How often is GDP data updated?

The PBS releases quarterly national accounts; the Finance Ministry publishes the authoritative annual picture each June in the Economic Survey. IMF reviews add independent verification twice a year.

Is the $452 billion figure nominal or PPP?

Nominal (market exchange rates). On a purchasing-power-parity basis Pakistan’s economy is far larger — over $1.5 trillion — but nominal is the standard for rankings and debt ratios.
