Atlas Insurance Limited

Chairman's Review

It gives me great pleasure to present the un-audited accounts of your Company for the half year ended June 30, 2023.

The Economy

The country is going through a correction phase to address long-standing structural challenges. To address the challenges and sustain macroeconomic stability, the authorities have recently reached a 9-month Staff Level Agreement (SBA) with IMF. However, the nation looks forward to a long-term sustainable plan to ensure financing needs are met in the years ahead.

On the external front, policy tightening, and adoption of stabilization strategies has yielded positive results. The current account deficit (CAD) has narrowed by 85.4% to USD 2.6 billion in FY-23. The improvement in CAD was mainly driven through the reduction in the import bill from USD 80.1 billion to USD 55.3 billion. However, due to slowdown in global demand and an exchange rate peg, exports and workers' remittances declined by 14.1% and 13.6%, respectively. Despite positive development in CAD, foreign exchange reserves held by the Central Bank dipped below USD 5 billion for the first time in ten years. However, improvements are expected in the coming months with the receipt of bailout funds from IMF and substantial deposits from multilateral countries. The significant low level of forex reserves put extra ordinary pressure on the local currency, which breached the 285 per USD level. Accordingly, to maintain macroeconomic stability and regulate aggregate demand, the Central Bank increased the benchmark interest rate to 22%, representing 825 bps increase since July 2022. On the fiscal front, due to the slowdown in economic activity, revenue collection remained short of target. PKR 7,000 billion was collected against the projection of PKR 7,600 billion. Going forward, in order to narrow the fiscal deficit, the Government has recently passed Finance Act, 2023 which has imposed further taxes on targeted segments and withdrawal of certain tax credits. The KSE-100 index was also impacted by the ongoing economic challenges till June 2023. However, it remained resilient and improved significantly to over 48,000 points in August due to improving investor sentiment. Many other macroeconomic factors including energy tariff adjustments resulted in slow growth and increased inflation. The GDP was 0.3% in FY23 compared to 6.1% in FY22.

The agriculture sector recorded a growth of 1.6% in FY-23 as compared to 4.3% of last year. This is due to a heavy monsoon spell and floods which caused massive damage to the standing crops. To support the sector, the agriculture financial institutions disbursed PKR 1,222 billion as compared to PKR 958 billion last year. Further, with better input situation and water supply, Rabi crops performed better. This helped to improve farm incomes. As a result, demand for consumer durables remained stable in rural areas.

The Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM) index contracted by 9.9% in FY-23. The sector's contraction is mainly due to import restrictions, rupee devaluation, higher financing costs, expensive energy, and local economic and political instability. Resultantly, most demand indicators including sales of cement, POL, automobiles, and textiles reflected a downward trend. However, the recent development under SBA with IMF ensuring unrestricted import movement and uplifting of foreign reserves will support the industrial sector.
