This is a list of provinces of Pakistan by their gross state product (GSP) (the value of the total economy, and goods and services produced in the respective province) in nominal terms. GSP is the provincial-level counterpart of the national gross domestic product (GDP), the most comprehensive measure of a country's economic activity.

Dynamics

Pakistan, as of 2019, had a gross domestic product (GDP) of $284.214 billion US$. This value can be further divided into the provincial levels (GSP), providing an outlook of how much value each province contributes to the national GDP. Pakistan has traditionally followed a "top-down" approach in its analysis of economic development; that is, authorities have scarcely attempted to break up national GDP statistics into provincial and subnational units and have focused more on the federation as a whole. Thus, many accounts of provincial GDPs that do exist have usually been projected estimates made by economists, based on the likely percentage of contribution of the respective province to the national GDP and some yearly studies.

As of 2010, Punjab had the largest economy in Pakistan (contributing 57% to Pakistan's GDP), followed by Sindh (27.5%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (8%) and Balochistan (3%). Islamabad, the capital entity, contributes 1%; while FATA contribute 1.5%.[1]

Punjab, which is the largest province in terms of population, dominates other provinces in contributing to the national economy. As of 2017, Punjab had a GDP of $173 billion[2] which has steadily continued to grow. It is featured well within the list of country subdivisions with a GDP over $100 billion. Sindh's GDP with 83 billion is to a large extent influenced by the economy of Karachi, its capital and Pakistan's largest city.

As per 2018, Provincial share in total Tax Collection in Pakistan are Punjab 48%, Sindh 27%, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 17%, Balochistan 8%.
