Pakistan's Inflation Hits a Record Low in February 2025
In February 2025, Pakistan's Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation dropped to 1.5%, the lowest level since 2015.
This significant decline was driven by a high base effect from last year and a sharp fall in food prices.
State Bank's Decision
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had reduced interest rates from 22% in 2024 to 12% by early 2025. However, in March 2025, SBP decided to pause further cuts due to persistent economic risks.
Economic Outlook
Experts predict that if industrial production and agriculture improve, GDP growth could range between 2.5% and 3.5%.
