حکومت نے پالیسی ریٹ سے زیادہ ٹریژری بلوں پر منافع برقرار رکھا

The government's latest T-bill auction saw rates remain elevated, with 6-month T-bills at 12.39%, 89 basis points above the SBP's 11.5% policy rate. Investors, mainly banks, eagerly parked Rs685.5 billion in government papers due to limited domestic lending options and economic uncertainty. This heavy reliance on bank borrowing and rising domestic debt, coupled with a lack of private sector investment and rising poverty, signals ongoing economic challenges. The persistent high cost of government borrowing could pressure the Pakistani Rupee, potentially making gold a more attractive hedge for investors.
