Economy OverviewAccording to the latest IMF projections, Pakistan's economy is expected to record moderate GDP growth of approximately 3.2% in FY2025-26, reflecting an improvement in macroeconomic conditions and a gradual recovery in key sectors such as agriculture and industry, although this remains below the Government's own target of 4.2% for the year. The Government of Pakistan has set an official growth target of 4.2% for FY2025-26 in its federal budget, demonstrating its policy commitment to strengthening economic performance. Meanwhile, the World Bank projects growth at around 3.0% for the same period, noting that recent floods and other structural challenges have tempered the outlook.
On December 15, 2025 the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the State Bank of Pakistan decided to reduce the key policy rate by 50 basis points, effective December 16, 2025, bringing it down to 10.5%. This decision was made as inflation remained within the target range of 5-7%. The cut represents a cumulative reduction of 250 basis points over 2025, aimed at supporting sustained economic growth.
Economic momentum appears resilient, with LSM output up 4.1% y/y in Q1-FY26 and robust activity in automobiles, cement, and machinery imports. Wheat production is likely to exceed targets, supporting overall growth. The current account deficit stands at $0.7 billion (July-October), while remittances and
SBP's FX have pushed reserves above $15.5 billion, expected to cross $17.8 billion by June 2026. Export pressures persist amid global headwinds, but lower oil prices may help contain import growth. Overall, economic fundamentals remain broadly positive.

The conventional segment reached PKR 212 billion from Rs.202 billion, showing steady growth, and the Takaful segment rose to PKR 31 billion from PKR 25 billion, reflecting strong demand for Shariah-compliant solutions. The overall performance indicates a stable, steadily growing market, with conventional insurance maintaining its lead and Takaful showing accelerating adoption.

Forward-looking
With inflationary pressures easing, the reduction of the discount rate from 13% to 10.50% signals a more supportive macroeconomic environment. Lower interest rates are expected to reduce financing costs, encourage investment activity, and strengthen overall market confidence. Key economic indicators have shown gradual improvement, including moderating inflation and more stable financial conditions. Nevertheless, achieving sustainable economic growth continues to face challenges, particularly amid global uncertainties and ongoing market volatility.
As we move into 2026, the Company remains cautiously optimistic. Our strategy will focus on expanding the business while maintaining disciplined and prudent underwriting practices. This balanced approach is critical to safeguarding profitability and managing risk effectively. We will continue to emphasize underwriting quality over volume, while also benefiting from improved investment income, to deliver stronger and more sustainable results.
