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,

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:

ECONOMICS
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
2007, the World Bank approved a US$350 million to support ongoing
implementation of the Government's Poverty Reduction Strategy. At the provincial
level, the Bank approved operations worth US$430 million for Punjab, Sindh and
the North West Frontier Province to help improve irrigation, education and human
development indicators.
They are working with Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund to bringdifference in the lives of poor.
The World Bank funded Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund Project (PPAF) isdesigned to reduce poverty and empower the rural and urban poor in Pakistanthrough the provision of resources and services to the poor, especially women.This is being achieved through an integrated approach that includes building

institutions of the poor and then providing them with micro-credit loans; grants forsmall scale infrastructure projects; training and skill development and social sectorinterventions. The program is impacting over 10 million people. PPAF has issued1.5 million micro-credit loans, (average loan-size US$ 150), benefiting nearly 9million people.
They are helping the victims of the Earthquake.The October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan destroyed or damaged around 575,000
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
improving the quality and relevance of its higher education and technical and
vocational training system. They have a strong focus on improving the quality of
education.
They are joining with international partners to help Pakistan fight polio.
They approved two projects US$42.71 million in 2003 and US $ 74.27 million in
2006 for Pakistan to purchase the oral polio vaccine.The loan to Pakistan will help
the countrys Polio Eradication Initiative which aims to make Pakistan a Polio free
country. Since 1997 the number of polio cases has decreased from 1147 to 31 in
2007. The first project has been successfully completed.
They are focusing on un-served and underserved low-income
communities.
In NWFP and AJK, Bank projects are supporting delivery of cost effective and
sustainable community development schemes, and basic infrastructure and
services. To achieve this, the role and capabilities of local governments at the
district and lower levels have been strengthened. In AJK, the project has already
reached a population of 893,000 against the original target of 830,000, through 320

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.
