October 22, 2025
|Gulf Today

"Oil exporters have benefited from higher oil output following the faster unwinding of Opec+ cuts. Oil importers and Pakistan have gained from low energy prices, strong remittances, and a vibrant tourism sector, all supporting domestic demand.
Looking ahead, growth is expected to rise to 3.7 per cent in 2026, while inflation should remain moderate, helped by lower food and energy prices and tight monetary policies," Jihad Azour, Director of the Middle East and Central Asia Department at IMF, told a press briefing about the latest economic outlook for the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) on the sidelines of the 2025 Annual Meetings.
