State Bank Keeps Policy Rate Unchanged at 11.5%

Pakistan’s central bank has kept its key policy rate unchanged at 11.5%, maintaining its current monetary policy stance amid evolving economic conditions.

The decision follows a review of inflation, economic growth, and external sector developments, with policymakers opting to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged.

The central bank said the existing policy stance is aimed at supporting macroeconomic stability while ensuring inflation remains on a sustainable path.

Officials noted that future monetary policy decisions will continue to depend on incoming economic data and the overall domestic and global outlook.

The move has been closely watched by businesses, investors, and financial markets for its implications on borrowing costs, investment, and economic activity.

Analysts say the decision reflects a cautious approach by the central bank as it seeks to balance inflation control with support for economic recovery.
