She has    been under pressure from international donors and the IMF - which gave    Pakistan a $1.3 billion structural adjustment credit in February 1994    - to continue the economic reforms and austerity measures begun by her    predecessor, caretaker Prime Minister Moeen QURESHI (July-October    1993). Foreign exchange reserves climbed to more than $3 billion in    1994, and the budget deficit was substantially reduced. Real GDP    growth was 4% in FY93/94, up from 2.3% in FY92/93. Foreign direct and    portfolio investment also have increased. Privatization of large    public sector utilities began in 1994 with the sale of 12% of the    Pakistan Telecommunications Corporation (PTC) and the Water and Power    Development Authority (WAPDA); the sale of state-owned banks and other    large units are planned for 1995. Still, the government must cope with    long-standing economic vulnerabilities - high levels of debt service    and defense spending, a small tax base, a huge population, and    dependence on cotton-based exports - which hamper its ability to    create a stable economic environment. In addition, Pakistan's    infrastructure is inadequate and deteriorating, low levels of literacy    constrain industrial growth, and increasing sectarian, ethnic, and    tribal violence disrupt production.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $248.5 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $1,930 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 12% (FY93/94)       Unemployment rate: 10% (FY90/91 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $10.5 billion    expenditures: $11.2 billion, including capital expenditures of $3.1    billion (FY93/94)       Exports: $6.7 billion (1993)    commodities: cotton, textiles, clothing, rice, leather, carpets    partners: US, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, UK, UAE, France       Imports: $9.5 billion (1993)    commodities: petroleum, petroleum products, machinery, transportation    equipment, vegetable oils, animal fats, chemicals    partners: Japan, US, Germany, UK, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, South Korea       External debt: $24 billion (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 5.6% (FY93/94); accounts for 18% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 10,800,000 kW (1994)    production: 52.4 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 389 kWh (1993)       Industries: textiles, food processing, beverages, construction    materials, clothing, paper products, shrimp       Agriculture: 24% of GDP; world's largest contiguous irrigation system;    major crops - cotton, wheat, rice, sugarcane, fruits, vegetables;    livestock products - milk, beef, mutton, eggs       Illicit drugs: major illicit producer of opium and hashish for the    international drug trade; remains world's third largest opium producer    (160 metric tons in 1994); major center for processing Afghan heroin    and key transit area for Southwest Asian heroin moving to Western    market       Economic aid:    recipient: $2.5 billion (FY91/92); $2.5 billion (FY92/93); $2.5    billion (FY93/94); no US commitments, includes bi- and multilateral    aid       Currency: 1 Pakistani rupee (PRe) = 100 paisa       Exchange rates: Pakistani rupees (PRs) per US$1 - 30.860 (January    1995), 30.570 (1994), 28.107 (1993), 25.083 (1992), 23.801 (1991),    21.707 (1990)       Fiscal year: 1 July - 30 June       Pakistan:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 8,773 km    broad gauge: 7,718 km 1.676-m gauge (286 km electrified; 1,037 double    track)    narrow gauge: 445 km 1.000-m gauge; 610 km less than 1.000-m gauge    (1985)       Highways:    total: 177,410 km    paved: 94,027 km    unpaved: 83,383 km (1991 est.)       Pipelines: crude oil 250 km; petroleum products 885 km; natural gas    4,044 km (1987)       Ports: Gwadar, Karachi, Ormaro (under construction), Port Muhammad bin    Qasim       Merchant marine:    total: 30 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 352,189 GRT/532,782 DWT    ships by type: bulk 1, cargo 25, oil tanker 1, passenger-cargo 3       Airports:    total: 119    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 12    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 21    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 33    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 14    with paved runways under 914 m: 24    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 7    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 8       Pakistan:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones; about 7 telephones/1,000 persons; the    domestic telephone system is poor, adequate only for government and    business use; the system for international traffic is better    local: NA    intercity: microwave radio relay    international: 3 INTELSAT (1 Atlantic Ocean and 2 Indian Ocean) earth    stations; microwave radio relay       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 19, FM 8, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 29    televisions: NA       Pakistan:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Civil Armed Forces, National Guard,    paramilitary/security forces       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 30,219,551; males fit for    military service 18,544,008; males reach military age (17) annually    1,429,719 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $3.2 billion, 5.6% of    GDP (FY94/95)
