کاروباری رہنماؤں نے شرح سود میں 50 بیسس پوائنٹس اضافے پر تنقید کی

Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) President Talat Mahmood and other trade bodies have criticised the State Bank of Pakistan's move to increase the policy interest rate from 11.5% to 12%. They argue the hike will escalate the cost of doing business, deter private investment, and hinder economic growth, attributing inflation largely to energy prices and supply disruptions, not excessive demand. Business leaders warn that higher borrowing costs will weaken industrial competitiveness and make expansion difficult. This SBP policy tightening could support the Pakistani Rupee in the short term, potentially moderating local gold price increases, but may also signal economic slowdown concerns.
