According to official estimates, Pakistan has suffered a massive economic loss of Rs822 billion due to the 2025 floods, which affected more than 6.5 million people across 70 districts. Planning Ministry documents reveal that the country experienced one of the most severe monsoon seasons in its history, causing widespread damage to infrastructure, livelihoods, and essential services.
Initial damage estimates were revised from Rs744 billion to Rs822 billion, with the agriculture and infrastructure sectors hit the hardest.
The disaster claimed 1,037 lives and left 1,067 people injured. A total of 229,763 houses were damaged — out of which 59,258 were completely destroyed.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recorded the highest number of casualties with 509 deaths, followed by Punjab with 322 fatalities.
Officials reported that the worst impact was seen in the agriculture sector and rural infrastructure, especially in 27 flood-affected districts of Punjab, where overflowing rivers — Sutlej, Chenab, and Ravi — caused widespread devastation.
Relief efforts included 5,769 operations, during which over 3 million people were evacuated to safer areas. The government distributed Rs2 billion in compensation, giving Rs2 million to the families of each deceased victim.
On September 10, 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a high-level committee to oversee damage and needs assessments. Following the updated loss estimates, the government plans to launch the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA 2025) in partnership with development agencies to secure funding and technical support for recovery and reconstruction.
