Pakistan’s Literacy Rate Reaches 63%
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced that Pakistan’s literacy rate has reached 63%. This milestone was highlighted in his presentation of the Economic Survey for the outgoing fiscal year 2025-26.
Despite economic and regional challenges, including tariffs at the beginning of the fiscal year, floods in August and September 2025, and a regional conflict in March this year, Aurangzeb noted that Pakistan’s resilience remained intact. The GDP topped $452 billion, with per capita income rising to $1,901 during the same period.
Sector-wise performance showed growth across various industries, including cement (10%), fertilizers (17%), and petroleum (5%). The current account also maintained a surplus of $72 million in the July-March period. Positive growth trends were recorded across 16 sectors, with 16 out of 22 manufacturing sectors showing improvement during the fiscal year.
