Services Sector Contribution to GDP in Pakistan (1990-2022)

Pakistan’s services sector contribution increased from 43.4% in 1990 to over 53% in the early 2000s, driven by banking, retail, and communications expansion. A sharp rise in 2000, with a contribution of 52.1%, aligns with reforms improving service delivery and investment in telecommunications. Subsequent years saw fluctuations due to economic and political challenges, yet the sector consistently contributed over 50% from 2007 onward. The sector's steady share of around 52-53% from 2010 to 2022 highlights its role in employment and urbanization, although external pressures such as inflation and energy shortages affected growth.
