This research focuses on determining factors that influence the growth of technological progress in Pakistan's manufacturing sector. The Solow residual, which measures technological change, has been calculated using a growth accounting framework. Additionally, it evaluates the extent of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in relation to macroeconomic variables, including technology transfer, the financial sector, human capital, development expenditure, and trade openness. The empirical model finding indicates that two key elements investing in human capital and enhancing employee skills alongside effective skill matching are crucial for boosting manufacturing growth. Furthermore, the empirical model suggests, other significant factors that support TFP, such as trade openness, financial development, and increased development expenditure, which align with the Keynesian view that development expenditure is essential for economic advancement. This paper emphasizes the importance of targeted investment in human and technological capital, alongside appropriate macroeconomic policies, to enhance manufacturing productivity in Pakistan.
