Pakistan's GDP can be counted here by taking different components of GDP. We can calculate the GDP from expenditure side.

From expenditure side GDP = C + I + G + NX

Where C is private consumption and here value of C is given in the data is 11.20 trillions of rupees.

I is private investment expenditure and here data of investment expenditure is 1.45 trillions of rupees.

G is government expenditure or government spending and here in the data G is 2.50 trillions of rupees.

NX is net exports which is equal to export minus import i.e NX = X - M, X is export, M is import. Here, export is 1.26 trillions of rupees and import is 2.28 trillions of rupees. Therefore NX = 1.26 - 2.28 = -1.02 trillions of rupees.

GDP = C + I + G + NX

GDP = 11.20 + 1.45 + 2.50 + (-1.02) trillions of rupees

GDP = 11.20 + 1.45 + 2.50 - 1.02 trillions of rupees

GDP = 14.13 trillions of rupees.

Therefore, Pakistan's GDP = 14.13 trillions of rupees.

Note: Here foreigners purchase of Pakistani firms will not be included in GDP because it is a capital inflow not any goods and services produced in the economy.

Savings we also do not take into account when we calculate GDP from expenditure side. Savings are invested through different ways.
