Policy rate hike unlikely in final FY26 review
The State Bank of Pakistan's Monetary Policy Committee is unlikely to raise the policy rate in its June 15 meeting due to eased Gulf tensions and stable oil prices. The only rate hike in FY26 occurred on April 27, but analysts note improved supply chain conditions and prospects for a US-Iran deal have reduced inflationary pressures.
