How Important MSc Grade/GPA From Uni To Pursue Further Degree Such As MBA MPA Or Ph.D In Social sciences?

I recently received a final result for my MSc in Econ/Finance from top UK university. It is only pass, even though normally, a bit less than half of class get Pass. My question would be how is it important when I apply for a job or further degree(top MBA, MPA, Ph.D in non econ field)? I have solid undergrad GPA and nice full time offer from a reputable CO firm. Just worried that my "Pass" grade could be a bit ugly on my CV etc. Also, even though I don't need to pass, but I failed one class in a margin of one bloody point(49 not 50..)
