Pakistan\u2019s headline inflation clocked in at 3.2% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in June 2025, a reading lower than that of May 2025, when it had stood at 3.5%<\/a>, showed Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) data on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On month-on-month (MoM) basis, it increased by 0.2% in June 2025, as compared to a decrease of 0.2% in the previous month and an increase of 0.5% in June 2024.<\/p>\n

Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation average during FY25 stood at 4.49% as compared to 23.41% in FY24.<\/p>\n

Inflation in Pakistan has been a significant and persistent economic challenge, particularly in recent years. In May 2023, the CPI inflation rate hit a record high of 38%. However, it has been on a downward trajectory since then.<\/p>\n

The CPI reading is in line with the government\u2019s expectations.
\nThe Finance Ministry in its monthly economic report<\/a> expected inflation to ease to a range between 3-4% in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the external front, higher remittances and exports will continue to keep the current account in surplus for FY 2025,\u201d read the monthly outlook.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Economic Survey 2024-25 noted that inflation is projected to remain within the range of 4.5-5% during FY25<\/a>, supported by a sharp decline in the prices of perishable food items and adequate stocks of key non-perishable commodities.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the latest CPI reading was also in line with the projections made by several brokerage houses.<\/p>\n

JS Global projected Pakistan\u2019s<\/a> headline inflation to lower to 3.1% in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing a 3.5% YoY reading in May 2025, the CPI is expected to be at 3.1% YoY in June 2025. The base effect is now fading, signalling a return to normalised price trends,\u201d said JS Global.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Insight Securities, another brokerage house, expected headline inflation to clock in at 3.2% in June.<\/p>\n

Urban, rural inflation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PBS said CPI inflation urban decreased to 3% on year-on-year basis in June 2025, as compared to 3.5% of the previous month and 14.9% in June 2024.<\/p>\n

On month-on-month basis, it remained stable at 0.1% in June 2025, as compared to 0.1% in the previous month and 0.6% in June 2024.<\/p>\n

CPI inflation rural increased by 3.6% on year-on-year basis in June 2025, as compared to an increase of 3.4% in the previous month and 9.3% in June 2024.<\/p>\n

On month-on-month basis, it increased by 0.5% in June 2025, as compared to a decrease of 0.5% in the previous month and an increase of 0.3% in June 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pakistan\u2019s headline inflation clocked in at 3.2% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in June 2025, a reading lower…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[64,13324,26053,79,26049,26052,26048,26054,23967,26051,67,132,26050,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-30537","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-cpi","10":"tag-cpi-inflation","11":"tag-economy","12":"tag-headline-inflation","13":"tag-inflation-in-pakistan","14":"tag-pakistan-cpi","15":"tag-pakistan-economy","16":"tag-pbs","17":"tag-rural-inflation","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-urban-inflation","21":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114779417253399692","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
