SLAMABAD: Pakistan achieved (हासिल) the highest annual growth of 5.3 per cent in a decade(दशक)and the size of the country's economy has surpassed(पार) USD 300 billion, a media report said today.

However, the figure is provisional and subject to variations once the final results are available at the end of the fiscal year.     

At 5.3 per cent, Pakistan's economic growth has finally attained the pace it had before the crisis hit the country in 2008, 'The Express Tribune' reported.   

For the next fiscal year 2017-18, the government has set the GDP growth target at 6 per cent.     

As a result of over 5 per cent growth rate, the nominal size of Pakistan's economy increased to USD 304.4 billion.     

Slightly over two-thirds of the growth – 67 per cent to be precise – came from the services sector, which performed even better than the estimates.     

The government achieved services and agriculture sectors growth targets but missed the industrial sector growth target despite heavy focus on it.     

After witnessing flat growth in the last fiscal year, the agriculture sector this time performed better due to exceptional growth in forestry and better performance of major important crops.     

The sector grew at a pace of 3.5 per cent, equivalent to the annual target.     

The government missed all its targets set for the industrial sector despite having the most favoured status.

The output of large-scale manufacturing stood at 4.9 per cent, below the official target while small-scale manufacturing grew to 8.1 per cent. Mining and quarrying sub sector grew only 1.3 per cent against a target of 7.4 per cent.   

The construction sector grew at a pace of 9 per cent but missed the target of 15.2 per cent.     

The services sector, which accounts for more than half the economy, grew by almost 6 per cent against a target of 5.7 per cent.     

Aided by heavy government borrowing and an increase in the money supply, the financial services sector and government services beat expectations.     

Wholesale and retail trade posted 6.8 per cent growth against a target of 5.5 per cent.     

Transport, storage & communication sub sector saw 3.9 per cent growth.     

Finance and insurance witnessed 10.8 per cent growth against a target of 7.2 per cent.
