Inflation in Pakistan clocks in at 4.1% in July 2025
Headline Inflation YoY Headline Inflation YoY Pakistan's headline inflation clocked in at 4.1% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in July 2025, a reading higher than that of June 2025, when it had stood at 3.2%, showed Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) data on Friday. On a month-on-month basis, it increased by 2.9% in July 2025, as compared to an increase of 0.2% in the previous month and an increase of 2.1% in July 2024. CPI stood at 11.09% in July 2024. Inflation in Pakistan has been a significant and persistent economic challenge, particularly in recent years. In May 2023, the CPI inflation rate hit a record high of 38%. However, it has been on a downward trajectory since then. The CPI reading is in line with the government's expectations. The Finance Ministry in its monthly economic report expected inflation to ease to a range between 3.5-4.5% in July, citing stable prices and improved supply conditions, as price pressures ease further after the previous fiscal year's sharp decline. The ministry said the economy is expected to sustain its recovery in the early months of fiscal year 2026, underpinned by an improved macroeconomic backdrop and growing investor confidence. However, the latest CPI reading was higher than the projections made by several brokerage houses. Ismail Iqbal Securities projected Pakistan's headline inflation to lower to 3.1% in July. 'Inflation for Jul'25 is projected at 3.1%, a sharp decline from 11.1% in the same period last year, indicating continued easing in price pressures,' said the brokerage house. Urban, rural inflation The PBS said CPI inflation urban increased to 4.4% on year-on-year basis in July 2025, as compared to 3.0% in the previous month and 13.2% in July 2024. On a month-on-month basis, it increased by 3.4% in July 2025, as compared to 0.1% in the previous month and an increase of 2.0% in July 2024. CPI inflation rural increased by 3.5% on year-on-year basis in July 2025, as compared to an increase of 3.6% in the previous month and 8.1% in July 2024. On a month-on-month basis, it increased by 2.2% in July 2025, as compared to an increase of 0.5% in the previous month and an increase of 2.2% in July 2024.

IMF puts growth below govt target
Listen to article The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday projected Pakistan's economic growth rate at 3.6% for the current fiscal year, below the government's official target of 4.2%. The projection was released in the IMF's latest World Economic Outlook Update report which kept Pakistan's growth forecast unchanged. The government had set a higher growth goal based on expected recovery in agriculture and industrial sectors. However, the World Bank recently estimated that poverty in Pakistan affects nearly 45% of the population. Official data on poverty and unemployment is currently unavailable, though the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) is said to be updating relevant surveys. Due to outdated data, the provisional GDP growth rate of 2.7% for FY2024-25 has been disputed by independent economists. The PBS plans to release findings of the latest Agriculture Census next month, which may address some of these queries. On the same day, the federal government also briefed foreign diplomats on recent economic developments and sought support to increase foreign direct investment (FDI), which remains low. The diplomats raised concerns over rising debt costs, heavy reliance on costly commercial loans, tax relief measures, and the sustainability of the Power Division's plan to cut circular debt through Rs1.25 trillion in fresh domestic borrowing. Finance Minister of State Bilal Azhar Kayani and Power Minister Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari led the briefing for diplomats from the US, UK, EU, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia. According to a finance ministry press release, officials outlined reforms in taxation and the power sector. Kayani said Pakistan's macroeconomic strategy had shifted from stabilisation to sustained reform. He noted that GDP growth was 2.7% in FY2024-25, and per capita income increased by 10% to $1,824. However, this was based on old and relatively low population estimates. The finance ministry claimed a 3.1% primary surplus in GDP, the highest in 20 years, though it did not clarify in the press note whether this was for the full year or only the first 11 months. Inflation dropped to 4.5%, a nine-year low, while the central bank's policy rate was halved from 22% to 11%. The debt-to-GDP ratio also reportedly declined to 69%, indicating improved fiscal management. Diplomats asked how the government planned to reduce the high cost of external debt. Officials said that the strategy had already been finalised with both the IMF and the World Bank. The finance ministry said the external sector showed resilience, recording a $2.1 billion current account surplus, the first in 14 years and the highest in 22 years. This was supported by strong remittances, higher exports, rising FDI, and stable foreign reserves of over $14.5 billion. Officials claimed this performance was achieved without heavy reliance on foreign borrowing. However, the central bank purchased at least $7.3 billion from the local market between July and April, which kept the rupee artificially low. This sum exceeded the entire three-year size of the IMF bailout package. Diplomats were also told that two credit rating agencies had recently given Pakistan positive reviews, and Moody's is expected to upgrade the country soon. S&P upgraded Pakistan to 'B negative' last week, advising further political and security stability for continued progress. In the energy sector, Leghari told diplomats that significant milestones had been achieved, although questions remained over their long-term sustainability. He said the circular debt, now around Rs2.4 trillion, was being addressed under a plan agreed with the IMF. The government has secured Rs1.25 trillion in commercial loans to pay down a large portion of this debt. The repayment will be funded through a Rs3.24 per unit electricity surcharge, ultimately borne by consumers. Diplomats questioned whether this approach was sustainable. Leghari acknowledged structural problems such as high tariffs and inefficient pricing, which had made electricity unaffordable for households and industry. These issues had also created fiscal pressures. To address them, the government has undertaken broad-based reforms centred on tariff rationalisation, fiscal responsibility and operational improvement. Leghari said progress had been made in stabilising circular debt in FY2025. He also pointed out the need to modernise energy planning to account for seasonal demand shifts, regional supply gaps, and the rising role of distributed generation. Distribution company performance was another key focus. Leghari said infrastructure upgrades and strengthened governance were underway to reduce losses, with reforms implemented to ensure regional equity and institutional coordination. He called on foreign governments and global investors to invest in the energy sector, citing $2-3 billion in potential across grid modernisation, renewable energy, distribution efficiency, and energy services. He also noted that the government aims to privatise electricity distribution companies, with three companies being restructured for privatisation by early 2026. Chairman FBR, Rashid Langrial, briefed diplomats on the FBR Transformation Plan, built on three pillars: people, process, and technology. He claimed that real tax collection had increased by 46% due to improved compliance and enforcement. He also stated that the tax-to-GDP ratio rose to 10.24% in FY2025, up from 8.8% in FY2024. However, Pakistan still missed its IMF revenue target by 0.3% of GDP, despite levying record-high taxes last year.

Concerns voiced over ‘renewed' surge in inflation
LAHORE: The Businessmen Panel (BMP) has sounded the alarm over a renewed surge in inflation, warning that recent hikes in utility tariffs and food prices are intensifying pressure on already struggling households and industries. The caution follows the latest figures from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), which reported a 4.07 percent week-on-week increase in the Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI) for the week ending July 24, 2025. The increase, among the sharpest in recent weeks, was largely driven by a staggering 29.85 percent rise in gas charges and a 21.46 percent increase in electricity tariffs. Key food items such as tomatoes and eggs also saw notable hike of 22.93 percent and 3.96 percent, respectively. The lowest-income group, categorised as Q1 by PBS, was hit hardest, facing a 3.98 percent rise in their weekly cost of living. Mian Anjum Nisar responded to the data with serious concern, calling the current inflationary trend dangerous and unsustainable for both consumers and producers. He criticized the government's policy approach, saying that the burden of fiscal reforms and IMF commitments was being unfairly passed on to the public and private sectors without protective measures in place. He said the removal of energy subsidies and subsequent price shocks are driving both households and manufacturers to a breaking point. He said the absence of a comprehensive policy to shield vulnerable segments and support industrial production has created a dual crisis of rising living costs and shrinking economic activity. The surge in inflation, he added, is not just an economic indicator—it is a warning sign that the broader structure of the economy is under strain. Nisar linked the latest surge to international energy price movements, domestic gas and electricity tariff adjustments, and disruptions in food supply chains. He suggested that monthly inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July 2025 is likely to reach 3.3 percent year-on-year. The CPI is expected to reflect a 15 percent month-on-month increase in electricity tariffs and a 22.7 percent rise in gas prices, as the government normalizes administered prices in line with fiscal reforms. Anjum Nisar criticized this normalization process, stating that it ignores the realities on the ground. He said industries are being squeezed by high input costs, while consumers are struggling with the rapid erosion of purchasing power. He noted that food inflation, combined with utility price hikes, is making daily life unaffordable for large sections of the population. Meanwhile, the export sector continues to face setbacks due to rising costs, refund delays, and international demand slumps. He also expressed alarm over broader economic indicators. The country has witnessed a significant drop in exports, foreign direct investment, and remittances. At the same time, private sector borrowing is shrinking, and manufacturing activity has declined. He attributed these negative trends to policy instability, exchange rate volatility, and a lack of incentives for industrial revival. According to him, unless corrective steps are taken urgently, the country risks deeper stagflation. He said the recent inflation surge is not a one-time spike but part of a dangerous cycle rooted in structural imbalances. He stressed the need for agricultural reforms to stabilize the food supply chain, greater investment in storage and logistics, and improved coordination between federal and provincial authorities to manage market disruptions. Regarding the upcoming monetary policy announcement by the State Bank of Pakistan on July 30, Anjum Nisar urged a cautious and balanced approach. He said that while inflation control is essential, monetary tightening must not come at the cost of choking industrial activity. He called for targeted subsidies for low-income households and special energy pricing mechanisms for export-oriented industries and SMEs. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
