Economy struggling under weight of global energy shock: report

By Hassan Abbas

Pakistan’s economy is struggling under the weight of a global energy shock that has dampened growth, stoked inflation, and strained the country’s external accounts, according to a quarterly report prepared by the Modelling Lab of the Innovation and Technology Centre at the Lahore School of Economics.

The report, covering the fourth quarter of FY 2025-26, was authored by Dr Moazam Mahmood, Professor of Economics; Dr Azam Amjad Chaudhry, Dean of the Faculty of Economics; Amna Noor Fatima, Manager and Data Analyst at the Modelling Lab; and data analysts Anodha Liaquat and Syeda Khadeeja Batool.

Growth dips to 3.1% on energy shock
June 27, 2026

Poverty rises to 21.1% as energy costs fuel inflation, warns Lahore School of Economics report

Shahram Haq

Pakistan's economic growth stands at 3.1% this fiscal year, but a brutal global energy shock is threatening to drag that figure down further, with millions of the country's poorest citizens already paying the price.

That is the central finding of the Lahore School of Economics' latest quarterly assessment for Financial Year 2025-26, released by its Modelling Lab. The report, authored by economists Dr Moazam Mahmood and Dr Azam Amjad Chaudhry, paints a sobering picture of an economy caught between fragile recovery and external pressure it cannot control.Read more »

Policy risks eat into export revenue
June 16, 2026

Shielding exporters from year-to-year tax changes can help stave off losses

Sharam Haq

Pakistan is losing hundreds of millions of dollars in export revenue every month, not because of foreign tariff wars or global trade conflicts, but because of the uncertainty generated by its own policymaking machinery, according to a new study released by economists Azam Chaudhry and Gul Andaman of the Lahore School of Economics (LSE).

The headline finding is striking. When the United States and China fought a bruising tariff war in 2018 and 2019, an episode that reshuffled global supply chains and rattled exporters worldwide, Pakistan's trade policy uncertainty index peaked at 185, against a baseline of 100. But Pakistan's own Finance Act of 2024, a routine annual budget law, pushed that same index to 348, nearly twice the level recorded during the biggest trade conflict in a generation. By 2025, the index had reached three and a half times its historical mean.
