Here are the latest estimates of Pakistan’s poverty rate (2025–early 2026 data):

📊 Current Poverty Estimates

1. World Bank international poverty line estimates:

• Using the updated global poverty threshold for lower-middle-income countries of $4.20 per person per day, about 44.7% of Pakistan’s population is considered to be living below the poverty line. This update reflects the World Bank’s revised global poverty lines and not a sudden change in living conditions. english.aaj.tv

1. Traditional international benchmark ($3.65/day):

• On the earlier international poverty line of $3.65 per day, the rate was previously around 39.8% — showing how measurement changes affect the figure. thenews.com.pk

1. National poverty figures (World Bank report):

• Pakistan’s official national poverty rate based on its own standard was reported at approximately 25.3% in the 2024–2025 period. This indicator is often lower than the international benchmark because it reflects domestic poverty definitions and cost of living. Daily Pakistan English News

📌 Summary

• ~44–45% of Pakistan’s population currently falls below the global poverty line using the updated World Bank threshold ($4.20/day). english.aaj.tv
• ~25% of the population is estimated below Pakistan’s national poverty line. Daily Pakistan English News

These figures highlight that the poverty rate depends heavily on the poverty measurement standard used — international comparisons versus national thresholds. 📉
