Pakistan's Economic Revival: A Path Through the Storm

Abstract

Pakistan is at a pivotal moment in its economic trajectory. For years, it has struggled with recurring economic fluctuations, relying on external bailouts while facing political uncertainty and deep-rooted structural challenges. Yet, as of February 2025, glimmers of hope are emerging amidst the chaos. With a population of over 240 million, abundant natural resources, and a strategic geographic position, Pakistan has the raw ingredients for an economic revival. The question is whether its leadership, institutions, and people can seize this moment to break free from the shackles of the past. The road to recovery is neither short nor easy, but it is attainable - if Pakistan can confront its challenges head-on and chart a pragmatic course forward.
