Pakistan’s inflation rate reached a historic low of 0.3% in April 2025

Pakistan’s inflation rate reached a historic low of 0.3% in April 2025, marking a significant drop from 0.7% in March, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. Monthly inflation also declined by 0.8%, helped by falling food and electricity prices.

Urban inflation fell to 0.5% year-on-year, while rural inflation saw a slight decrease of 0.1%. The average inflation for the first ten months of FY25 now stands at 4.73%, a major improvement from last year’s 25.97%.

Experts say this trend matches market expectations and may influence upcoming decisions by the State Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee. The policy rate is likely to remain at 12% for now.
