Economic dilemma

Dr Rashid Amjad

In his recent address to parliament, the finance minister stated that he would resist any pressure to revive growth, presumably until the necessary reforms were completed and economic stability fully restored.

This firm stand, however, was questioned by some critics who asked why he was further building reserves based on high-interest commercial loans. Is this a sign that the economic stability the government claims it has achieved in a short period is simply a mirage?

Essential Economic Insights for Public Policy in Pakistan


Dr. Azam Chaudhry, Pro-Rector Lahore School of Economics was a guest lecturer at the National School of Public Policy (Pakistan), for its 122nd National Management Course. Dr. Azam Chaudhry's lecture “Essential Insights of Economics for Public Policy Formulation and Implementation in Pakistan,” focused on:

Elasticity: This concept measures how responsive demand for a product is to changes in its price, which is vital for understanding the effects of currency depreciation on exports and imports in Pakistan.

Economic Constraints: The lecture discussed how low export growth and the quality of exports can lead to repeated economic slowdowns, impacting overall GDP growth.

Evidence-Based Policymaking: Dr. Chaudhry highlighted the importance of using data from actual economic events to assess the impact of policies, such as the effects of trade tariffs on exports.


These concepts are crucial for shaping effective public policies that can enhance trade, stimulate GDP growth, and address the structural issues within Pakistan's economy, particularly in light of challenges like the balance of payments crisis.

The Management of the Pakistan Economy: 1947-2024

Is it possible to cover the 77 years of economic management of this country in a book of just 115 pages? It looks impossible but the author of The Management of the Pakistan Economy- 1947-2024, who has a number of books to his credit, has done it.

Dr Rashid Amjad, the author, is professor of economics at the Lahore School of Economics. He also spent 26 years with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as Director Employment Policy. He has rich and diversified knowledge on the subject. So, when he says poverty declined during the first two decades of (2000-2019) and more things like that, we have to rely on his deep knowledge.

However, Dr Amjad makes it clear in the very beginning that he has written this book on the management of Pakistan’s economy 40 years after he last delved into the subject. His previously co-authored book with the late Dr Viqar Ahmed, published in 1984, was also on the same topic, but it only covered the period from 1947 to 1982.
