The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) announced a one percent reduction in the interest rate on Monday, bringing it down to 19.5 percent. This decision was revealed by SBP Governor Jameel Ahmad during a media briefing after the monetary policy meeting.

Ahmad noted that inflation is gradually decreasing and the country’s economy is on the path to recovery. As a result, the monetary policy committee decided to reduce the interest rate by 100 basis points to support economic growth.
