Title: Pakistan Tax Policy Report: Tapping Tax Bases for Development
Abstract:Pakistan’s economic development is once again threatened by macroeconomic imbalances.  Broadly speaking, high growth in the 1960s was followed by low growth in the 1970s, and high growth in the 1980s by low growth in the 1990s, as macroeconomic vulnerabilities derailed development.  Supported by a favorable global environment, Pakistan returned to a strong development record for much of this decade.  Growth accelerated and fiscal and social indicators improved.  But as in the past, the gains proved unsustainable, as economic policies adjusted too little and too late to a deterioration in the external environment.  The looming crisis is threatening to undo much of the recent development
progress.
