Punjab's 'Apni Chhat, Mehfooz Chhat' interest-free loan initiative has garnered over 37,000 applications shortly after launch, with total applicants surpassing 1.336 million. The scheme provides Rs500,000 to Rs1 million for home construction or repairs, with Rs226 billion already disbursed to 174,842 beneficiaries. Monthly installments are affordable, ranging from Rs4,700 to Rs9,300. This significant injection of funds into the provincial economy could stimulate demand and potentially contribute to inflationary pressures over time, which typically supports gold as a hedge and may influence PKR stability.
