The World Economic Forum (WEF) has acknowledged Pakistan’s positive strides towards economic stability despite significant challenges. In its Global Risk Report 2025, the forum deemed Pakistan’s economic situation satisfactory.
According to the report, Pakistan has made notable progress in controlling inflation, improving the value of its currency, and managing debt effectively through sound decision-making.
The WEF praised Pakistan’s restraint from participating in the regional arms race and highlighted its prudent approach as commendable amidst rising global military budgets.
The report also noted that Pakistan remains one of the most climate-vulnerable countries, facing challenges such as floods, water scarcity, food security risks, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and employment threats.
Additionally, the WEF shed light on increasing political and social polarization in Pakistan and warned that inflation, currency devaluation, and growing debt burdens could weaken the country’s economy.
Like other developing nations, Pakistan must adopt strategic resilience and innovative policies to address its complex risks and secure sustainable growth
