The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) maintained its interest rate unchanged at 22% in line with market expectations!
State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on Monday announced the decision to maintain the status quo, leaving the key policy rate unchanged at 22%.
The Monetary Policy Committee’s decision was announced at 4:00 pm today at a Press Conference.
The key policy rate has been kept unchanged for the fifth time in a row in line with market expectations as high inflation persists due to the rise in energy prices.
SBP Governor Jameel Ahmad addressing the press conference in Karachi, stated that inflation remains elevated, necessitating an upward revision of the annual target to 23-25%.
The decision to keep the rate status quo is the last under the caretaker government before the country’s general election next month. It also comes amid Pakistan’s $3 billion Standby Arrangement (SBA) with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
