Pakistan’s economy grew by 2.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, accelerating from 1.5% in the previous quarter and marking the strongest growth in three quarters. The expansion was largely driven by the services sector, which rose 4% (vs 2.6% in Q4), led by gains in wholesale and retail trade (1.6% vs -1%), ICT (18.4% vs 8.7%), and public administration (13.7% vs 9.3%). The agriculture sector also saw improved growth of 1.2% (vs 0.8%), mainly supported by higher forestry output (4.3% vs 3.2%). In contrast, the industrial sector remained weak, shrinking 1.1% (vs -1% previously), as a deeper contraction in mining and quarrying (-4% vs -2.3%) offset stronger manufacturing growth (1.6% vs 0.8%).

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury advanced to around 4.51% on Wednesday, rising for the second consecutive day, with investors focused on US economic and fiscal concerns as Congress debated a bill for sweeping tax cuts. Investors worry that the bill will lead to the US budget deficit growing at a faster pace than previously expected. Moody's downgraded the US credit rating late on Friday also fanned concerns about the country's debt load. Additionally, Federal officials on Tuesday doubled down on their concerns about the impact of the Trump administration's trade policies on the economy, with St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem warning of a weakening labor market and rising prices, while Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack cautioned about potential stagflation.

New Zealand’s Finance Minister Nicola Willis is set to deliver the 2025 budget on Thursday, her second annual budget outlining the government’s spending plans. Willis has signaled a very tight budget amid continued global economic challenges. Still, capital expenditure will be higher than initially forecast, with $6.8 billion allocated primarily to health, education, defense, and transport. Meanwhile, the government is halving its operating allowance—from $2.4 billion to $1.3 billion—with only a limited number of departments receiving additional funding. The government also decided against introducing a new compensation scheme for survivors of state care abuse, opting instead to strengthen the existing framework. A key feature of the budget is a new $190 million Social Investment Fund aimed at improving how social services are delivered to vulnerable populations. Additionally, $164 million over four years will go toward expanding urgent and after-hours healthcare services.

New Zealand to Unveil Tight 2025 Budget Amid Global Uncertainty

The U.S. Commerce Department has preliminarily determined that Chinese producers of key battery materials, such as graphite and silicon used in EV anodes, have received unfair subsidies—setting the stage for potential anti-subsidy duties. U.S. graphite producers, among the petitioners, argued that China’s massive state support has distorted prices and harmed their competitiveness. The Commerce Department found subsidies worth up to 721%, prompting preliminary duties announced on May 20. A separate investigation into alleged unfair pricing still ongoing and final rulings are expected later this year. The potential tariffs could raise costs for U.S.-made EVs, especially as a Republican tax proposal threatens to remove consumer credits. These trade actions are separate from Trump-era tariffs and new levies planned on other goods like semiconductors and pharmaceuticals.
