Pakistan's central bank raises policy rate to 12% amid rising economic risks

پاکستان کے مرکزی بینک نے شرح سود بڑھا کر 12 فیصد کر دی

पाकिस्तान के केंद्रीय बैंक ने नीति दर बढ़ाकर 12% कर दी

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • The State Bank of Pakistan has raised its key policy rate by 50 basis points to 12 percent, its first increase since April.
  • Nine of the ten members of the Monetary Policy Committee backed the move, which took effect on October 27.
  • The bank blamed the intensifying Middle East conflict and persistently high global energy prices, which have pushed inflation to 10.3 percent in September, above what it had expected.
  • اسٹیٹ بینک آف پاکستان نے اپنی بنیادی شرح سود میں 50 بیسز پوائنٹس کا اضافہ کر کے اسے 12 فیصد کر دیا ہے، جو اپریل کے بعد پہلا اضافہ ہے۔ مانیٹری پالیسی کمیٹی کے دس میں سے نو ارکان نے اس فیصلے کی حمایت کی، جو 27 اکتوبر سے نافذ ہوا۔ بینک نے مشرق وسطیٰ میں کشیدگی اور عالمی توانائی کی مسلسل بلند قیمتوں کو وجہ بتایا، جن کی وجہ سے ستمبر میں مہنگائی 10.3 فیصد تک پہنچ گئی جو توقع سے زیادہ ہے۔ بینک کا کہنا ہے کہ یہ اضافہ مہنگائی کی توقعات کو قابو میں رکھنے اور مہنگائی کو 5 سے 7 فیصد کے ہدف میں واپس لانے کے لیے ضروری تھا، جبکہ سال کے لیے ترقی کا تخمینہ 3.5 سے 4.5 فیصد برقرار رکھا گیا ہے۔
  • पाकिस्तान के स्टेट बैंक ने अपनी प्रमुख नीति दर में 50 आधार अंक की वृद्धि करके इसे 12 प्रतिशत कर दिया है, जो अप्रैल के बाद पहली बढ़ोतरी है। मौद्रिक नीति समिति के दस में से नौ सदस्यों ने इस फैसले का समर्थन किया, जो 27 अक्टूबर से लागू हुआ। बैंक ने मध्य पूर्व में बढ़ते संघर्ष और वैश्विक ऊर्जा की लगातार ऊंची कीमतों को कारण बताया, जिनसे सितंबर में महंगाई 10.3 प्रतिशत तक पहुंच गई, जो उम्मीद से अधिक है। बैंक ने कहा कि यह बढ़ोतरी महंगाई की उम्मीदों को नियंत्रित रखने और महंगाई को 5 से 7 प्रतिशत के लक्ष्य दायरे में वापस लाने के लिए जरूरी थी, जबकि साल के लिए विकास का अनुमान 3.5 से 4.5 प्रतिशत पर बरकरार रखा गया है।

The State Bank of Pakistan has raised its key policy rate by 50 basis points to 12 percent, its first increase since April. Nine of the ten members of the Monetary Policy Committee backed the move, which took effect on October 27. The bank blamed the intensifying Middle East conflict and persistently high global energy prices, which have pushed inflation to 10.3 percent in September, above what it had expected. It said the hike was needed to keep inflation expectations anchored and bring inflation back within its 5 to 7 percent target range, while keeping its growth forecast for the year at 3.5 to 4.5 percent.
