اسٹیٹ بینک کی شرح سود پر نظرثانی، دوہرے ہندسے کی مہنگائی اور IMF کا دباؤ

The SBP's Monetary Policy Committee will convene on October 26 to assess the 11.5% policy rate, with concerns mounting over a potential hike as inflation remains in double digits, driven by rising international oil prices. Despite core inflation's resilience, the IMF urges an "appropriately tight policy stance" to curb inflation, which stood at 10.3% in September. This decision is crucial given the tenuous link between policy rate and inflation control in Pakistan, alongside growing data credibility concerns. A policy rate adjustment could impact USD/PKR stability and local gold prices, reflecting broader economic sentiment.
