flag Moody’s downgrades Pakistan’s banking outlook to stable, citing economic recovery and remittances, but warns of ongoing fiscal and structural challenges.

flag Moody’s has downgraded Pakistan’s banking sector outlook from positive to stable, citing gradual economic recovery, improved external conditions, and stronger remittance inflows, though challenges remain. flag The sector’s performance is closely tied to sovereign stability, with half its assets in government securities, exposing banks to fiscal risks. flag While capital buffers are strong and inflation is easing, credit growth remains constrained by high borrowing costs and weak private-sector demand. flag Moody’s forecasts 3.5% GDP growth in 2026, following a 3.1% rise in 2025, but warns that sustained progress depends on structural reforms and prudent fiscal management.
