Progress on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8, which focuses on decent work and economic growth, is slow in Pakistan. The Pakistani economy has experienced a slowdown.
Here's a summary of the progress:
- Economic Slowdown: According to the available data, the annual growth rate of real GDP per capita declined to -3.36% in the fiscal year 2019-2020. This represents a significant decrease from the 2.04% growth rate observed in 2014-2015.
| Indicator | 2014-2015 | 2019-2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Real GDP per capita growth | 2.04% | -3.36% |
It's important to note that while SDG 8 progress is slow, some advances have been made on SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure) targets.
