Business circles disappointed over SBP rate pause
The business community in Pakistan expressed disappointment over the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) decision to maintain the policy rate at 11.5%, urging a rate cut to support industrial recovery, exports, and investment. Organizations like the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and others argued that the unchanged rate hampers economic growth and competitiveness.
