Pakistan's Oct 2026 Inflation Projected 9.5-10.5%; FY27 Outlook Promising

Pakistan’s finance ministry projects headline inflation for October 2026 in the range of 9.5% to 10.5%, following 10.3% in September. The economic outlook for FY27 is deemed promising, driven by improving crop prospects, manufacturing, construction, and expanding external earnings. Macroeconomic stability was consolidated in Q1 FY27 due to stronger external inflows, successful Eurobond issuance, higher FDI, and robust remittances, which also contributed to a stable rupee. Continued macroeconomic stability and a stable rupee could temper local gold demand as an inflation hedge, while supporting the PKR against the USD.
