Islamabad: (RightNow). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected an average inflation rate of 8.4% in Pakistan for the fiscal year 2026-27. This rate exceeds the government’s target and is higher than the previous fiscal year.

The IMF report forecasts a decline in inflation over the next four fiscal years. Inflation is expected to be lower than the current fiscal year during this period.

According to the report, average inflation in Pakistan is likely to remain in single digits over the next five years. This trend was also observed in the past two fiscal years.

This prediction is significant for Pakistan’s economic stability, as a reduction in inflation could positively impact public life.

It is noteworthy that inflation rates had increased in previous years, affecting public purchasing power. The IMF report aims to guide economic planning.
