districts will benefit from this program in next 4 years. 5 Lots to be auctioned this year have been designed targeting 4,000 mauzas in 12 districts namely Dadu, Jamshoro, Thatta, Matiari, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Badin, Sujawal, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan and Bahawalnagar. iii. Next Generation BSD Program for National Highways and Motorways It is a new program which is evolved from BSD program and has been launched in current financial year. The program targets unserved areas along the national highways and motorways across the country. It is estimated that around 7,700 kms of routes are un-served. A salient feature of this program is national roaming that facilitates commuters to get seamless coverage 216
  248. Transport and Communication irrespective of their originally subscribed networks . These will be first of their kind projects to offer this facility in Pakistan. In current fiscal year, USF has successfully launched a project to provide coverage along the unserved segments, spanning 669 kms, on National Highway 10 and national highway 25 (partially). iv. Optic Fiber Cable Program(OFC) USF Optic Fiber Cable program is concentrating on connecting the unserved Tehsil Headquarters (THQs) and major town enroute 6,951 kms of OFC has been laid and 84 THQs and Towns have been provided with the connectivity. In current fiscal year, 59 THQs and major towns will be connected under OFC Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and OFC FATA Packages by laying more than 1,200 kms of Optic Fiber Cable. v. Broadband Program The program was initiated in 2007 whereby urban areas of 2nd and 3rd tier cities were provided with the broadband infrastructure.

PTA has also been nominated as Chairman of Policy Regulations and Services (PRS) working group of STARC. The working group will be concentrating in the areas of regulatory approaches to enhance QoS of mobile operators, digital financial services and harmonizing ICT indicators in SATRC. Local Manufacturing & Assembly of Mobile Handsets In order to encourage development of local manufacturing of mobile handsets, PTA took an initiative by introducing a regime enabling PTA type approval holder companies to setup plants in Pakistan for manufacturing/assembly of mobile handsets. This initiative was first strategic step towards encouraging local manufacturing of mobile handsets in Pakistan. After introduction of this regime, over 16 companies have obtained permissions for local assembly of mobile handsets and have installed assembling plants that are fully operational. On average, a total of 3.3 million handsets are being assembled each month in Pakistan. This step of PTA has created over 3,200 jobs in the market and enabled young professionals to have skill development in this specialized field. Reducing Retail Tariff for Mobile Services Mobile Termination Rates (MTR) plays a critical role in driving the retail tariffs especially for offnet calls. In view of the changing market structure of the cellular mobile segment and considering that the last change in MTR was made in 2010, a review of the existing MTR @ Rs. 0.90/min was required in Pakistan. Based on the comments, hearing and meetings, the authority has reduced the MTR for all types of calls i.e. local, long distance and international incoming calls) terminated on mobile networks from other mobile networks or fixed networks from Rs. 0.90 to Rs. 0.80 from 1 st January 2019 which will be further reduced to Rs. 0.70 by 2020. Subsequently, the MTR will be reviewed in coming years in line with international best practices. Encouraging Financial Inclusion NFIS council’s approved Assan Mobile Account (AMA) scheme that requires establishment of a unified Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) platform through a Third Party Service Provider (TPSP). PTA has issued 2 licenses of TPSP that will be instrumental for interoperability and launch of AMA scheme aimed to bring huge unbanked population in banking channels. PTA held a series of meetings with industry and SBP for the integration of CMOs and TPSP. Currently, MoUs have been signed between TPSP licensee and all CMOs, and TPSP has completed Proof of 223
  255. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Concept (POC) activities with PMCL (Jazz), Telenor and Ufone. End-to-end testing has been completed. A successful live demo of AMA system was presented to Finance Minister on 17th October 2018. PTA expects that AMA scheme will be operational shortly in collaboration with State Bank of Pakistan. In the mobile banking market, mobile wallet accounts and agents are playing instrumental role. The biometrically verified SIMs have facilitated the growth of m-wallet accounts during last few years and significant growth has been seen i.e. m-wallet accounts in Pakistan were only 20 million in 2016 which have grown to 39 million in 2018.. Quality of Service Surveys PTA continuously strives to ensure that the consumers of telecom services get the best quality telecom services. PTA already issued QoS Regulations, therefore in order to monitor the compliance status, during the Jul-Dec 2018, PTA has conducted Quality of Service (QoS) survey jointly with Cellular Mobile Operators (CMOs) using NEMO automated QoS tools. During the period, a total of fifteen (15) cities of Pakistan (Bahrain, Madyan, Kalam, Naran, NathiaGali, MalamJabba, Peshawar, Quetta, Ziarat, Lodhran, Multan, Mirpurkhas and Badin) have been surveyed. The performance of data services of CMOs has been checked by measuring user data throughput and signal strength Key Performance Indicators(KPIs). The quality of data and voice exchange on the cellular mobile networks has been measured for all the CMOs under several indicators. It can be observed that all operators are meeting the standard for Signal Strength (RSCP) of 3G, network accessibility, service accessibility, call completion ratio, inter system handover of circuit switched voice, sms success rate and end-to-end SMS delivery time. Results of the survey are available for general public on PTA website. Standardization of BVS Devices to Ensure Security Features of SIM Issuance Process Pakistan Telecom Authority introduced Biometric Verification System (BVS) for mobile users back in the year 2014 and currently all users have been properly verified. However, PTA received a few complaints regarding misuse of the BVS devices. Analysis revealed that some BVS devices, being used for issuance of SIMs are substandard and lack security features. PTA took an initiative to conduct an on-ground check of BVS devices in the market for which, services of a 3rd Party vendor were sought. After thorough study, hardware and software specifications, Live Fingerprint Detection (LFD) functionality and device communication & physical security parameters were checked during the exercise. On the basis of activity observations/recommendations, the SOP for SIM sale and verification has been revised by PTA and the same is currently being finalized in consultation with stakeholders. Public Wifi PTA has recently laid down the regulations on "Data Retention of Internet extended to WiFiHotspots" aimed to expand wifi access on public places. These regulations are for the access providers and class licensing registration licensees with the mandate to register, maintain and retain information of person(s) using data services through Wi-Fi Hotspot at public places. The owners of public Wi-Fi Hotspot are required under these regulations to maintain a log of information of the users for ‘minimum six months’. We expect that service provider will be able to provide wifi services all across the country on public places that would be helpful for consumer to remain connected all the time. 224
  256. Transport and Communication Re-designed Complaint Management System PTA has launched a new official mobile responsive consumer complaint management system in November 2018 . The aim of the re-designed system is to provide ease and facilitation to the general public for lodging of online complaints through user-friendly interface. The system will resolve complaints within the stipulated turn-around time and consumers will also be able to check the online status of submitted complaints though centralized automated application. Consumers can lodge their complaints by providing necessary required information. The web system is also mobile responsive and user can easily access it through their mobile devices. Fund raising for Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dam Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan took initiative to raise funds for construction of Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dam and vide its order dated 11th July 2018 directed to setup a Toll Free number and short code for fund raising through donations. Accordingly, PTA issued instructions to operators and extensive coordination among operators and Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan was made for smooth functioning of the system. Under the arrangement, people can send SMS to 8000 to donate Rs. 10/- for Dams construction under which CMOs have collected so far an amount of Rs. 146.4 million through donations. Further PTA issued instructions to NTC, PTCL and all other operators to make SBP’s UAN 021-111-727-273 as Toll Free. It happened first time that a UAN was made Toll Free with necessary technical and billing adjustments at the end of each FLL, CMO and WLL in Pakistan.

The private electronic media has come a long way since 2002 when Pakistan was only dominated by the state-run Pakistan Television and Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation. Now with almost 88 Pakistani electronic media channels and more than 37 channels with landing rights permission in Pakistan, the role of PEMRA has never been more important. This boom is owed to the government’s unequivocal commitment to a free media and the proactive role played by PEMRA in facilitating the growth of the electronic media. The growth of TV channels, Cable TV and launch of FM Radio stations has indeed contributed remarkably in raising the standards of public awareness and literacy, locally and portraying progressive image of Pakistan, globally. A glance at the following facts and figures on licensing of media amply substantiates growth, which has taken place in electronic media in private sector in the last seventeen years: 225

  264. CHAPTER 14 Energy Energy is an integral part of the economic order of Pakistan because energy demand and economic growth share a tight bond . Pakistan is overcoming a severe energy crisis that has directly and indirectly affected all sectors of the economy especially in terms of the evolving energy-mix. The energy side bottlenecks have corroded the economy of the country in the past as well. To fix such congestions and bottlenecks for the smooth delivery of energy services, massive projects with great political optics were incorporated to the supply side in between years 2013-18, adding a cumulative capacity of 12,230 MW. Although the added capacity has helped ease the bottlenecks at generation side, yet the transmission and distribution side congestion and inefficiencies has hampered the sustained delivery of energy services. Additionally, the higher energy prices in the current times as well as in the near future, are a bi-product of such aggressive capacity additions during 2013-18. Prime Minister (PM) formed task force on Energy to propose immediate, medium and long-term policy interventions with the aim to provide indigenous, affordable and sustainable energy for all. Further, National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) has prepared and submitted Indicative Generation Capacity Expansion Plan (IGCEP) 2018-40 to National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), the electricity regulator. This expansion plan is a part of the Integrated Energy Plan, which will include power, as well as petroleum demand and supply plans until 2047. Such evidence based policy instruments and documents are momentous achievements for the entire power sector of Pakistan. The plan envisaged transformation of power generation sector from thermal production to renewables and nuclear power. In this context, looking ahead until 2047 one can learn a lot from the previous few decades of primary energy supplies and how the energy mix of Pakistan has evolved over time. In term of energy-mix, Pakistan reliance on oil reached 43.5 percent in FY1998 and FY2001. For the FY2018, oil reliance has reduced to 31.2 percent. Similarly, hydro had a 13.1 percent share in FY1998, which is standing at 7.7 percent in 2017-18. Though the declining share of oil is a welcoming sign due to less burden on the national exchequer, the diminishing share of hydro represents the shortsightedness of policy as well as the inability of successive governments to undertake such capital-intensive projects in a timely manner. Pakistan dependence on natural gas reached an all-time high of 50.4 percent in FY2006 in the overall energy mix. For the FY2018, reliance on gas has reduced to 34.6 percent. This reduction of share in the energy mix is somewhat attributed to declining natural gas reserves as well as restricted consumption of gas in the transport industry and the induction of LNG since 2015. The share of imported LNG has increased from 0.7 percent in FY2015 to 8.7 percent in FY2018, which represent a magnanimous increase of the said fuel in an energy mix. The share of coal has remained in single digit percentages over the last two decades. However, this FY2018 has recorded a high of 12.7 percent coal consumption in the energy mix. Likewise, the share of renewables was recorded to be 0.3 percent in the year FY2015, which was steadily increased to 1.1 percent in FY2018. The share of nuclear on the other side has steadily increased to 2.7 percent in FY2018 compared to 0.2 percent in FY1997. Such historical variability for each energy source in the energy mix of the country has been used to formulate the Integrated Energy Plan. The Integrated Energy Plan will not only help in
  265. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 envisioning the energy demands and respective supply paths of the future but also to formulate evidence based long term policy options . Global and Regional Perspective A look at International Energy Agency (IEA) Global Energy forecast (World Energy Outlook 2018) highlights that the fastest energy growth will occur in Africa followed by Middle East and then Asia Pacific. The next in line is the Central and South America, which will experience tremendous growth. In contrast, electricity demand in Europe and North America are each expected to increase much lesser but still be in positive account with regard to a double-digit growth. Regionally, primary energy demand in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow by over 40% to 2040, based on the IEA’s central scenario, accounting for two-thirds of the global growth. China’s blue sky policy, the enforcement of coal-to-gas switching, and the structural shifting in China’s economy to a consumer base from an industrial base; all represent the shifting trends of the regional market leader. In the western world, the increase in energy demand due to higher living standards is offset by energy efficiency gains borne by the use of energy efficient technology and energy conserving programs and policies. Thus, global energy supply is seeing a shift towards renewable energy growth and a transitioning and resilient grid. The developed countries are restructuring their energy systems to integrate distributed energy in general and renewable energy in particular, with visible changes being made on the technological front through switching to low carbon technology to mitigate and adapt to the climate change. Vision of the government: A broader picture Pakistan energy requirements are increasing rapidly. The government is focused to ensure availability and security of sustainable supply and delivery of energy service along with the development of natural resources and minerals. Ensuring energy security with affordability and universal access based on indigenous resources is the goal of the current government. Pakistan is blessed with enormous hydro and coal potential, which, if carefully exploited, can ensure our future energy security on long-term basis. Utilizing distributed resources in indigenous capacity while meeting the demands of volatile economic sine curves of growth and development, require a perspective of sustainable energy utility with resilience and adaptive capacity at core and at large. The Ministry of Energy is tasked with expansion in the capacity of delivering energy, requiring supporting expansion in the transmission infrastructure for evacuation of the power. The government has encouraged local and foreign investment in the generation, transmission and distribution supply chains of the delivery of service to fuel the economy. Anti-theft campaign The immediate focus of the government has remained on reducing the losses and increasing effectiveness of the whole value chain. Launch of Anti-theft campaign with the formation of special task forces in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been launched since 13th October, 2018. Within a short span of 3 months (September to November 2018). A total of 6880 cases were detected resulting in registration of 1441 FIRs with the amount of detection bill charged reaching PKR 267.571 Million. Power Division, Ministry of Energy has given a target to DISCOs to recover PKR 80 billion from old receivables while freezing the receivable figures as they stood on 31st October 2018. Further, DISCOs have been given a target to recover another PKR 60 billion by controlling theft and improving governance and efficiency. 234
  266. Energy Activities boosting the efficiency of governance of the power sector has already started across Pakistan and showing positive results . Reducing losses, increasing efficiency and recovering the receivables provides much needed financial cushion to the already burdened power sector with subsidies. Along with other subsidies; Industrial support package (ISP) subsidy has been continued at PKR 3 per unit for industries while for five main exports oriented industries (zero rated industry), the tariff has been capped at the rate of US cents 7.5 per unit for electricity and USD 6.5 per MMBTU for RLNG. The government’s support to Industrial sector aims to boost the manufacturing activity and help to enhance exports of value added products. It also aims to stimulate economic activity leading to greater job opportunities in the country. Additionally for our vulnerable farmers, agricultural tube well subsidy in Baluchistan has been extended until the end of calendar year 2019 while for the rest of the country the subsidy has been extended at a lesser rate of 5.35 PKR per unit. The activities aimed at improving efficiency and reducing losses of the power sector, in the long run, will help in setting off of the impact of Industrial support package (ISP) subsidy, thus providing more flexibility to the national exchequer. The government has a policy understanding of proconsumer tariff determination and on war footing has also released PKR 130 billion as subsidy for the agriculture and industrial sectors along with tariff differential subsidy. As far as reducing losses and increasing effectiveness are concerned, advance technology is to be deployed as a policy measure. As such, advanced metering infrastructure is being launched with the help of $ 400 Million committed for the first phase by Asian Development Bank (ADB). Customer Complaint Management System has resolved 81,174 out of the 82,189 received complaints. Removing the constraints for efficient transmission, the ministry has identified 40 major areas and has divided the respective work into different phases. In addition to reducing losses, a massive sum of taxpayer money is being spent on the subsidy of 30,000 tube wells in the province of Baluchistan. A feasibility is being undertaken on the prospects of solarization of agri-tube wells thus providing off grid solutions and reducing the burden on taxpayers. Long-term Policy frameworks for renewable energy, national electricity planning and forecasting the demands of energy until 2047 is being done for 100 Pakistan. Generation Capacity and Energy Mix Oil-based power generation plants which remained the face of the power sector of Pakistan for over three decades, have been planned to be phased out over the next few years and it is expected that the share of furnace oil-based energy will decline to single digit percentage in the overall energy mix in the coming years. On the other hand, Pakistan has large indigenous coal reserves estimated at over 186 billion tons which are sufficient to meet the energy requirements of the country on long-term basis. Apart from indigenous coal resources, there has been significant increase in import of coal as well due to commissioning of new power plants based on imported coal at Sahiwal and Port Qasim. However, domestic production of coal is expected to increase in the coming years with projects on Thar coal. Hydropower plants are considered one of the most capital intensive projects and for a country like Pakistan, it is not possible to undertake such big projects without the financial support of international development agencies — a fact which brings in its own share of peculiarities and challenges. During July - March FY2019, installed capacity of electricity reached 34,282 MW, which was 33,433 MW in corresponding period last year, thus, posting a growth of 2.5 percent. Although electricity generation varies due to availability of inputs and other constraints, the generation increased from 82,011 GWh to 84,680 GWh, posting a growth of 2.1 percent during the period under discussion. Figure-1 gives the comparison of installed capacity (MW) and generation (GWh). 235

Availability of water is also one of the main reason for reduced generation from hydel power plants. Currently, thermal has the largest share in electricity generation. Gas and RLNG are other cheaper sources. RLNG tremendous growth in energy mix has helped supply the demand to various power plants (Bhikki, Haveli Bahadur Shah, Balloki, Halmore, Orient, Rousch, KAPCO, Saif and Sapphire) while, the remaining was supplied to fertilizer plants, industrial and transport sector. As an alternate, the government showed commitment for electricity generation capacity through renewable energy sources. During July - March FY2019, there was an increase of 1 percent in share of renewables in electricity generation, and it is expected that the share will increase in coming years as well. The comparison of share of different sources of electricity generation is given in Figure-2: Fig–2: Share in Electricity Generation 65.0 Percentage Share (%) 70 62.1 60 July-March FY2018 July-March FY2019 50 40 30 24.4 25.8 20 7.7 10 8.2 2.9 3.9 0 Hydroelectric Thermal Nuclear Renewable Source: Ministry of Energy, Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan (HDIP) Electricity Consumption Regarding consumption pattern, there is no significant change in the consumption pattern of electricity. However, during July-March FY 19, the share of household and agriculture in electricity consumption has been decreasing which is indicating that people are trying to rationalize the usage 236
  268. Energy due to increase in its tariff . The increase in the share of industry in electricity consumption is a positive sign showing revival of industry which was suffering earlier due to load shedding. The comparison between consumption patterns of electricity during July - March FY2019 with corresponding period last year is shown below in Fig-3: Fig-3: Share in Electricity Consumption 51 60 July -March FY2018 July -March FY2019 48 50 40 25 30 8 20 27 10 8 9 10 0 Household Commercial Industry Agriculture Source: Ministry of Energy, Hydrocarbon Development Insititute of Pakistan (HDIP) Oil (Petroleum Product) Pakistan mainly depends upon oil and gas resources to fulfill energy requirements. The domestic production of crude oil remained 24.6 million barrels during July - March FY2019 compared to 21.8 million barrels during the corresponding period last year. Indigenous resources of oil are not enough to quench energy thirst of a growing economy. As a result Pakistan has to import large quantity of oil as well as oil based products from Middle Eastern countries especially from Saudi Arabia. During July - March FY2019, the quantity of crude oil imported remained 6.6 million tones with value of US $ 3.4 billion compared to the quantity 7.8 million tones with value US $ 2.9 billion during the same period last year. The decline was mainly due to increase in international prices. The deferred payment on imported oil from Saudi Arabia will give an ease to the government on balance of payments. Transport and power are the two major users of oil. During July - March FY2019, share of oil consumption in transport increased to 77 from 56 percent during the same period last year, while share of oil consumption in power decreased to 14 percent during July - March FY2019 which was 25 percent during the same period last year. Mainly, gas being the cheaper source, there is continuous shift of power sector from oil to gas. The indigenous and imported crude is refined by six major and two small refineries. Efforts to bring improvement in existing refineries as well as attracting foreign investment in this sector include but are not limited to:  Byco Oil Pakistan Limited (Byco) has established an Oil Refinery at Hub, Balochistan with refinery capacity of 120,000 Barrel Per Day (5 million tons/annum) at cost of US$ 400 million. Byco has also installed Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) facilities for transportation of imported Crude Oil and petroleum products from ships to the storages tanks. The capacity of said facility is 12 M. tons per annum.  Attock Refinery Limited (ARL) has started producing Euro-II (0.05 % Sulphur HSD) Further, the refinery has also installed isomerization plant and enhanced the production of Motor Gasoline. 237
  269. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19  Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) has also installed isomerization plant in 2016 and since then has doubled its production of Motor Gasoline.  Pak Arab Refinery Limited (PARCO) is implementing PARCO Coastal Refinery project at Khalifa Point, near Hub, Balochistan, which is a state of the art refinery having capacity of 250,000 barrels per day (over 11 Million tons per annum). Estimated cost of the project is over US$ 5 billion. Natural Gas Natural Gas is a clean, safe, efficient and environment friendly fuel. Its indigenous supplies contribute about 38% in total primary energy supply mix of the country. Pakistan has an extensive gas network of over 12,971 Km Transmission 139,827 KM Distribution and 37,058 Services gas pipelines to cater the requirement of more than 9.6 Million consumers across the country. Government of Pakistan is pursuing its policies for enhancing indigenous gas production as well as imported gas to meet the increasing demand of energy in the country. At present, the capacity of two Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FRSU) to Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) is 1200 MMCFD and accordingly RLNG is being imported to mitigate gas demand-supply shortfall. The average natural gas consumption was about 3,865 Million Cubic Feet per day (MMCFD) including 785 MMCFD volume of RLNG during July 2018 to February 2019. During July 2018 to February 2019, the two Gas utility companies (SNGPL & SSGCL) have laid 69 Km Gas Transmission network, 3,232 Km Distribution and 1,366 Km Services lines and connected 165 villages/towns to gas network. During this period, 428,305 additional gas connections including 425,404 Domestic, 2,770 Commercial and 131 Industrial were provided across the country. It is expected that Gas will be supplied to approximately 430,695 new consumers during the fiscal year 2019-20. Gas utility companies have planned to invest Rs. 7,161 Million on Transmission Projects, Rs. 48,288 Million on Distribution Projects and Rs. 18,556 Million on other projects bringing the total investment around Rs. 74 billion during the fiscal year 2019-20. For viable growth of this sector, Government has approved provision of RLNG to this sector with fiscal incentives of gas infrastructure development cess (GIDC) at the rate of zero and Sales Tax at the rate of five percent.

The gross capacity of these five nuclear power plants is 1,430 MW that supplied about 7,267 million units of electricity to the national grid during 1st July, 2018 to 31st March, 2019. 238
  270. Energy KANUPP , the oldest of the nuclear power plants, has now completed 47 years of safe and successful operation. The four units of Chashma are amongst the best performing electricity generating plants in the country, in terms of endurance and availability. Some performance parameters of these operating plants are presented in the following table: Table 3: PAEC’s Performance Parameters Plant Capacity (MW) Gross KANUPP C-1 C-2 C-3 C-4 Total Source: PAEC 100 325 325 340 340 1,430 Net 90 300 300 315 315 1,320 Electricity sent to Grid (Million KWH) 1st July 2018 to Lifetime upto 31st March, 2019 31st March, 2019 88 14,472 1,501 37,129 1,926 17,888 1,822 5,646 1,930 3,695 7,267 78.830 There are two more units being constructed near the KANUP site Karachi, the Karachi Nuclear Power Plants-2 &3 (K-2 & 3). First concrete of K-2 was poured on the 20th August, 2015 and that of K-3 on the 31st May, 2016. Work on the construction of these nuclear power plants is progressing according to schedule and the K-2/K-3 plants are likely to complete on time. In FY2021, PAEC is planning to intensify its activities to meet the nuclear electricity generation target of 8,800 MW by the year 2030 set through government’s Energy Security Plan formulated in 2005. Completion of K2/K-3 project will be a big step that will bring PAEC 2,200 closer to achieving this target. PAEC is planning to develop additional sites to house more nuclear power plants in future with the sites identified throughout the country being investigated and acquired for development. Technical and engineering infrastructure is in place to support the existing, under construction and future nuclear power plants. This infrastructure is based on indigenous institutes imparting state of art training and education in all relevant disciplines and at all levels, from technical training to academic programs. Coal Massive energy resource in shape of coal exists in the country and further exploration in different areas is continued but only a fraction of it is being utilized. Shifting power generation to country's indigenous coal will help Pakistan gain momentum on the road to sustainable development. All four provinces have coal reserves but the significant deposits are located in Thar, Sindh. Coal mining currently being done in Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa mostly comprises small-scale operations. The country’s first large-scale coal mine (3.8 million tons per annum) alongwith integrated power generation plant (2x330 MW) has been recently made operational at Thar coalfield. The production and import data for the period from July 2018 to June, 2019 has been estimated for the first half of this financial year. Details are tabulated as under: Financial Year Domestic Coal Production Million Million Tons TOE 4.30 1.92 5.50 2.46 2017-18 2018-19 (Estimated) Source: Ministry of Energy, Mineral Wing Coal Import Million Million Tons TOE 13.70 9.00 15.50 10.19 Total Supply Million Million Tons TOE 18 10.92 21.00 12.65 In coming years, local coal use should be promoted to achieve larger contribution. Thar coal utilization is accorded strategic importance. Many coal mining and power generation projects are in 239
  271. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 process of development in Thar coalfield . Imported coal-fired power plants may also be required to consider mixing with Thar Coal. Spontaneous combustion is a potential problem for long distance transportation and long-term storage, and thus restricts Thar coal use as a downside. Clean Energy The Government of Pakistan is emphasizing on utilization of indigenous and environmentally clean energy generation resources. In this regard, the promotion of alternative and renewable technologies is amongst the top priorities of the Government. Several initiatives have been taken to create a conducive environment for the sustainable growth of the clean energy sector in Pakistan in order to harness the potential of indigenous renewable energy resources. The development of large scale grid connected renewable energy based power generation projects are being pursued through private investors. The following progress has been achieved on development of renewable energy based projects during the fiscal year 2018-19 so far:  Five (05) wind power projects of 246.6 MW capacity were completed and started supplying electricity to the national grid.  Two (02) bagasse cogeneration projects of 58 MW capacity were completed. In order to ensure sustainable supplies and energy security, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is focusing on exploiting the abundant potential of wind and solar resources for power generation whilst keeping in view the best possible mode for benefiting with declining prices of renewable energy. Formulation of a new clean/renewable energy policy has been initiated with the aim of establishing a robust framework for creating a conducive environment for the sustainable growth of renewable and distributed energy resources in Pakistan. The GOP’s strategic objectives of Energy Security, Economic Benefits, Environmental Protection, Sustainable Growth and Social Equity with indigenous resources will further harnessed under the Renewable Energy Policy 2019. Apart from on-grid, large scale renewable based power projects, smaller renewable energy applications are also being promoted for lighting purposes, water pumping, heating and power generation etc. As such, distributed energy generation and its synchronization with the grid includes our way forward. Way forward Pakistan has successfully removed bottlenecks on the generation side of electricity during previous government. However, congestion, inefficiency and lack of infrastructure on the transmission and distribution side of the supply chain has hampered sustained delivery of electricity and energy services. Furthermore, such aggressive capacity additions are now a fundamental part of our energy pricing mechanisms of near and medium term future. Contextualizing the aggressive capacity additions of previous governments will help us guide our way forward in addressing the capacity payment issues of near to medium term future. Integrated Energy Plan, which details the demand projections from power as well as petroleum divisions, will help in foreseeing the evolving energy mix as well as keeping the focus on indigenous resources. Such detailed planning will help us avoid issues of circular debt and capacity payments for future with evidence based policy interventions. Foreseeing our energy mix and dependence of our energy security on indigenous resources will need to be synchronized with our international obligations under Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is the focus of the GoP to provide sustainable energy for all. Furthermore, improvement of access to energy and off grid solutions will be provided to masses under the new renewable energy policy. 240
  272. Energy For the sustainable provision of such services , market forces as well as policy levers need to be harmonized accordingly. As far as market forces are concerned, business models of energy services companies (ESCO) and sustainable energy utility (SEU) should be developed and incentivized. Such market forces should be encouraged since it will provide jobs to the masses. On the policy levers front, up-gradation and modernization of the grid is necessary. A transitioning grid is a reality among developing and developed economies, where distributed energy resources and advanced technology need to be incorporated and harmonized with the existing grid. Additionally, policy handles need to be designed and processed while transitioning from a single buyer model to competitive markets. Further segregation of distribution companies on the basis of rural and urban divide as well as for the ease of administration will help ease the burden on distribution chain of the electricity sector. Similarly, on regulatory fronts, further closer cooperation between regulatory authorities of petroleum and power is integral towards our path to advanced energy economics and further democratization of energy sector. 241

  274. CHAPTER 15 Social Protection Social protection schemes by the government help in mitigating vulnerability , reducing poverty, and providing affordable healthcare and insurance to low-income families. Constitution of Pakistan’s Article 38 (d) obligates the state “to provide basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, housing, education and medical relief to the needy irrespective of sex, caste, creed or race”. The present government’s vision for social protection is to develop an integrated and comprehensive social protection platform focused on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable. Social Safety Nets (SSNs) are the core components of social protection which have emerged as an important policy option for reducing poverty. According to the World Bank Report on “The State of Social Safety Nets 2018”, more than 77 percent countries have opted Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) programs while 42 percent have implemented Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs. To achieve “No Poverty” by 2030 is a part of a comprehensive SDG Agenda-1 that calls to end (extreme) poverty in all its manifestations by ensuring social protection for the poor and vulnerable, increase access to basic services, and support people from economic, social, and environmental shocks. According to national definitions, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children from poverty in all dimensions by 2030. Over the last decades, Pakistan’s poverty headcount has witnessed a persistent decline both at national and regional levels as well as in urban and rural areas. In Pakistan, Cost of Basic Needs (CBN) approach is being used as the official measure of poverty. According to this approach, percentage of people living below poverty line has declined from 50.4 percent in 2005-06 to 24.3 percent in 2015-16 on the basis of well targeted poverty reduction programs. The present government has taken protecting the poor and marginalised society from economic, social and environment shocks as the priority agenda by expanding the coverage of social safety net programs beyond their traditional areas, streamlining the conditional cash transfers and establishing appropriate graduation programs. Various steps taken in this sector include:  Creation of a Poverty Alleviation Coordination Council to synergize the efforts of various organizations working for poverty alleviation in public and private sector, eliminate duplication and overlap, developing a framework to improve effectiveness and implementing plans for capacity building and performance enhancement of such organizations  Establishment of Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division  Opening the doors of socio-economic uplift through CPEC – signing MoU with China to learn from their experience in poverty reduction  Re-prioritizing PSDP allocations to focus more on pro-poor projects and the projects for less developed areas  Scaling up activities of BISP and Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), re-organizing Pakistan Bait ul Mal, to focus on poverty alleviation and asset transfer to the rural poor to graduate them out of poverty
  275. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19  Approval of provision of $82.6 million funds (IFAD funded)as grant to PPAF for disbursement to 320,000 beneficiaries of BISP to help them graduate out of poverty  Micro-credits for low cost housing to provide shelter to the homeless and providing free of cost shelters for the poorest homeless  Employment creation through housing construction and increased access to microfinance under Prime Minister’s Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme  Expanding coverage of Prime Minister’s Health Insurance scheme through Sehat Insaf Card scheme to provide free medical treatment to approximately 80 million people. 12th Five year Plan 2018-2023- Road Map The (draft) 12th Five Year Development Plan (2018-23) also envisages a new direction towards a conducive macroeconomic environment with efficient financial markets, pro-poor taxation system, better governance and effective accountability that will provide resources and enabling conditions for poverty reduction strategy to bear fruits in the long run. The other three pillars of the Poverty Reduction Strategy are i) human resource development, ii) employment generation, and iii) integrated social protection system with appropriate safety nets for the poorest. The government has laid down the following important Targets/Milestones for the plan period:  Approval of the national framework for developing social protection policies to guide provinces in policy formulation  Reducing Cost of Basic Needs (CBN) based poverty from 24.3 percent in FY 2016 to 19.0 percent by 2023 while reducing multidimensional poverty headcount from 38.8 percent in FY 2015 to 30.0 percent during the plan period  Alignment of provincial social protection policies according to the provision in the national framework for developing social protection policies  Creation of database for vulnerable groups to ensure better targeting of poor  Enhancing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to reduce poverty in consultation with corporate and private sector. A CSR framework would be compiled in collaboration with all stakeholders to expand outreach of CSR programs for poverty reduction The United Nations Development Program (UNDP)’s Human Development Report, 2018 ranks Pakistan at 150th out of 189 countries under the Human Development Index (HDI) based on Health (life expectancy at birth),Education ( Expected years of schooling) and Gross National Income (GNI) per capita. Pakistan’s HDI value is 0.562 out of 1 as against South Asia’s average HDI value of 0.638 and World’s average HDI value of 0.728. Overall, Pakistan has shown some progress in Human Development like other countries. However, this progress is very low when compared to other countries in South Asia.

  276. Social Protection Box-I : Launching of Ehsaas Program Prime Minister has launched a comprehensive Poverty Alleviation Program “Ehsaas” on 27th March, 2019 with its 4 focus areas and 155 policy actions to reduce inequality, invest in people and uplift lagging districts. Under this program, the government would allocate an additional amount of Rs.80 billion in the country’s social protection spending in the forthcoming budget 2019-20 that would be raised to Rs.120 billion in 2021. The program is for the extreme poor, orphans, widows, homeless, disabled, jobless, poor farmers, labourers, sick and undernourished; students from low-income backgrounds and for poor women and elderly citizens. This plan is also about lifting lagging areas where poverty is higher. Four pillars include: addressing elite capture and making the government system work to create equality; safety nets for disadvantaged segments of the population; jobs and livelihoods; and human capital development. The Prime Minister has also announced the establishment of a new Ministry of Social Protection/Poverty Alleviation to address the current fragmentation. Benazir Income Support Program, Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal, Zakat, Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund, Trust for Voluntary Organizations, the SUN Network, Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Secretariats of the Poverty Alleviation Coordination Council and the Labor Expert Group would work under this ministry by developing a one-window operation for social protection of the poor and to facilitate citizens. A new constitutional amendment to move Article 38 (d) from the “Principles of Policy” section into the “Fundamental Rights” section will be made for provision of food, clothing, housing, education and medical relief for the citizens, who could not earn livelihood due to infirmity, sickness or unemployment, a state responsibility and it would be a first step towards the creation of a welfare state.

  277. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Social Safety Programs Recognizing the need to protect the poor and the vulnerable , the government is carrying out several social safety net programs. The following social safety nets are the major initiatives to reinforce the government’s efforts to reduce the adverse effects of poverty on the poor: I. Benazir Income Support Program (BISP): BISP is a federal unconditional cash transfer Social Safety Net initiative of Government of Pakistan. Its long term objectives include meeting the targets set by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to eradicate extreme & chronic poverty and empowerment of women through establishment of comprehensive social protection. BISP has a nationwide presence with headquarter in federal capital and 6 regional offices at provincial capitals, AJ&K and Gilgit-Baltistan. There are 6 regional, 34 divisional and 385 tehsil offices all across the country. BISP’s targeting performance falls in top five social safety net programs in the world. The quarterly cash grant has gradually been enhanced by the successive governments which currently stand at Rs. 5000/- per quarter per eligible beneficiary. The number of beneficiaries now stands at 5.8 million. Since inception, BISP has disbursed Rs 691.5 billion as cash transfers. BISP is following the path of automation and 98.5 percent of beneficiaries are being paid through technology based payment mechanisms. BISP financial achievements up to 15th April, 2019 are shown in the Table 15.2 below: Table-15.2: BISP Financial Achievements Financial Released Funds Transfer to Cash Grants Year Conditional Cash Un-conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Transfer (UCT) 2008-09 15.32 0.04 15.81 2009-10 39.94 2.89 31.94 2010-11 34.42 5.30 29.66 2011-12 49.53 4.28 41.60 2012-13 50.10 3.17 43.30 2013-14 69.62 1.20 65.11 2014-15 91.78 0.45 88.59 2015-16 102.00 1.88 96.65 2016-17 111.50 2.27 102.10 2017-18 107.00 3.20 99.00 2018-19* 91.52 1.02 52.00 Total 762.73 25.7 665.76 *Till 15th April, 2019 Source: Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) Fig-2: Yearly Number of Beneficiaries 35.0 15.9 20 0 Financial Years * Allocation for 2018-19 246 Financial Years 2018-19 2018-19 2017-18 2016-17 2015-16 2014-15 2013-14 2012-13 2011-12 2010-11 2009-10 * Till 15th April, 2019 34.8 40 2017-18 1.8 0 45.9 46.5 60 2016-17 2.6 2015-16 3.1 2 102.2 66.3 80 2014-15 3.8 2013-14 5.2 2012-13 3.7 5.0 98.5 104.4 89.0 100 2011-12 4.6 3 5.6 5.8 * 2010-11 4 5.5 2009-10 5 124.7 * 120 2008-09 6 Cash Disbursement in Rs. billion 140 2008-09 Beneficiary Families in Million 1.76 2.58 3.10 3.68 3.75 4.64 5.05 5.21 5.46 5.63 5.78 - Fig-3: Yearly Cash Grants 7 1 Total (UCT+CCT) 15.85 34.83 34.96 45.88 46.47 66.31 89.04 98.53 104.37 102.2 53.02 691.46 Rs billion Number of Beneficiaries
  278. Social Protection Conditional Cash Transfer (Waseela-e-Taleem): The program was started in October, 2012 to create access for beneficiaries to social and productive services being provided by organizations in both private and public sectors. The program encourages beneficiary families with children in age group of 4-12 years to send their out of school children to schools for primary education (and in school children to continue their education) in return for cash transfer with long-term prospects of human capital formation. The CCT involves a cash transfer of Rs. 250 per month paid quarterly (Rs.750 per child) for children of each beneficiary family in age bracket of 4-12 years in return for their compliance with co-responsibilities of school admissions and a minimum of 70 percent quarterly attendance. As of April 2019, 3.1 million children have been enrolled and Rs. 9.8 billion has been disbursed for the said program. BISP Graduation Program: BISP developed a model namely BISP Graduation Model (BGM) to provide a low-cost, high impact and sustainable solution for their possible exit from the poverty trap, sensitive to the local context. The Graduation Program will enable beneficiaries to earn income, through self-employment, wage employment and Public Works Programs. BISP Graduation Model (BGM) is based on the premise that it would enable cash grants recipients to eventually transform into income earning individuals through self-employment and/or wage employment with skills development and hand holding. BGM combines elements of three distinct approaches, social protection, livelihoods development and financial inclusion to move households out of extreme poverty and into sustainable livelihoods. Business Incubation for Self Employment (BISE) Model: The key features of the BISE component of Graduation are as follows:  Profiling targeted households on their potential for self-employment, Agreement by the BISP beneficiary that UCT will continue for only 1-2 years to provide protection against risks, giving specific technical skill trainings and business development support to selected program beneficiaries, Transfer of assets to start economic activities, providing income generating grants (working capital) to help the poor set up their business and if the beneficiary fails to graduate, he/she will be re-entered in BISP UCT system after the expiry of the graduation agreement/contract, for implementing BISE component, 5 districts (Bahawalpur, Charsadda, Jacobabad, Nasirabad and Ketch) have been selected. Direct Cash Model: Direct Cash (DC) with business coaching for start-up businesses is based on premise that poor people can make economical rational investment decisions if they are provided some help for business development. Beneficiaries interested in this program will be asked to trade monthly Un-conditional Cash Transfer (UCT) payments they are entitled to in exchange for receiving a one-time lump-sum payment. The activities for implementing this PILOT program by visiting approximately 30,000 beneficiaries in Faisalabad and Chakwal pilot districts. Key features include beneficiary selection will be selected by balloting.  From amongst the participating beneficiaries, approximately half will receive a graduation offer; this will mainly depend on the readiness of the business  One Third of the participants (1000) will be asked for business plan and will be monitored. One third will only be provided cash with no requirements, for the research exercise  The costs for DC program will be financed from the remaining funds of the ADB project in support of BISP, which are about US$ 5.0 million  After the completion of the designated suspension time (3-4 years), and in case the business is not successful due to external risks (e.g. natural disasters or major unforeseen urgent family expenses for health), or other relevant changing conditions outside the business, the beneficiaries will be eligible for re-entry into BISP by undergoing a new survey similar to the National SocioEconomic Registry (NSER) that can be completed at the Tehsil Office. If they are found to be 247
  279. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 under Proxy Means Test (PMT) cut-off as assessed by the survey, which may be subjected to an independent check to be determined later, they will be eligible to re-enroll into BISP  For implementing the DC component, Faisalabad and Chakwal from Punjab and Laki Marwat from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been selected  Impact Assessment of the DC model will be done by a team from Harvard, LSE and MIT which has agreed to do it on a separately financed basis (not paid by BISP)  The evaluations results of the pilots will be used to scale up the programs gradually and implement additional graduation programs as proposed under the Business Graduation Framework (BGF). Scaling up and broadening will however, depend on possible funding options. BISP intends to develop into a comprehensive federal agency for livelihood promotion and social protection for the poor, the preparation for scaling-up can start as soon as possible. BISP’s Engagement with Development Partners i). The World Bank: The International Development Association (IDA) provided a credit of $ 60 million to BISP for “Pakistan Social Safety Net TA Project” which was successfully concluded on 30th June 2017. The TA project supported the design of poverty scorecard and first ever comprehensive survey of the poor households. BISP received additional financing of $ 150 million for Pakistan Social Safety Net (PSSN) Project to launch a Co-responsibility Cash Transfer (CCT) program for primary education of children of BISP beneficiaries. The project is aimed to increase coverage of beneficiary families through delivery of cash grants and also co-responsibility Cash Transfers (CCT) attached with Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) for primary education. BISP has successfully achieved in all 19 Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) under World Band PSSN project. A new project titled “Pakistan National Social Protection Program (NSPP)” was launched on 28th April 2017 with a total amount of US$ 100 million and it will end on June 30, 2021. The main objective of this project is to strengthen BISP service delivery for helping the poor to enhance their human capital and access to complementary services. The funds under this project are released after fulfillment of benchmarks/targets under a Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) regime. BISP has received an amount of $ 63 million till 30th June, 2018. ii). Department for International Development (DFID): DFID is supporting BISP to expand its cash transfers to eligible beneficiaries. Under Pakistan National Cash Transfer Program (PNCTP), DFID is providing up to GBP 300.3 million over a period of eight years from 2012 to 2020. Up to £279 million was results-based “non-budget support financial aid” to support expansion and systems strengthening of UCT and CCT programs. Overall performance rating of program was marked as “A”. Most of the milestones have either been met or exceeded expectations. Up to £21.3 million comprised of Technical Assistance (TA) intended to strengthen BISP systems and support dialogue on poverty reduction and policy reforms to enhance social protection for poor and vulnerable. DFID grant was made through a total of 18 DLIs, all of which have met the timelines agreed with the donor. The timely achievement of DLIs reflects the synergy between BISP and its development partners. DFID agreed with BISP on a new framework of 11 DLIs amounting to GBP £98.4 million to be achieved by March 2021. These DLIs pertains to usage of new NSER data for UCT disbursements, building and availability of dashboard for stakeholders to access NSER data, implementation of Biometric Verification System (BVS), capacity building of Tehsil offices, expansion of conditional Cash Transfer for primary education and increasing the number of BISP Beneficiaries Committee (BBCs) in Union Councils. iii). Asian Development Bank (ADB): BISP and ADB signed a new soft loan project of $430 million titled “Social Protection Development Project” in November 2013 till end June 2020. The 248

Key Project deliverables include Cash transfer program expanded coverage for new beneficiaries, Health insurance program refined and rolled out Graduation, Skills development strengthened Program, Financial management and control system and policy research. Key Achievements of BISP  BISP received consistent political patronage form the successive governments due to its neutral/apolitical data. Starting from an allocation of Rs. 72 billion, BISP today is at Rs.124 billion budget cross-cutting Program  Successive governments remained receptive to the role BISP played in denting intergenerational poverty in Pakistan. The quarterly cash grant was gradually enhanced by successive governments which today stand at Rs. 5000/- per quarter  BISP is following the path of automation and 98.5 percent of beneficiaries are being paid through the Biometric Verification System (BVS)  BISP Endowment Fund (BEF) has been approved by BISP Board in its 29th meeting held on 29th January 2018. The core objective of BEF will be to cover BISP’s operational cost in periods of budgetary constraints besides financing of additional pro-poor schemes/initiatives as approved by Fund’s Board and financing on of any other activity decided by BISP Board  A Center of Excellence is being established at BISP to commemorate 10 year of the existence of BISP. The Center will be the Think Tank for carrying out research to learn global best practices serving as knowledge sharing platform; conduct research, scholarship programs and internships etc. preliminary work in collaboration with PIDE/HEC  BISP has signed a Memorandum of understanding (MOU) titled “1000 days of Partnership against Malnutrition” with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). Future Plans of BISP a). Expanding Un-conditional Cash Transfer: BISP is extending financial assistance of Rs. 5000/(US$45) quarterly to 5.8 million families. BISP is covering around 16 percent of population and could not extend support to remaining poor due to limited fiscal resources. Keeping in view, the present government’s manifesto of expanding coverage of income support to 8 million families, fiscal space will have to be created. Unification of fragmented safety nets at the federal level and elimination of all non-targeted subsidies will result in substantial savings to the federal kitty where overlapping will be rectified. Digital mapping of the recipients under different programs will also end duplications – a beneficiary receiving cash and other CCT benefits from three programs at the same time needs to be weaned off the UCT. b). Expanding Conditional Cash Transfer (Waseela-e-Taleem): BISP is currently implementing Conditional Cash Transfer Program linking with education in 50 districts. Top up of Rs. 750/- per quarter is distributed to beneficiary children enrolled in primary education on 70 percent attendance compliance. Expansion could not take place in all the districts due to financial constraints. BISP has so far disbursed Rs. 8.2 billion in CCT intervention amongst 2.7 million children of beneficiary families. BISP is optimistic to expand the CCT on education intervention in all districts of the country to cover all out of school children of BISP beneficiary families which is planning in next 3-5 years. There are 9 million children of BISP beneficiary families falling in primary school age as per BISP data. In order to enroll all 9 million children, BISP requires Rs. 34 billion annually. The stipend of Rs. 750/- per quarter is not substantial incentive to retain children in school as poorest of the poor usually engage their children in child labour. II.

III. Microfinance Initiatives: The Pakistan Microfinance Network (PMN) is the national association for retail players in the microfinance industry with a membership of 46 Microfinance Providers including Microfinance Banks (regulated by SBP) and Non-Bank Microfinance companies (regulated by SECP). PMN works in three principal areas: i) Serve as an Information Hub for the industry: Over the years, PMN has established itself as a knowledge centre for the sector and has emerged as the first stop for information, data and analysis on microfinance and now increasingly on inclusive finance in Pakistan. Activities within this area include:  Research and Publications 251
  283. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19  Holding events and round-table discussions  Data mining and business analytics  Promoting benchmarks and international best practices on financial and social performance; ii). Promote an Enabling Environment: As an industry body, PMN strives to work with different stakeholders to create and promote a healthy and vibrant environment for microfinance in Pakistan, through: accelerating the industry's development through focused leadership and collective action  Interaction with policy maker and regulators such as Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)  Creating linkages with both bilateral and multi-lateral donors  Representing the sector at domestic and international forums  Building strategic partnerships with local and international stakeholders  Liaison with private and public-sector outfits to leverage expertise for various industry support infrastructure such as the Credit Bureau, Digitization of Microfinance, Consumer Protection Code & Grievance Redressal System  Building sector image and tackling negative perceptions through a professionally managed Communications and Public Relations strategy  Focusing on reducing barriers to investment to improve capital allocation by convening impact investors to facilitate knowledge exchange and highlighting innovative investment approaches. iii). Capacity Building: PMN continues to play an active and significant role in creating training, exposure and human resource development opportunities for the sector through:  International and local trainings, and exposure visits  Building linkages with academic institutions. The microfinance industry broadly provides services in three categories of micro-credit, microsavings and micro-insurance. As shown in Table 15.5, the sector continued to exhibit upward trend. The micro-credit outreach witnessed 20 percent growth during 2018, while Gross Loan Portfolio registered a 36 percent growth during the same year. Micro-savings, on the other hand, posted a growth under active savers by 14 percent and value of savings by 28 percent, which is attributable to increase in m-wallet accounts and taping higher ticket size. Moreover, micro-insurance also remained positive wherein policy holders increased by 16 percent, whereas sum insured posted a hefty growth of 25 percent. This segment is primarily dominated by credit life and health insurance.

Under SBPs encouraging policies and vigorous initiatives being undertaken by players in the market, the numbers indicate that the masses are becoming more aware of opening accounts via biometric verification 252
  284. Social Protection systems placed at various agents and mobile locations . With NADRA is actively pursuing cost reduction techniques, Banks have also been persuaded to perform customer verifications when opening new customer accounts. The trend in the growth of branchless banking has been witnessing a fortifying growth in BB accounts. The number of Social Welfare Disbursements (BISP, EOBI Pensioners, IDP Payments, WFP etc.) during the year under review accounted for over 25 million transactions with an accumulated value of Rs. 132.8 billion. Digital Credit With the launch of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) and the Pakistan Financial Inclusion and Infrastructure Project, the aim of the regulators is to promote financial inclusion by increasing access to digital payments among businesses and households, as well as advancing access to credit for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. It can also be witnessed that most of these digital offerings involve strategic partnerships between Mobile Network Operators and Microfinance Banks/financial institutions along-with new alliances that include third-party FinTechs which are also beginning to emerge. Examples include: Tez Financial Services – a mobile application that provides instant access to financial services by linking a client’s mobile wallet with the app, and Credit-Fix also a mobile app that draws on alternative credit data to assess creditworthiness of unbanked consumers. These strategic partnerships between FinTechs and financial institutions are mutually beneficial as they thrive to scale up business and reach a wider customer base by offering scaled and innovative solutions that are analytics driven. Not only does this improve the efficiency of the product, but also leads to enhanced mitigation of risks. The objective of the microfinance initiative is to provide liquidity to the microfinance providers in response to tighter liquidity conditions. It is provided as a package through microfinance banks (MFBs), microfinance institutions (MFIs), Rural Support Programs (RSPs), and others including Commercial Financial Institutions (CFIs) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs).

Social Protection Conclusion The comprehensive social protection framework is aimed at overcoming the challenges of poverty , health, stunted growth, education and would enable the youth to realize their potential and extricate themselves out of the generational poverty traps. SDGs have been widely regarded as the best vehicle to address poverty alleviation in Pakistan.

The government is planning to establish enough social protection for all marginalized and vulnerable segments of the society. In this regard, effective monitoring mechanism for SDGs that will ensure the higher returns of investment along with greater contribution to SDGs targets. Punjab government has decided to establish shelter-homes in all districts of the province for the homeless people. In this regard, shelter-homes will be constructed in all districts in phases so that the homeless people may not have to sleep under the open sky in harsh conditions. The state is fulfilling its responsibility in providing shelter and food to the needy people that were earlier forced to sleep on roads. The government is taking all necessary steps to support this poor destitute class and the establishment of a welfare project like the Panah Gah is an important step in this regard. 257

  290. CHAPTER 16 Climate Change Erratic weather patterns and climate change have emerged as the biggest environmental challenges that are affecting almost all the sectors of economy particularly water resources , energy, health, biodiversity with a major impact on agricultural productivity. In view of Pakistan’s high vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change, the current government is committed to meet this challenge and the Prime Minister has constituted “Prime Minister’s Committee on Climate Change” to provide high level strategic guidance and platform for coordinated efforts on the issues of climate change. Federal Forestry Board (FFB) has also been revived to rehabilitate forests and forest cover in the country. Ministry of Climate Change has adopted a comprehensive approach on the disaster risk reduction and management. The government has also introduced climate budget coding and expenditure tracking system. This initiative has become a solid conduit for the climate change finance mainstreaming and will foster transparency in public investments. The monitoring of the expenditure will also give confidence to the international development partners in tracking expenditure under different funding streams to ensure that the finances are spent on the intended objectives. Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) has taken various initiatives in the area of climate change adaptation and mitigation in accordance with our National Climate Change Policy which are as under: a) To ensure effective implementation of National Climate Change Policy and its Framework, meetings of National Climate Change Policy Implementation Committee are being held regularly. b) MoCC has completed the process of ratification of Doha Amendment to Kyoto Protocol. c) Pakistan Climate Change Council and Pakistan Climate Change Authority are being established to address the issues of climate change and meet Pakistan’s obligations under international conventions relating to climate change. d) Climate Change Council is being established and the mandate is to: i. Monitor implementation of international agreements ii. Approve and monitor implementation of comprehensive adaptation and mitigation policies, strategies, plans, programs & projects iii. Monitor implementation of National Adaptation Plan iv. Protection and conservation of renewable and non-renewable resources, species & habitats e) Preparation of Pakistan’s Second National Communication (SNC) on Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions is at final stage. f) Biennial Update Report (BUR) is an extended report on National Communications which describes the status of GHG emissions and mitigation measures taken by the countries. MoCC has started preparatory work on Pakistan’s first BUR. All these are indicators of a shifting landscape in Pakistan under the present government towards a cleaner, greener and sustainable future aiming for lowering the emissions and ensuring climate
  291. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 resilient growth . Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Program Pakistan is a signatory to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 6 i.e. clean water and sanitation aims to provide safe drinking water to 95 percent of the population and access to safe sanitation to 72 percent of the population by the year 2030. Currently the national base line for safe drinking water is 36 percent and for sanitation is zero percent. The indicators in national data sets for WASH: Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement (PSLM) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) were reviewed and aligned with Sustainable Development Indicators 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3.1. Safely Managed Water The access to improved drinking water sources (piped, hand pump, motorized pump and closed well) is 89 percentage, available when needed (24 hours available at premises) is 77.5 percent, basic service is 53 percent (basic services but not free from contamination) contamination is 36 percent. The lowest figure of all three that is free from contamination is 36 percent, which is the baseline figure of safely managed water in Pakistan in 20181. Safely Managed Sanitation Improved sanitation is 63 percent (it is 58 percent as per JMP), hand washing with soap is 60 percent and data regarding on-site and off-site treatment is not available or is less than 1 percent. The lowest of all figure of the three is On-Site and Off-Site treatment so baseline safely managed sanitation is zero. Inclusion and Disparities There is significant difference between access to piped water in urban areas with coverage of 48 percent and of rural areas with 13 percent only. Furthermore, only 10 percent of the poorest have access to piped water supply compared to 39 percent of the rich and 35 percent of the richest groups. Under sanitation, less than half of the rural population in Pakistan use improved sanitation. Only 20 percent of the poorest have access to improved sanitation compared to 82 percent of the richest. Similarly, 40 percent of the poorest have no toilets compared to only 1 percent of the richest.2 Sector Policies/Strategies The Prime Minister of Pakistan has reinforced the commitment of government for creating an enabling environment for water and sanitation through launching of Clean Green Pakistan Movement (CGPM) in October 2018, showing the highest level of political commitment. The CGPM will seek institutional strengthening for effective service delivery and behavioural change for sustenance and continuity for the accessibility and availability of safe water and sanitation to the people of Pakistan. Institutional Arrangements The provincial and administrative units take a lead on the identification, planning and implementation of drinking water and sanitation policy along with budgetary allocations and spending in their jurisdictions. At federal level, Ministry of Climate Change has been entrusted the role of policy formulation, standards setting, reporting and coordination for regional and international commitments. In order to strengthen the institutional arrangements at the national level, the MoCC has created a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Strategic Unit in 2018 based on a 1 2 Pakistan Country Preview Paper 2017 PSLM 2015 260
  292. Climate Change capacity assessment done in 2016 . Capacity Development The WASH Strategic Unit at the Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) rolled out Joint Sector Reviews (JSRs) of WASH in 2016/2017 by arranging a training workshop of key provincial departments and sector partners. All four provinces organized JSRs in 2017-18, which culminated in a National JSR in December 2018 by the MoCC. The overall SDG 6.1 and 6.2 targets for WASH have been finalized along with a roadmap for next two years. Planning, Monitoring and Review There is no single regulatory and monitoring authority for carrying out M&E and reporting on WASH. Each province carries out WASH activities in its jurisdiction and also compiles data. Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) is the national custodian of tracking and reporting the progress on SDGs. The MoCC and PBS brought different stakeholders together in 2017 and 2018 for developing consensus on the indicators and methods of data collection for tracking and planning. Sector Financing The overall estimated financial layout of the sector for 2017-2018 was Rs 128,000 million. This includes: i. ii. iii. iv. Government /public sector expenditure on water and sanitation: Rs 80,000 million ODA and Voluntary transfers for WASH: Rs 4,200 million Repayable Financing :Rs 8,200 Tariffs for services provided: Rs 25,100 million and Households’ out of pocket expenditures: Rs 9,900 million. Currently, the contribution of private sector is not reflected in financial layout available for 2017-18. Sustainable Development Targets for Pakistan By using the SDG costing tools developed by SWA, Pakistan calculated annual investment needs for WASH Sector. Below calculations are based on current coverage of safely managed water i.e. 36 percent and safely managed for sanitation i.e. zero. Based on SDG costing tool, it is estimated that Pakistan needs Rs450 billion annually to meet SDG targets by 2030. Presently, Pakistan is spending PKRs 80 billion annually through public sector while overall financial layout of the sector is PKRs 130 billion. However, it is under-reported as many of the departments, providing water and sanitation services as integral component of their interventions do not report their spendings like school education, health, housing, works and communication, irrigation, etc. Annual Financial Needs for Safely Managed WASH Services -PKRs Million # Description Urban Rural Water Sanitation Water Sanitation 1 New Services: Basic Access 13,968 12,797 8,595 28,543 2 New Services: Safely Managed 62,630 48,904 113,736 123,099 3 Sustaining existing services: Basic Access 16,635 11,100 11,110 20,735 4 Sustaining existing services: Safely Managed 36,229 11,100 33,461 20,735 6 Overall Financing Needs 98,849 60,004 147,197 143,834 Total Total 63,883 348,369 59,580 101,525 449,894 The current allocation for 2018-19 is Rs. 150 billion and Pakistan shall be able to make a growth of 2.1 percent annually. The country shall be able to cover 95 percent of safe water and 72 percent of safe sanitation (62 percent by investment and 10 percent with private sector). 261
  293. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 Forests According to the Pakistan Forestry Outlook Study total area of forests in the country is 4 .34 million ha (5.01 percent), out of which 3.44 million ha forests exist on state-owned lands and remaining on communal and private lands. Annual consumption of wood (timber and fuel wood) is estimated at 44 million cubic meters whereas annual growth of natural forests is 14.4 mm3, resulting in overexploitation of forest resources. Moreover, sole dependence of forest-owning local communities on this resource for livelihood is reported as main cause of deforestation. The contribution of forest in GDP is 0.4 percent. Under Millennium Development Goals (Goal-7), Pakistan had committed to increase forest cover to 6 percent, which could not be achieved mainly due to financial constraints of federal and provincial governments. Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) from either bilateral or multilateral sources has also declined drastically impeding government policies and plans to bring additional lands under tree cover. Ministry of Climate Change is implementing following initiatives towards achievement of objectives of above Conventions and Protocols with the technical and financial support of Global Environment Facility( GEF), UN agencies, World Bank, multilateral donors and NGOs including International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) and WWF and PSDP.  Mangrove for the Future (MFF) regional program in collaboration with IUCN-Pakistan  Implementation of World Bank funded REDD+ Readiness Preparation Proposal (R-PP)  Preparation and implementation of National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan  Revival of forestry and wildlife resources in Pakistan (Green Pakistan Program)  Up-scaling of GPP into Ten Billion Tree Tsunami (new initiative)  Scaling-up of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risk reduction in Northern Pakistan  Reversing Deforestation and degradation in high conservation value pine forests in Pakistan  Sustainable Land Management Program to combat desertification in Pakistan (SLMP II)  Implementation of Federal Forest Policy 2015 Measures to Increase Forest Cover Seasonal Tree Planting Campaigns Season Target (Plants in Millions) Achieve Survival ment Rate 84.32 76% 55.195 78% In order to enhance tree cover in the country, seasonal tree planting campaigns held each 102.4 year and government, private departments, Spring 2018 organizations actively involved in planting Monsoon 2018 47.44 activities.

Under this initiative more than 30 projects have been completed since the inception. Participation in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) Reduced Emission from deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is a concept adopted by the countries under United Nations Framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) in 2010. The 262
  294. Climate Change concept relates to absorption of atmospheric carbon through forest resource . Due to accumulation of carbon in standing trees their financial value increases. Carbon stoked in forest is traded in carbon markets. The REDD+ Readiness Preparation Proposal (R-PP) R-PP is being implemented in Pakistan with a grant of$ 3 .8 million since July, 2015. Pakistan was awarded the grant through a competitive process by Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) of World Bank. International and national consultants were hired to prepare documents required to complete the REDD+ readiness phase. Final documents have been prepared by the consultants and the project has been shared with the Forest Departments of provinces and territories for acceptance/concurrence in February, 2019. Meanwhile in 2018, an additional grant of $ 4.01 million has also been awarded by FCPF to further support the preparedness activities in Pakistan till June, 2020. Migratory Birds and Houbara Bustard Endowment Fund This Fund was established in 2016 and it will provide support for developing and implementing programs for conservation of valuable migratory birds with an initial endowment of Rs. 250 million. Green Pakistan Program – Revival of Forest Resources in Pakistan The main objective of the program is to facilitate transition towards environmentally resilient Pakistan by mainstreaming notions of adaptation and mitigation through ecologically targeted initiatives covering afforestation, biodiversity conservation and enabling policy environment. The program towards reviving forestry resources in the country is being implemented through PC-I scheme titled, Green Pakistan Program-Revival of Forestry Resources in Pakistan (2016-2021). The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 3.652 million for a period of five years. Ten Billion Trees Tsunami Program (TBTTP) is a full-fledged organized and an elaborated approach aiming at revival of forestry and wildlife resources in light of international conventions and national and provincial legislative frameworks has been initiated. The implementation modalities for TBTTP have been developed under the Chairmanship of Federal Advisor on Climate Change. Upon the consultation with provinces and federating units, it was decided to upscale the existing implementation framework of Green Pakistan Program in light of lessons learnt from KP-Billion Tree Tsunami Program under the PSDP funding mechanism. The Prime Minister of Pakistan inaugurated the Ten Billion Trees Tsunami Program on 2nd September, 2018 during “Plant for Pakistan Day” event. Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Program, Phase-I 1. Time required for completion of Program 8-Years (2016-2024) 2. Capital cost of Program i. Forestry Component Rs. 98.051 billion ii. Wildlife Component Rs. 12.0316 billion Total: Rs 110.0826 billion 3. The Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Program, Phase-I will be implemented with an overall cost of Rs. 110.0826 billion. The Federal Government would make an allocation of Rs. 69.067 Billion on cost sharing basis for five years (2019-2024) to revive the forestry and an allocation of Rs.7.30 billion for wildlife resources of Pakistan. 263

National consultation on Sixth National Report has been completed and the report will be submitted to Secretariat of Convention on Biological Diversity after approval. National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) has been approved and submitted to the Secretariat of Convention on Biological Diversity. National actions towards implementation of NBSAP are well under way: 1) Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Law is in process of consultation for wider acceptance 2) Astola Island was declared as first marine protected area of the Pakistan. Consultation on other potential sites like Churna Island and MianiHorr is in process Pakistan’s compliance with Montreal Protocol Pakistan is party to the Vienna Convention for the protection of the Ozone Layer and its Montreal Protocol. A dedicated National Ozone Unit is established in the Ministry of Climate Change for effective compliance of the Convention and its Protocol. Pakistan is successfully implementing the obligations of the Montreal Protocol and has phased out 10 percent Hydrochlorofluoro carbons (HCFCs) in January 2015 as per the given time line through multi-pronged actions including ozone depleting substances (ODS) trade restrictions, awareness and capacity building campaigns, and 265
  297. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 technology transfer . The implementation is a continuous process and at present Pakistan is successfully moving towards 35 percent reduction targets of the HCFCs till 1st January, 2020. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) management in Pakistan Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are highly toxic chemical considered as global threat to Human Health and environment. Stockholm Convention on POPs was ratified by Pakistan in 2008. The elimination of POPs pesticide stockpiles became more urgent after the 2010 floods damaged some of the storage sites of hazardous chemicals and pesticides resulting in a greater risk to human and environmental health. Pakistan is now on its way for comprehensive reduction and elimination of persistent organic pollutants aiming to reduce human health and environmental risks. The country is in process of development and implementation of a regulatory, policy and enforcement system to reduce POPs releases and to regulate POPs waste disposal; capacity building to reduce exposure and releases of POPs; and collection, transport and disposal of POPS Pesticides. Sustainable Land Management Program( Phase-II ) On successful results from phase-I, Phase-II of SLMP is being implemented in 14 dry land districts of all four provinces since 2015. With funding support from UNDP, GEF, Federal PSDP, Provincial ADPs, SLMP-II is assisting the Government of Pakistan in implementation of United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in order to achieve the long-term goals in Sustainable Land Management (SLM). Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (PAK-EPA) Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak-EPA) is mandated to enforce the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997 in the Islamabad Capital Territory. The following major activities are being undertaken by Pak-EPA: Air and Water Quality  Pak-EPA had fixed and mobile automatic air quality monitoring stations. Pak-EPA is capable of monitoring all the major parameters of air quality by mobilizing its mobile air quality station in Islamabad as well as any part of the country.  Data surveillance room to monitor steel industries air pollution in I-9 and I-10 industrial areas during 2018-19. Three Steel industries installed state of art new air reverse bag houses system to reduce air pollution.  Drinking water quality checked by chemical and microbiological analysis of 25 filtration water plants and municipal and waste water pollution monitoring of Industrial Effluent and other Environmental Related Samples in ICT.  Pak-EPA has established an Integrated Surveillance System to monitor ESBL producing E Coli in the environment (water up streams, wet markets and sewerage system) of ICT  Hospital Waste Management in Islamabad Health-care facilities waste contains potentially harmful microorganisms that can infect hospital patients, health workers and the general public. Under Section 31 of PEP Act 1997, based on the Hospital Waste Management Rules, 2005, the current hospital waste management practices in both public and private health care facilities are inspected by Pak-EPA in ICT. Geomatic Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Development Project Climate change is a geographic problem and reducing the risks caused by climate change is an immense challenge. Presently, policy makers, developers, engineers, and many others around the 266
  298. Climate Change world are using geographic information system (GIS) technology to understand a complex situation and offer some tangible solutions in environment and climate change scenarios. Through the support of Geomatic Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Development project in Pakistan, Environmental Protection Agency Islamabad is one of the ventures under Ministry Climate Change which encourages application of Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and Geographical Positioning System (GPS) technologies in environmental monitoring and decision-making. Achievements 1. Digital Environmental Atlas of Islamabad The Digital Environmental Atlas of Islamabad was launched under this project. The basic objective of this Atlas is to enable the visualization of Islamabad’s environmental information through maps. The spatial distribution of environmental indicators is extremely useful in several types of planning including environmental pollution control strategies. Most importantly, through GIS techniques used in preparing atlas maps, it is possible to combine various layers of information for identifying different types of soil, land use, vegetation distribution, stream network etc. 2. Glacier Monitoring of Pakistan Geomatic Center has taken the initiative of Glacier monitoring of Pakistan using GIS and Remote sensing technology. Under this initiative, two glaciers i.e. Baltoro and Siachen were chosen for monitoring purpose. Detailed analysis including stream network analysis, terrain analysis and change detection was carried out for the years 1978 to 2018 using satellite imagery. Achievements of Management Information System (MIS) 2018-19 are as follows:  Establishment of Server room and deployment of Local Area Networking (LAN)  Revamping of website through NITB, MoIT& Telecom  Deployment of new Hi-tech server for Geomatic Center (Central Environmental Application) Climate Change GCISC shows that mean annual temperature has increased over Pakistan in the recent past with greater increase in Sindh and Balochistan. The observed increase is higher in winter when compared with summer. The month wise analysis shows that the maximum increase has been observed in December and February. During the last century, the average temperature over Pakistan has increased by 0.6°C, which is in conformity with the increase of average global temperature. Similarly, mean annual precipitation has also shown increase over most parts of the country. The increase is higher in summer as compared to winter with September and June showing the greatest increase. Future climate change projections based on all the four IPCC-AR5 RCPs scenarios show that the average rise in temperature over Pakistan by the end of the century will be about 1°C higher compared to global average. Within the country, the northern regions will experience relatively more warming than the south. This increase particularly in temperature is associated with a number of adverse impacts, including the increasing frequency of extreme events (floods, droughts, heat waves, and cyclonic activity), steady regression of most glaciers (except a small minority in the Karakorum Range) that supply the bulk of the country's water supply and changes in the rainfall patterns. Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources The primary effect of climate change is the disruption of the water cycle and it is important to understand the impact that climate change is having on drinking water supplies, sanitation and food. 267
  299. Pakistan Economic Survey 2018-19 In many regions around the world , incidence of hydrological extreme events is rising day by day. However, in Pakistan it is in many different forms, especially flash flooding in mountainous streams in the north. Analysis of the available long-term record (1969-2014) of annual total flow volumes and annual maximum flows of the Indus River at Besham Qila (a flow gauging station upstream of Tarbela dam), shows no statistical evidence of a significant and sustained change in the aggregate average annual flows in the upper Indus Basin (UIB) upstream of Tarbela Dam. However, there is a significant increase in the annual maximum flows. This has specially been found in the water availability analysis of the Kabul River Basin, a snow melt-fed basin, where there is a sharper peak with a clear shift in the annual peak flow by a month. Also, more increased frequency of larger magnitude annual maximum flow events has come out as a key finding of this Kabul River Basin study. Another modeling work focused on the Gilgit River Basin, a glacier-fed basin, revealed that faster melting of glaciers under increased temperatures would bring more flows a month earlier but with a flattened peak. More rigorous modeling analysis is currently going on to gain more clear insight of the state and fate of Karakoram glaciers and associated impacts on the river flow regimes in Pakistan. Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture Agriculture is one of the major sectors likely to be adversely affected by climate change. Climate change can disrupt food availability, reduce access to food, and affect food quality. Projected increases in temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, changes in extreme weather events, and reductions in water availability may all result in reduced agricultural productivity. Crop simulation models-based studies depicted significant reductions in wheat and rice yields in the arid, semi-arid and rainfed areas of Pakistan under various IPCC climate change scenarios. In general, the increase in temperature leads to a shortening of the Growing Season Length (GSL) for wheat and rice crops in all regions of the country. The studies further report that South Eastern side of Pakistan is more vulnerable to consecutive heat days stress during flowering and ripening stages of wheat. This vulnerability is increasing both spatially and temporally to all the major wheat producing zones from Lower Sindh to Potohar till end of 21st century under both Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs i.e. RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). In the absence of a change in management practices and technology, an overall reduction will be registered for all cereal crop yields. Study on Smog in Punjab Seasonal climatology plays a vital role in transport of different kinds of air pollutants affecting dayto-day human activities. Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory(HYSPLIT) model based findings have indicated that buildup of anthropogenic aerosols mainly has been taking place in winter (December, January, February, March) and post-monsoon (October, November) for which region wise point source locations were identified. It was found that 65 percent of the sources were detected within Pakistan. Secondly, sectoral contribution of pollutants (NOx, SOx, PM 2.5, CO and NMVOCs) based on the data of last 10 years (2008-17) was determined using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodologies. The outcomes demonstrate the transport sector as biggest contributor (43 percent) in total air pollutants emission in Punjab while the rice residue burning adds just 20 percent. Besides, Industry and Power sectors hold 25 percent and 12 percent, respectively. Overall, the energy sector occupies 80 percent of the total air pollutants emissions in Punjab. The emissions of NOx, being main pollutant responsible for smog formation, are highest from transport sector (58 percent). Industry and Power collectively holds 34 percent share in NOx emissions while rice residue burning is just at 9 percent. Zoological Survey of Pakistan During the current financial year the baseline surveys of Deosai NP (GB), Machiara NP (AJ&K), Lal Sohanra NP (Punjab) has been carried out. Wetlands of Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were visited for mid-winter waterfowl census during December and January in 2018- 2019. The data 268
  300. Climate Change has been sent to Wetlands International . During the current financial year, the studies on Houbara bustard and Indus Blind Dolphin were carried out. Both these studies are part of national level survey, which will be completed in 2020. Conclusion Pakistan is facing environmental challenges, which include climate change impacts, loss of biological diversity, deforestation and degradation of air and water quality. The present government has launched Ten Billion Trees Tsunami Program (TBTTP) to lead the country towards aiming at revival of forestry and control air, weather, wildlife, forestation, watershed management and soil conservation to combat the negative impacts of climate change. 269

  304. ANNEXURE-I Contingent Liabilities Introduction Contingent liabilities are possible obligation that arises from past events and their existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the government . Contingent liabilities should be examined in the same manner as a proposal for a loan, taking into account, inter alia, the credit-worthiness of the borrower, the amount and risks sought to be covered by a sovereign guarantee, the terms of the borrowing, justification and public purpose to be served, probabilities that various commitments will become due and possible costs of such liabilities. Hence, such off balance sheet transactions cannot be overlooked in order to gain a holistic view of a country’s fiscal position and unveil the hidden risks associated with the obligations made by the government outside the budget. Similarly, reported debt levels of a sovereign may be understated owing to the non-inclusion of contingent liabilities, explicit or implicit, which may materialize in future. Contingent liabilities of Pakistan are guarantees issued on behalf of Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs). The sovereign guarantee is normally extended to improve financial viability of projects or activities undertaken by the government entities with significant social and economic benefits. It allows public sector companies to borrow money at lower costs or on more favorable terms and in some cases allows to fulfill the requirement where sovereign guarantee is a precondition for concessional loans from bilateral/multilateral agencies to sub-sovereign borrowers. During first nine months of current fiscal year, the government issued fresh/rollover guarantees aggregating to Rs 168 billion, while, outstanding stock of government guarantees as at end March, 2019 amounted to Rs 1,265 billion. The share of rupee guarantees accounted for 91 percent of the total guarantees stock as at end March 2019. Table-1.1: Guarantees Outstanding as on March 31, 2019 (Rs in billion) Outstanding Guarantees extended to Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) -Domestic Currency -Foreign Currency Memo: Foreign Currency (US$ in million) Source: Debt Policy Coordination Office Staff Calculations, Ministry of Finance 1,265.1 1,151.4 113.7 807.8 The volume of new government guarantees issued during a financial year is limited under Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Limitation Act which stipulates that the government shall not give guarantees aggregating to an amount exceeding 2 percent of the GDP in any financial year including those for rupee lending, rate of return, outright purchase agreements and other claims and commitments provided the renewal of existing guarantees shall be considered as issuing a new guarantee. The limit of 2 percent of the GDP is applicable on guarantees issued both in local and foreign currencies.

The quantum of these guarantees depends on the supply-demand gap of various commodities, their price stabilization objectives, volume procured, and domestic and international prices. The guarantees were issued against the commodity financing operations undertaken by TCP, PASSCO, and provincial governments. 272
