Pakistan’s per capita income rises to $1,901 in FY2025-26

Pakistan’s per capita income increased to $1,901 in FY2026 from $1,751 a year earlier, supported by economic growth of 3.7%, according to the Economic Survey 2025-26.

The survey showed that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) at current market prices rose to Rs126.87 trillion in FY2026, compared with Rs114.04 trillion in the previous fiscal year, reflecting an increase of 11.25%.

Inflation remained moderate for most of the fiscal year, with average Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation recorded at 6.19% during July-April FY2026, compared with 4.73% in the corresponding period last year.

However, year-on-year inflation accelerated to 10.89% in April 2026, up from 0.28% in April 2025.

Investment activity remained largely unchanged, with the investment-to-GDP ratio recorded at 14.38%, compared with 14.42% in the previous fiscal year.

The national savings rate declined to 14.13% of GDP from 14.87% a year earlier, while domestic savings were estimated at 7.03% of GDP, according to the survey.

The government attributed the improvement in per capita income and overall economic activity to continued macroeconomic stabilisation during the fiscal year.
