Pakistan has the 26th largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity and 44th largest by nominal GDP. GDP per capita is $3,149 and the economy has grown at an average of 4.14% annually. Several key sectors drive Pakistan's economy, including agriculture, industry, infrastructure development in transportation and communications, and strategic trade policies aim to boost exports and economic growth over the next three years. However, Pakistan faces challenges such as low savings and exports relative to imports, fiscal deficits, lagging social indicators, energy shortages, high costs of doing business, and political instability.

eleven countries that, along with the BRICs, have a potential to
become one of the world's large economies in the 21st century.
Growth poles of Pakistan's economy are situated along the Indus
River the diversified economies of Karachi and major urban centers
in the Punjab, coexisting with lesser developed areas in other parts
of the country.
In 2014, foreign currency reserves crossed $15 billion which has led
