    First of all we should understand Pakistans economy and on what factors it

    depends. In that we can easily understand the role of IMF and World Bank on our

    economy.

    Economy of Pakistan

    The economy of Pakistan is the 27th largest economy in the world in terms

    ofpurchasing power, and the 48th largest in absolute dollar terms.Pakistan is thesecond largest economy inSouth Asia. Pakistan's economy mainly encompasses,

    Textiles

    Chemicals

    Food processing

    Agriculture

    and other industries.

    Economic History

    At the time of independence in 1947, Pakistan was a very poor country and its

    economy majorly depends on agriculture. Since independence, Pakistan'saverage economic growth rate has been higher than the average growth rate of the

    world economy during the period. Average annual was 6.8% in the 1960s, 4.8% in

    the 1970s, and 6.5% in the 1980s. Average annual growth fell to 4.6% in the 1990s

    with significantly lower growth in the second half of that decade. Industrial-sector

    growth, including manufacturing, was also above average. During the 1960s,

    Pakistan was seen as a model of economic development around the world, and

    there was much praise for its economic progression.

    The table which gives every five years progress of GDP, US Dollar Exchange Rate,

    Inflation Index, and Per Capita Income is given on the next page.

    Revenue:

    The income of a government from taxation, excise duties,customs, or other sources, appropriated to the payment of the public expenses.

    The Board of Revenue has collected nearly one trillion Rupees ($14.1 billion) in

    taxes in the 2007-2008.

    Sectors of Pakistan economy

    Agriculture: Pakistan ranks fifth in the Muslim world and twentiethworldwide in farm output. About 25% of Pakistan's total land area is undercultivation and is watered by one of the largest irrigation systems in the world.Agriculture accounts for about 23% of GDP and employs about 44% of the laborforce. Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited is contributing a lot in our agriculture sector.

    Industry: Pakistan ranks forty-first in the world and fifty-fifth worldwide in

    factory output. Pakistan's industrial sector accounts for about 24% of GDP.Cottontextile production and apparel manufacturing are Pakistan's largest industries,accounting for about 66% of the merchandise exports and almost 40% of theemployed labour force. Merchandise exports mean export of goods not services.Other major industries include cement, fertilizer, edible oil, sugar, steel, tobacco,chemicals, machinery, and food processing.

    Automobile industry:

    Pakistan is an emerging market for automobiles andautomotive parts. The total contribution of Auto industry to GDP in 2007 is 2.8%.

    Auto sector presently, contributes 16% to the manufacturing sector which also is

    expected to increase 25% in the next 7 years. But in my opinion this predictioncant be correct due to high inflation and shortage of CNG.

    CNG industry:

    Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a substitute for gasoline

    (petrol) or diesel fuel. It is considered to be an environmentally clean alternative

    World Bank

    The first thing comes to my mind is that what is World Bank and what is the

    purpose of World Bank. The World Bank is one of the worlds largest sources of

    funding and knowledge to support governments of member countries in their efforts

    to invest in schools and health centers, provide water and electricity, fight disease

    and protect the environment. The World Bank is an international organization

    owned by the 184 countries. It is not a bank.

    International monetary fund

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 186 countries, working

    to help the development of global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability,

    facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic

    growth, and reduce poverty around the world.The IMF works to help developmentof global growth and economic stability. It provides policy advice and financing to

    members, in economic difficulties and also works with developing nations to help

    them achieve macroeconomic stability and reduce poverty.

    The IMF's fundamental mission is to help ensure stability in the international

    system. It does so in three ways: keeping track of the global economy and the

    economies of member countries; lending to countries with balance of payments

    difficulties; and giving practical help to members.

    Difference between imf & world bank

    People sometimes confuse the World Bank with the International Monetary Fund(IMF). Although the IMFs functions complement those of the World Bank, it is atotally separate organization. While the World Bank provides support to developingcountries, the IMF aims to stabilize the international monetary system and monitorsthe worlds currencies.

    Imf assistance to PakistanWhen IMF is advancing loans to their members, they not only analyze the

    economic conditions of their members but the borrower will also have to frame its

    policies in the light of directions given by IMF authorities.

    The question in my mind is that when and how much was lent to Pakistan by IMF.

    And what were the conditions imposed by IMF and what were the consequences of

    these loans.

    Pakistan joined IMF on 11th July, 1950. IMF is providing financial assistance to

    Pakistan since 1952. According to 1977 statistics, Pakistan borrowed 1193 milliondollars from IMF. Since 1980, the fund has made four main agreements with

    Pakistan as,

    1. In November,1980

    2. In December, 1988

    3. In February, 1994

    4. In July, 1997

    1. THE AGREEMENT OF 1980:

    Under this agreement, IMF provided $1.7 billion

    for the period of 1980-83. The biggest condition against this loan was to reduce the

    fiscal deficit. For this purpose they asked the Government to increase the prices of

    public enterprises like fertilizers, cement, electricity, clean water, educational and

    health services. The indirect taxes should increase and subsidies should be

    withdrawn. But the budget deficit in 1980-81 was 5.8% of GDP went to 9.1% in

    1985-86. When Government of Pakistan again asked IMF for assistance, they

    showed dissatisfaction over our efforts to reduce fiscal deficit. Accordingly, IMF

    prepared a package of policies for Pakistan and chalked-out a time-table for the

    required changes. IMF set the following conditions for Pakistan:

    1. Rupee be devalued by 20% in terms of dollar

    2. The imports be liberalized

    3. Prices should increase and subsides be withdrawn

    4. The custom duty on imports be decreased and sales and exercise duty

    be imposed in the country

    5. The industrial sector is liberalized from govt. controls through de-

    regulations and privatization.

    2. THE AGREEMENT OF 1988:

    During the period of 1988-91, IMF gave the

    assistance of $900 million to Pakistan in order to remove the deficit in BOP by

    redressing structural problems. According to this agreement:

    1. The current account deficit of BOP which was 4% of GNP in 1987 was to be

    reduced to 3.3% of GNP in 1988-89, 2.7% in 1989-90, and 2.5% of GNP in1990-91.

    2. The foreign debt burden which was 31% of GNP in 1987 would be

    decreased to 25% in 19990-91.

    3. The overall fiscal deficit of federal and provincial govt. which was 8.5% of

    GDP in 1986-87 would be reduced to 4.8% of GDP in 1990-91.

    4. The bank borrowings be reduced to 1% of GDP, while non-bank borrowings

    to 3.6% of GDP.

    5. The tax structure will be changed. The tax-base will be expanded and tax

    collection system will be improved.

    6. The system of general sales tax will be introduced.

    7. The federal and provincial govt. will control their expenditures, while the

    price of social services will be increased.

    The main objective of this agreement was to reduce fiscal deficit. But the govt.

    failed to meet these conditions. The budget deficit which was 8.7% of GDP in 1990-

    91 decreased to 8% GDP in 1992-93. This means that the budget deficit could notbe decrease appreciably.

    3. THE AGREEMENT OF 1994:

    The aim of this agreement was to reduce the

    financial deficit to 4% of GDP in 1994-95 and to 3% of GDP in 1995-96. But this

    agreement was renegotiated in December, 1995. As a result, this target was set at

    5% of GDP for 1994-95 and 4% for 1995-95. In this agreement IMF stressed upon

    early conditions. As the price of gas, electricity, water, education and health

    services should be increased.

    The govt. of Pakistan made some efforts but little success was attained. The

    budget deficit was 5.8% of GDP in 1994-95 and the target for 1995-96 was set at

    5% of GDP. This led to create a suspension in the attainment of loan of $1.4 billion

    could be raised. Then the govt. of Pakistan failed to complete the conditions of IMF.

    The IMFs Executive Board agreed to increase lending to

    Pakistan by an extra $3.2 billion to fund priority spending and help the government

    provide assistance to nearly three million people displaced by military operations

    and a difficult security situation.

    The Board reviewed progress under a $7.6 billion Stand-By Arrangement forPakistan that was agreed in November last year. During the August 7 discussion,

    Directors agreed to increase lending by $3.2 billion, after a request from the

    Pakistan government to meet the countrys increased balance of payments needs

    resulting from higher oil prices.

    EFFECTS OF IMF PROGRAMES:

    IMF authorities think that the problem of

    Pakistan increased because of non-compliance with the IMF programs. But it is not

    true. The IMF program has led to increase the charges of gas, electricity, petrol andtelephone. The imposition of sales tax and cut in tariff rates on the advice of IMF

    has greatly affected the incomes of the poor and middle class earners. They have

    widened the gaps between the incomes. The absolute poverty has increased which

    has promoted unsocial activities. But this is not all because of IMF, we are

    responsible for it. If our fiscal deficit and trade deficit decreases then we should not

    go to IMF for financing. But we should be prepared to pay more in the form of taxes

    and reduces imports; particularly oil etc, the dependence on IMF may go down.

    World Bank assistance to Pakistan

    They are supporting reforms at both the federal and provincial level.

    For encouraging growth, investment, and employment generation,the Federal and

    Provincial Governments have been implementing various reform programs. In June

    rural houses, and rendering over 3 million people without shelter in North West

    Frontier Province (NWFP) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K). In response, the

    government created the Earthquake Relief and Reconstruction Authority (ERRA)

    and launched an ambitious US$1.5 billion owner-driven rebuilding program -

    largely suited to the mainly rural affected population. It is partially funded by World

    Bank.

    They are working with the government to improve education

    outcomes.

    The World Bank is providing assistance to the Government of Pakistan in

    education reforms, at both the national and the provincial level. This support is

    provided through development policy operations with a strong focus on primary and

    secondary education. These programs target increasing participation of girls and

    children from poorer houses. The World Bank is also assisting the government in

    communities.

    sustainable community development schemes, and basic infrastructure and

    services. To achieve this, the role and capabilities of local governments at the

    Suggestion

    Pakistan is a country having many natural resources in it. We should be selfsufficient, we should rely on ourselves. Sincerity is the key to success so we should

    be sincere with our country and work hard for its development. If we have financial

    crisis, we should not beg for aid from IMF and World Bank or any other

    organization, but we can handle the problem by relying on ourselves. We should

    pay more taxes and we should try to remove corruption from every department of

    our beloved homeland. The government should make such opportunities that

    foreign investment is attracted towards us. By applying these things we dont need

    to depend on IMF and World Bank.
