INFLATION

Inflation rate in Pakistan was recorded at 9.6 percent in July of 2012. Historically, from

2003 until 2012, Pakistan Inflation Rate averaged 10.6 Percent reaching an all time high of 25.3Percent in August of 2008 and a record low of 1.4 Percent in July of 2003. Inflation rate refers to

a general rise in prices measured against a standard level of purchasing power. The most well

known measures of Inflation are the CPI which measures consumer prices, and the GDP deflator,

which measures inflation in the whole of the domestic economy. This page includes a chart with

historical data for Pakistan Inflation Rate.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

This is critical for a business to keep an eye on. The demand for their good or service is

likely to depend on the income levels of consumers. Economic growth means that the income

level in the economy is rising. However, how long will this last? Is growth too fast, in which

case is higher inflation likely? Businesses also need to think carefully how sensitive their product

is to changes in income. If their good is more of a luxury good, then demand may rise

significantly as growth rises and they need to ensure they have the capacity to meet demand.

However, they must also watch carefully in case the economy heads for a recession as this will in

turn mean a large fall in demand and they may need to keep their capacity and therefore costs

under control. Pakistan economy number in the world is 25th.

BALANCE OF PAYMENTS

The balance of payments is a measure of the trade performance of an economy. It

measures the money flowing in from selling goods and services and from investment (credits on

the balance of payments account) and the money flowing overseas from the buying of goods and

services from overseas (imports) and investment overseas. The economy may have a surplus or

deficit on the current account of the balance of payments (goods and services). A deficit means

that imports of goods and services are greater than exports, whereas a surplus means that exports

are greater than imports.
