پاکستانی نجی شعبے نے کم سرمایہ کاری کے باعث 91.8 ارب روپے کا قرض واپس کیا

State Bank of Pakistan data shows businesses repaid Rs91.8 billion in debt from July 1 to October 9, FY27, compared to Rs31.7 billion last year, indicating a lack of appetite for new financing. This trend highlights weak investment activity, which could constrain economic growth, following a 3.7% growth rate in FY26 deemed insufficient for job creation and poverty reduction. Only Islamic banking branches recorded net lending, while conventional banks saw significant debt retirement. This continued economic uncertainty and weak private sector confidence could exert downward pressure on the Pakistani Rupee, potentially increasing local demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
