The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced it will unveil its monetary policy four times during the first half of this year.

The first meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee is set for January 27, during which members will assess both micro and macroeconomic indicators. Subsequent meetings are scheduled for March 10, May 5, and June 16.

Analysts predict a potential reduction in the policy rate by 2% to 3%, as inflation has recently dropped to 4.1%. Expectations are high that the policy rate could fall into single digits by June 30, reflecting a shift in economic conditions.
