Key takeaways
Provisional official figures show modest year-on-year growth in large-scale manufacturing during the first two months of FY27.
What happened
The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics reports 1.85% year-on-year growth in its large-scale manufacturing index for July–August 2026. Business Recorder and Profit by Pakistan Today also reported the figure from the provisional release. Sector results were mixed, so the aggregate increase does not mean every industry expanded.
Why it matters
Factory output is one indicator of economic activity, jobs and demand, but early figures can be revised.
What to watch
Watch upcoming monthly releases and revisions, especially whether growth broadens across sectors. The two-month figure is not a full-year forecast.
