Pakistan's services value added has shown a mixed trajectory over the past six and a half decades, with a notable peak in 2008 when it reached 56.22 of the country's GDP. This figure represents the highest services sector contribution to the country's economy since the inception of the indicator in 1960. Conversely, the trough occurred in 1964 with a value of 35.51, indicating a lowpoint in the services sector's contribution to the economy. Although Pakistan's services value added has experienced fluctuations, the latest figure of 49.84 (2025) positions the country at the 135th rank globally. Comparatively, countries like Bahrain, which ranked similarly, have maintained a relatively stable contribution from the services sector. A continued shift in Pakistan's economic policies towards promoting industries such as IT and tourism could potentially alter the trajectory of services value added in the country.
