Muhammad Jamil, Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, forecasts that the inflation rate for this fiscal year will stabilize at 11.5%. He also expects the current account deficit to range between 0 and 1 percent.

In the recent media statement, Governor Jamil underscored the government’s rigorous economic policies that paved the way for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan agreement. He is optimistic about receiving over $1 billion as the first instalment from the IMF.

Governor Jamil also predicted the economic growth rate to hover between 2.5% and 3.5% for the year. He stressed that the government’s disciplined financial strategy is crucial for maintaining economic stability and attracting foreign investment.

In a significant advancement, the IMF Executive Board approved a $7 billion bailout for Pakistan, designed to last 37 months. The first instalment is expected by September 30. This aid marks critical support for Pakistan, easing the burden of external payments and bolstering economic reforms.

In conclusion, Governor Jamil reassured that the administration is dedicated to effectively using IMF funds to promote sustainable economic growth and stability in Pakistan. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between the government and international financial bodies in strengthening Pakistan’s economic resilience and supporting long-term development.

Key Highlights:

  • Inflation Rate: Expected at 11.5% for the current fiscal year.
  • Current Account Deficit: Estimated to remain between 0-1%.
