Reforms & the IMF

Dr Rashid Amjad

Structural reform is a prerequisite for Pakistan’s sustained economic growth. To put it bluntly, given our population and labour force growth rates, we need to grow at six per cent at a minimum to reduce poverty, unemployment and regional disparities. Yet, whenever we try to do so, the economy runs into a balance-of-payments crisis and faces the threat of a default. To overcome this binding constraint, we need to undertake painful structural economic reforms.

Unfortunately, most people believe that we are forced to carry out stringent economic reforms only because we borrow from the International Monetary Fund, and, had it not been for the IMF, we could have carried on our economic lives as before — paying little to no taxes, using cheap, subsidised electricity, running high fiscal deficits, and letting our domestic and foreign debt from donors and foreign commercial banks pile up. This is not true. We need reforms because we are not prepared to face the fact that we must change the irresponsible way we currently live and run the economy, with the result that we are forced to go to the IMF again and again or risk defaulting and being declared bankrupt.

Unpacking Pakistan's Economic Challenges

On September 2, 2024, Professor Azam Amjad Chaudhry delivered an insightful lecture at the National School of Public Policy on the complex interplay between economic policies, trade dynamics, and public policy formulation in Pakistan. As the WTO Chair for Pakistan, Professor Chaudhry shed light on critical economic issues affecting the country's macroeconomic stability.


Key topics included the impact of trade tariffs, price elasticity of demand, and technological advancements on Pakistan's economy. The lecture emphasized the balance of payments constrained growth, highlighting how structural issues in the export and import sectors limit Pakistan's economic expansion beyond a certain threshold. This balance of payments dilemma, exacerbated by a narrow export base and inelastic import demands, leads to unsustainable growth as imports rise disproportionately compared to exports when GDP growth accelerates.
