Exchange rate volatility: Pakistan govt plans to minimise risks with hedging
ISLAMABAD: The government has planned to use hedging instruments to mitigate exchange rate volatility risks, besides efforts are under way to develop domestic futures and interest rate swap markets. This has been revealed in the 'Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS) fiscal year 2026-28,' released by the Debt Management Office, Finance Division. Nominal GDP is projected to increase from Rs114.7 trillion in fiscal year 2025 to Rs162.5 trillion by fiscal year 2028, reflecting an expected broad-based economic recovery. Commodity producing sectors are expected to expand, driven by agriculture and manufacturing. Pakistan achieves early retirement of Rs1.5trn public debt in FY25 Fiscal consolidation is expected to result in an average primary surplus of around one per cent of GDP during the strategy period, in line with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme targets. The strategy noted that the government is committed to actively manage foreign exchange (FX) risk. Innovative instruments, such as debt-for-nature swaps, are also being explored to manage external debt while reducing associated risks, it added. MTDS noted that total public debt as of end-fiscal year 2025 is estimated at Rs78.2 trillion (USD 275.9 billion), equivalent to around 68 per cent of estimated GDP. Over the past years, financing has increasingly been obtained from domestic sources. Consequently, the share of domestic debt increased from around 62 per cent of total public debt in fiscal year 2023 to around 68 per cent of total public debt in fiscal year 2025. Cost of debt in fiscal year 2025 remains elevated, particularly for domestic borrowing. The overall weighted average interest rate stands at 11.9 per cent, driven largely by the significantly higher cost of domestic debt relative to external sources. While external debt carries a much lower weighted average interest rate of 4.4 per cent, reflecting the high shares of concessional and semi-concessional financing, domestic debt bears a substantially higher average rate of 15.82 per cent, underscoring the high cost of domestic financing. As a result, interest payments have consumed nearly sixper cent of GDP in fiscal year 2025. Refinancing risk has declined as the Average Time to Maturity (ATM) of domestic debt improved from 2.7 years in June 2024 to 3.8 years in June 2025. The ATM for external debt remains over 6.1 years, resulting in an overall ATM of approximately 4.5 years. Interest rate risk is high for domestic debt, reflecting a shift to floating rate domestic debt instruments due to market demand over the past years, primarily due to a growing reliance on floating-rate instruments in response to market preferences. This trend was particularly evident in fiscal year 2023, when investors showed a strong preference for short- to medium-term floating-rate Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), notably the 5-year tenor with semi-annual coupons. This shift was driven by expectations of continued interest rate hikes and a high policy rate environment, which peaked at 22 per cent during fiscal year 2023. Nearly 80 per cent of domestic debt is subject to an interest rate refixing in fiscal year 2026, with an average time to refixing (ATR) of only 1.2 years. ATR for external debt is higher at 4.5 per cent, reflecting a higher share of fixed rate debt. Foreign currency risk remains manageable regarding the share of foreign currency denominated debt in total public debt, which is expected to be moderate 32 per cent as of end-fiscal year 2025. The share of short-term external debt relative to reserves, however, remains high, reflecting both increased short-term external borrowing and the low level of reserves. Although, recent efforts have transpired into extending the maturity profile and contain currency risk, the MTDS fiscal year 2026-28 further shifts toward rebalancing the debt portfolio by increasing reliance on longer-term, fixed-rate domestic instruments and reducing exposure to short-term, high-cost borrowing. To achieve these goals, the efforts will be made to expand net issuances of fixed-rate Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), including newly introduced zero-coupon bonds in both conventional and sharia markets, which have been designed to attract long-term institutional investors. Floating-rate issuance will be limited to longer tenor, while the share of Treasury Bills (T-bills) will be limited to avoid further short-term debt accumulation. A significant emphasis is also placed on deepening the domestic capital market through a targeted increase in Sharia-compliant instruments, aiming to exceed 20 per cent of total domestic securities.

Bilateral trade, investment: Pakistan, US vow to boost cooperation
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral trade and investment, following a high-level meeting between Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb and Natalie Baker, Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy here. During the meeting held at the Finance Division, both sides discussed avenues for expanding economic cooperation, finalising a landmark trade agreement, and unlocking new opportunities across key sectors including energy, minerals, IT, and cryptocurrency. The finance minister stated that Pakistan's economy had 'turned a corner,' noting that the recent upgrade by Moody's — aligning all three major international rating agencies in their assessment of Pakistan's economic performance—was clear evidence that the hard and necessary reforms undertaken by the government were yielding positive results. He highlighted Pakistan's bold and much-needed tariff reforms aimed at liberalising trade and steering the country towards export-led growth. Aurangzeb thanked the US for its continued economic and development support to Pakistan and recalled his recent visit to Washington, DC, where he had constructive engagements with US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and United States Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer to finalise the trade agreement between both the countries. The minister emphasised that the agreement would usher in a new era of economic collaboration —particularly in energy, mines and minerals, IT, cryptocurrency, and other sectors — while expanding market access, attracting investment, and fostering cooperation in areas of mutual interest. He expressed hope that the deal would lead to increased US investment in Pakistan's infrastructure, development projects, and digital and mining sectors, which were ready for tangible action and progress. Natalie Baker said that the trade agreement presented a significant opportunity for both Pakistan and the US to expand bilateral trade. She noted that US companies were taking a keen interest in investment and entrepreneurial opportunities in Pakistan, particularly in supply chain, production, project management, energy, critical minerals, mining, and oil exploration. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to working closely together to advance these initiatives, ensuring mutually beneficial outcomes and further strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.

Aurangzeb reviews progress on key social impact initiatives
ISLAMABAD: In a bid to accelerate government's development agenda, Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired three consecutive high-level meetings on Friday to review progress on key social impact initiatives. These projects — focused on skill development, farmer empowerment, and energy efficiency — are slated for launch in the coming weeks and are central to the Prime Minister's vision for inclusive and sustainable growth. The initiatives are being implemented in close coordination with relevant ministries, regulatory bodies, financial institutions, and technical partners, and are designed to generate measurable social impact while aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). PM's Fan Replacement Programme: Aurangzeb orders launch preparations by month-end The first meeting reviewed the Pakistan Skills Impact Bond, the country's first outcomes-based, impact-linked financing instrument to be raised domestically. Developed under the Social Impact Financing Framework created by a Ministry of Finance-led committee constituted by the prime minister, and under the leadership of the finance minister, this instrument will serve as the first in a broader programme to mobilise funding from both domestic and international private and philanthropic capital. All social impact financing will be tied to one or more of the six priority pillars outlined in the Framework and linked to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The finance minister observed that the Pakistan Skills Impact Bond must be positioned as a 'trailblazer' that not only meets immediate development needs but also sets a precedent for attracting a more diverse and deeper investor base. He stressed that this was an opportunity to demonstrate that Pakistan could lead in innovative financing approaches, capable of attracting outcomes funders from around the globe. The second meeting focused on the National Subsistence Farmers Support Scheme (NSFSS), a flagship component of the ECC-approved Access to Finance framework for farmers. Inspired by the prime minister and driven by the Ministry of Finance-led task force under the direction of the finance minister, the NSFSS will unlock digitally enabled, uncollateralised bank loans for smallholder farmers—those owning or cultivating up to 12.5 acres of land, including tenant farmers. By leveraging agronomy-related satellite data through the Land Information and Management System (LIMS), banks will integrate this data into their credit scoring models, enabling the provision of loans for agricultural inputs at reasonable mark-up rates, in contrast to the high costs associated with informal lending from middlemen. The State Bank of Pakistan is collaborating with banks and the Pakistan Banks' Association to operationalise the scheme via a centralised portal developed and managed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), ensuring an end-to-end digital customer journey. The finance minister noted that this would be 'the first time space technology will be driving agricultural credit decisions on a national scale' and that the initiative represented 'a breakthrough moment' for rural financing in Pakistan. He also pointed out that with 97 percent of farmers owning less than 12.5 acres as per the latest 7th Agriculture Census, the scheme was directly targeted at the segment most in need of affordable credit, and it would have a transformative impact on rural livelihoods, agricultural productivity, and financial inclusion. The third meeting reviewed progress on the Prime Minister's Fan Replacement Programme, an energy efficiency initiative co-developed by the Power Division's National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (NEECA) in collaboration with banks.
