This study examines the Impact of Pakistan economic growth and development from past 3
years. Available literature review shows both negative and positive impacts of development.
Including various cross-country thinks about has appeared positive relationship between trade
openness and financial development. The changing global condition in fund, HR, innovation,
legislative issues, financial matters, and social conditions has made open doors for the
entrepreneur’s ventures to extend their worldwide organizations at a lot quicker pace. Its
effect on system will be significant, yet additionally uncertain. Common clash and
psychological warfare utilizing weapons of mass demolition are among the new dangers that
can puzzle customary apparatuses of system. Echinococcus multilocularis, the reason for
human alveolar echinococcosis, has been accounted for in a few new nations both in
conclusive hosts due to globalization. By analyzing Pakistan’s per capita income, performance
of economy, sector contribution in GDP, real GDP growth.
Pakistan’s economy continues to perform impressively and its economic fundamentals have
gained further traction in the fiscal year 2016-17. After the elections of 2013 when the
previous government came into power it particularly focused on the revival of the economy
and within a short period of time it achieved considerable gains in restoring economic stability.
Pakistan likewise endeavored to incorporate its economy in the worldwide economy through
changing its speculation and exchange routine inside the structure of the IMF and the World
Bank. A survey of writing demonstrates that in spite of the fact that various cross-country
examines have appeared positive relationship between trade openness and monetary
development. As being
an agriculture country
they mainly focused in
this sector and
introduced more job
opportunities.
Throughout the most
recent four decades,
the structure of
Pakistan's GDP has
experienced extensive
change as the offer of
administrations division in GDP has expanded. The legislature stayed submitted in giving
business well-disposed condition so as to attract foreign investment interest in the nation,

services sector kept up the development force.

2. Manufacturing and Mining: -During July-February FY 2018, the Large Scale
Manufacturing (LSM) registered a growth of 6.24 percent as compared to 4.40 percent
in the same period last year. On Year on Year (YoY), LSM recorded a growth of 5.52
percent in February 2018 compared to 9.47 percent in February 2017.
INFLATION: - During current fiscal year FY 2018, CPI increased to 4.6 percent which was the
highest since the start of current fiscal year FY 2018, in January 2018 it was came down to 4.4
percent and in March 2018, it fell eight month low at 3.2 percent on account of subdued food
prices which offset the impact of rise of petroleum prices.
Pakistan’s political and economic management history, fiscal year 2018-19 represents a break
from the past. People of Pakistan voted into power a new party – Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf
(PTI) – mainly as it was seen to provide a transparent, more efficient government with a more
egalitarian development agenda. However so far they are badly failed to do so. The present
government inherited a weakening economy. The fiscal deficit was high, the current account
deficit was also at the highest level in country’s economic history, debt liabilities had risen to a
level where servicing of the debt took a sizeable portion of the federal government’s budget,
and foreign exchange reserves had depleted to a level that was insufficient to finance even
two months of imports. This instability was a result of structural weaknesses in the economy.
Some proofs of weak governance are being seen by various sectors of the economy. However
the new elected government faces formidable macroeconomic challenges. The foremost
challenge to the economy is the rising aggregate demand without corresponding resources to
support it, leading to rising fiscal and external account deficits.
Few good aspects are also taken place like wise as a short-term measure to get a breathing
space; the current government secured $ 9.2 billion from friendly countries to build up buffers
and to ensure timely repayment of previous loans.
The outgone fiscal year 2018-19 witnessed a muted growth of 3.29 percent against the
ambitious target of 6.2 percent. The target was based upon sectorial growth projections as
previous government have forecasted due to do good establishment policies, for agriculture,
industry, and services at 3.8 percent, 7.6 percent and 6.5 percent respectively. The actual
sectorial growth turned out to be 0.85 percent for agriculture, 1.4 percent for industry and 4.7
percent for services. Some of the major crops witnessed negative growth as production of
cotton, rice and sugarcane declined by 17.5 percent, 3.3 percent and 19.4 percent
respectively. The crops showing positive growth include wheat and maize which
6
Grew at the rate of 0.5 percent and 6.9 percent respectively. Other crops have shown
growth of 1.95 percent
Growth and Investment: -
The provisional GDP growth rate for FY2019 is estimated at 3.29 percent. Various departments
have grown accordingly as explained below. However it is yet being confirmed that Pakistan
economy is facing a hard times. Though if we compare to the first year of Nawaz Government
with the first year of Imran’s Government the huge difference would be seen in terms of
success.
1. Agriculture: -The provisional agriculture sector growth is estimated at 0.85 percent. The
crops sector has witnessed negative growth of 4.4 percent during FY2019 mainly due to
negative growth (-6.6 percent) of important crops. Moreover Production of cotton and
sugarcane the two very important cash crops were also declined.
2. Industry: - During FY2019, the provisional growth in industrial sector has been
estimated at only 1.40 percent mainly due to decline by 2.06 percent in large scale
manufacturing sector and by 1.96 percent in mining and quarrying sector. The decline
was faced because many companies have been shut down and the FDI (foreign Direct
Investment) was also effected due to bad governance.
3. Investment: -The provisional estimates of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) for the
year FY2019 stands at Rs.5340.0 billion with a growth of 1.9 percent. In private sector,
the GFCF is estimated at Rs.3796.1 billion during FY2019 against Rs.3564.0 billion in
FY2018 with an increase of 6.5 percent, while in Public Sector GFCF posted a growth of
9.8 percent as it is estimated at Rs.345.3 billion during FY2019 against Rs.314.6 billion
during FY2018.
Industry Analysis:-
The cement industry is important for the economy. Besides making a direct contribution of 7.5
percent to large-scale manufacturing, the industry influences growth in the allied segments
(e.g., steel; chemicals, wood etc). At present, there are 24 manufacturing units operating in
the country with a total installed annual capacity of 49.4 million tons.1 The industry operates
in two separate zones - North and South - with Northern Zone representing around 80 percent
of the total production capacity and sales.2 The manufacturers in the South Zone have more
room for revenue diversification as they can tap a number of export markets (via sea).3 The
export potential for manufacturers in the Northern Zone, however, is limited to Afghanistan
and India only. The cement industry is experiencing a bulk transformation, as a number of
cement industrialist are planning capacity expansions. There are 24 manufacturing units
7
operating in the country with a total installed annual capacity of 49.4 million tons.
About 3 million tons capacity has already been added during fiscal year 2018. It is predicted
that in aggregate terms, the cement sector production capacity will increase by about 50
percent in the next couple of years. The SBP estimated that additional capacity would result in
the imports of machinery of around about Rs 178 billion over next few years. In the cement
industry, cost of machinery imports comes around 70 percent of total cost of the project.
Cement industry in Pakistan grew by 13.84% to 45.89 million tons during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018 in comparison to 40.32 million tons during last year. While local sales volume
registered a growth of 15.42% to 41.15 million tons during the current fiscal year in
comparison to 35.65 million tons last year; export sales volume registered an increase of
1.77% to 4.75 million tons during the current fiscal year under review as compared to 4.66
million tons last year. The industry fared better owing to higher infrastructure demand and
real estate construction activities. Sufficient capacities in the South zone are also expected to
support export growth. The domestic demand in South Zone, where your Company is situated,
stood at 7.18 million tons, i.e., a growth of 10.26% over the prior year. Concurrently, the
export demand increased to 1.66 million tons, as against 1.51 million tons in the prior year, an
increase of 10.03%. As a result, the South Zone closed at a total dispatch of 8.84 million tons.
In contrast, the North Zone’s domestic demand in the current year grew by 16.57% and export
demand for the same year declined by 2.20%. As a result, the net growth of North Zone was
recorded at 14.74%.

INVENTORY TURNOVER:
The analysis shows that from 2015 to 2018, the inventory turnover trend of power cement has
fluctuated between 5 to 6 times a years. In 2018 Power cement converts its inventory into cost of goods sold
on an average of 6.4 times a year. In 2018 inventory turnover decreased from 19.94 to 14.39. During the year
2017, the inventory turnover has decreased from 25.08 times a year in 2016 to 19.94 times a year. The
analysis shows that the reason for this decrease is the 16% increase in cost of goods sold from last year. The
increase in COGS occurred due to increase in during the fiscal year 2017-18 under review, the increase in cost
of sales was mainly attributable to increase in coal, packing material and fuel prices.

Average 4.45 6.5 8.2
The analysis shows that the industry average has fluctuated between 8 to 4 times a years, thus power
cement is managing its operations well because the company’s turnover is greater than the industry.

Attock Cement 80 87 79.5
Power Cement 57 25 18
Lucky Cement 116 113 120
The analysis of the industry shows that power cement is managing its operations well since the industry
takes more days to convert its inventory into COGS.
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER:
The analysis shows that power cement has a decreasing trend for recovering its trade debts. In the
year 2016 and 2017, the receivable turnover revolved around 10 to 9 times. In the year 2018, the receivable
turn over dropped to 6 times because of the company’s increase in the average collection period. A decline in
the receivable turnover normally implies a lower liquidity for the company. While the company liquidity is at
good position. In the year 2017 and 2018, power cement has also increased its short-term borrowings to 104%
and 90% compared to previous years, on which the company will also pay interest. Hence, this also
contributed in the lower liquidity.

Average 15.43 19.33 24.315
The industry analysis shows that the industry collects its receivables on an average of 15 to 84 times a year
whereas power cement collects its receivables on an average of 6 to 9 times a year. The difference is due to
power cement’s credit policy.
The industry analysis shows that power cement has no strict credit policy because on an average the
industry takes around 17 to 20 days to recover the credit whereas power cement offers an average
collection period of 36 days to recover its debt.
18
Average 3.5 1.23 9
The industry analysis reveals that the average net working capital of the industry has been 3 to 9throughout
the past five years. This reflects that the company is not efficiently investing the extensive loans it has taken
because the company’s liabilities have exceeded its assets as shown by the negative net working capital in
the last five years.
The industry analysis shows that power cement is lagging behind the industry because the industry had an
average fixed asset turnover of Rs.1 against Re.1 worth of investment during the same years.
19
The industry analysis shows that power cement’s total asset turnover was higher than that of
industry. Particularly in the year 2016 & 2017, it had been more than the industry average. This reflects the
fact that the company had managed its total assets efficiently in the last five years.

CURRENT RATIO:
The current ratio of power cement has shown a declining trend between the years 2017 to 2018
because the company’s current liabilities have increased by 47% while current assets have been decreased by
240%.
The decline prominently occurred because the company’s current liabilities have kept increasing during the
past 5 years. The company’s short-term borrowings have shown a hefty increase of 90% from the year 2017 to
2018. The analysis shows that on an average, the company has 1.4 Rs. to pay off 1Rupee worth of liability,
which is not bad but if we compare it with year 2017 it shows that it has decreased over the year.

power cement’s current assets were managed well as they were enough to pay off the company’s current
liabilities.
QUICK RATIO:

The analysis of the quick ratio from year 2015 to 2018 shows that the liquidity of the company
has gone down but the difference is not huge. But it shows that company has enough liquid assets. The
declining quick ratio trend over a year suggests that on an average, the company has 1.34Rs. Worth of current
assets to pay off 1Re. worth of its current liabilities. The reason is their current assets have been decreased
over a year.

The industry analysis shows that the industry’s quick ratio was lower than that of power cement. This
reveals that power cement had a lower proportion of non-liquid current assets than it requires the company
to align with industry’s level of quick ratio.
CASH RATIO:
The analysis of the cash ratio of power cement shows that the company’s liquidity position is
improving. Because between the years 2015 to 2018, the company current ratio has increased from 0.0 to 0.3.
But still it need to be improved .Currently company has an average of 0.3 Rs. to pay off 1 Re. of its current
liabilities. As stated above, the current and quick ratio was comparatively higher than the cash ratio. This
situation suggests that power cement has a very high ratio of least liquid assets, which is not desirable for a
company, as it would not enable it to pay off its current liabilities.

ratio was 68.9% and currently in 2018 it is 54%.But if we compare it with previous year 2017 it shows that debt
to asset ratio has been increased. From the year 2015 to 2017, the ratio kept declining but in the year 2018,
the ratio increased to 54% from 26% in 2017. The company increased its long-term liability to 924% followed
by a 90% in short-term borrowings (compared to the previous years). The Company has embarked upon a
brown-field expansion of its production facilities at its Existing site by adding a new line of 7,700 tons per day
(2.5 million tons per annum), taking the Total capacity to around 3.4 million tons per annum. The expansion
project is environmentally friendly and will meet IFC and World Bank standards. After successful
commissioning of this Project, power Cement Company is poised to become the second-largest, and one of
the most Cost-efficient, cement producers in the South Region. In this way they will decrease their cost.
Due to the above-mentioned reasons, power cement debt-to-asset ratio showed a considerable increase in
the year 2018 i.e. 54% of the company’s assets are now financed through its interest bearing liabilities.
