- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has warned that a BoP crisis is imminent in Pakistan, if its economy grows more than 3.8% annually without fixing economic imbalances. Pakistan will have to fix its exports and reduce dependency on imports to avoid the next balance of payments crisis. “In the current structural and product specialization circumstances, if Pakistan’s economy is to grow faster than 3.8% in the medium-term, external imbalances will occur,” the report warned. The ADB paper noted that since end-2017, the government has implemented a number of economic reforms to address the BOP crisis, including regulatory measures, reduced imports, increased interest rates, and allowed depreciation of the exchange rate to the US dollar by almost 33%. Despite significant currency depreciation, merchandise exports did not pick up significantly and Pakistan’s total debt and liabilities have risen sharply.

The move could expand a growing U.S. trade deficit with China, which reached a 5-month high in June according to the U.S. Commerce Department.
