Central bank keeps policy rate unchanged at 11.5pc
The State Bank of Pakistan maintained the policy rate at 11.5 per cent during its final policy review of FY26. The previous rate increase occurred on April 27, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Gulf, but analysts now note stabilized oil prices and improved supply chain conditions as reasons for keeping rates unchanged.
