From the streets of Karachi to the bazaars of Multan — a day in Pakistan.

A government official has said that Pakistan's economy likely grew two per cent in the fiscal year ending June, battered by the global recession and a Taliban insurgency.  Pakistan had targeted 4.5 per cent growth this year, but instead will report its worst-recorded GDP growth since the financial year 1997-98, when the State Bank of Pakistan put the rate at 1.9 per cent. Pakistan's economy has also been under huge inflationary pressure, which created a serious balance of payment crisis in November that forced the country to approach the International Monetary Fund for a 7.6-billion-dollar loan. — AFP Photo/Asif Hassan
