Pakistan Economy: Aug’25 CPI likely to clock in at 4.1% - By Insight Research

Aug 29 2025


Insight Securities


  • Headline inflation is estimated at ~4.1% for Aug’25, compared to ~9.6% in SPLY and ~4.1% in preceding month. On MoM basis, inflation is expected to inch up by ~0.4%, amid increase in prices of food items the impact of which has been negated by lower electricity charges and decline in LPG price.
  • Within the SPI basket, items that recorded significant increase in prices during the period are as follows, Tomato (38.8↑%), Onions (21.5↑%), Eggs (9.9%↑), Fresh vegetables (4.0%↑) & Wheat (4.0%↑). On the flip side, prices of the following items eased off during the month, Fresh fruits (9.9%↓), LPG (9.8%↓), Potato (5.1%↓), Pulse moong (4.6%↓) & Sugar (4.1%↓).
  • We anticipate that the SBP will keep the policy rate unchanged in upcoming MPC, as the full impact of cumulative 1,100bps reduction in policy rate is still unfolding. The real sector remains in recovery mode following the strain of elevated inflation and sharp currency depreciation, both of which eroded purchasing power of masses. Furthermore, central bank’s tone in the last MPC suggested a pause for now, which will provide clarity to the market and encourage credit offtake in the coming months, given that no immediate cut in borrowing costs is expected. Hence, it appears prudent to maintain the policy rate at its current level and wait for the steep decline in interest rates to translate into real economic activity.

Aug 26 2025


Taurus Securities


  • Headline inflation for the month of Aug’25 is expected to clock-in at 4.3%YoY/0.7%MoM—highest reading since Nov’24, taking the FY26 TD NCPI to 4.2%YoY, on account of: i) surge in food prices mainly; and ii) a relatively lower base from the SPLY. Stickiness in certain core segments is also likely to put pressure on NCPI.
  • We anticipate food prices (35% weightage) to increase ~2%MoM, largely driven by supply-side factors owing to the monsoon floods in the country. Wherein, prices have soared for vegetables like Onions and Tomatoes by 22%MoM and 28%MoM, respectively.

Aug 22 2025


Taurus Securities


  • Power generation in Jul’25 stood at 14,123GWh, down 5%YoY but up 3%MoM, continuing the seasonal momentum from June.  Higher temperatures and peak summer demand fueled this recovery, with July recording the highest monthly output in FY25, surpassing June’s generation of 14,123GWh.

Aug 22 2025


Taurus Securities


  • In Jul’25, textile exports increased by 32%YoY arriving at USD 1.7Bn as compared to USD 1.3Bn in the SPLY.

Further, textile exports also increased by 10% MoM from USD 1.5Bn. This can be attributed to the favourable outcome of the US-Pakistan Trade Deal wherein Pakistan re ceived a relatively lower tariff, improving raw material prices, and a seasonal uptick in demand due to summers.
  • Pakistan’s international competitiveness has improved as, effec tive August 7, 2025, Pakistan faces a US tariff of 19% whereas for India it is 25%, while Vietnam and Bangladesh face tariffs of 20%.
