Pakistan central bank raises PKR 979B through T-bills auction Pakistan’s central bank raised PKR 979 billion through the auction of treasury bills or T-bills on Wednesday. According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the borrowing was PKR 129 billion more than the targeted amount of PKR 850 billion. The yields for all four tenors — one-month and three-month, six-month and 12-month — fell by around 0.3 basis points (bps). The yields for one-month T-Bills fell by 0.29 bps from 10.49% to 10.20%, three-month by 0.34 bps from 10.49% to 10.15%, six-month by 0.32 bps from 10.48% to 10.16% and 12-month by 0.33 bps from 10.49% to 10.16%. The largest amount of PKR 761 billion was raised via the 12-month bill, followed by PKR 87 billion via the one-month tenor T-bills. The targets were PKR 250 billion and PKR 150 billion, respectively. The government raised PKR 80 billion and PKR 52 billion via the three-month and six-month T-bills, respectively. During the previous auction on December 24, the SBP raised PKR Rs913.14 billion against the targeted amount of PKR 1.2 trillion. The SBP has planned to raise PKR 3.25 trillion through six auctions from January to March. The maturing debt during this period is PKR 3,59 trillion. #### What are T-bills and PIBs? The Pakistan government raises money from local and foreign investors through debt instruments. T-bills are one of those instruments backed by the government. Other such instruments are Pakistan Investment Bonds (PIBs), National Savings instruments, Eurobonds, International Sukuk, etc. T-Bills are short-term, highly liquid government securities issued in 3, 6, and 12-month tenors. The State Bank of Pakistan auctions T-bills every fortnight (on Wednesdays). PIBs are debt securities issued by the State Bank of Pakistan. These bonds are issued in denominations of multiples of PKR 100,000 and available in tenors of 3, 5, 10, and 20 years. The yield on these bonds is fixed and disbursed semi-annually.

Pakistan shortlists six companies to test digital banking solutions The State Bank of Pakistan has shortlisted six applicants to test new digital financial solutions under its Regulatory Sandbox initiative, the central bank said. The selected firms will pilot their proposed products in a controlled live environment for up to six months, subject to conditions set at the time of approval. The shortlisted participants are Neem Exponential Financial Services Private Ltd, Digi Khata (SMC-Private) Limited, and Swich Retail Private Limited under the open banking theme; the Bank of Punjab under remote onboarding of merchants; and Barq Fintech (Pvt) Ltd, along with a joint application by Taptap Send UK Limited and United Bank Limited, under technology-enabled solutions for inward remittances. The Regulatory Sandbox was launched in May 2025 as part of the central bank’s Vision 2028 strategy to promote innovation in digital financial services. The first cohort of applicants was announced in August 2025, with calls for proposals across three themes: technology-enabled solutions for inward remittances, open banking, and remote onboarding of merchants. The central bank said it received strong interest from regulated financial institutions as well as local and international fintech companies. To ensure transparency and effective oversight, it has formed a high-level steering committee to oversee the process. The State Bank said it expects the initiative to encourage the development and introduction of practical, user-focused technological solutions in Pakistan’s financial sector.

Improved economic indicators could lead to 'another policy rate cut' Pakistan’s strong external account position and prudent fiscal management under the International Monetary Fund loan program could result in another interest rate cut, according to a report by AKD Securities. The brokerage said falling inflation toward the lower end of the State Bank of Pakistan’s target range would support further rate cuts, while robust remittances and improved access to external commercial financing—following recent rating upgrades by S&P and Moody’s—would help finance higher imports as economic activity gains momentum. “Despite the easing cycle, we expect the SBP to maintain positive real interest rates of around 4% to 5% to prevent another boom-bust cycle,” AKD Securities said. In December, Pakistan's central bank cut the key policy rate by 50 basis points to 10.5%, bringing the policy rate to the lowest level since March 2022. #### Real rates to remain elevated The report said higher positive real interest rates are likely to become the norm, with forward 12-month real rates projected at 4% to 5%. That level is significantly above Pakistan’s long-term averages, which stand at about 77 basis points over 20 years and negative 4 basis points over the past decade. AKD Securities expects inflation to average 6.3% in fiscal year 2026 and 4.0% in fiscal 2027, supported by improved food supplies, subdued international oil prices and smaller periodic energy price adjustments. However, it warned that fiscal slippages, global energy shocks and climate-related disruptions remain key risks to the outlook. Money supply and credit growth Money supply growth is expected to slow from FY26 but remain in double digits, reflecting lower government borrowing needs amid a narrower fiscal deficit, the report said. At the same time, private sector credit is forecast to expand, led by borrowing from textiles, wholesale and retail trade, chemicals and steel. Consumer financing is also expected to pick up, particularly in the automobile sector, supported by easing financial conditions, improved sentiment and macroeconomic stability. #### External account outlook AKD Securities said Pakistan’s external account is likely to remain broadly balanced, underpinned by strong remittances and faster growth in services exports amid subdued commodity prices. However, it expects exports to decline in FY26 and food imports to rise following flood-related disruptions to agricultural output. The current account is forecast to post a surplus of about $99 million in FY26 before turning into a deficit in subsequent years as import growth outpaces gains in remittances and exports. The report projects foreign exchange reserves held by the central bank to approach $25 billion by FY28, alongside a reduction in forward and swap liabilities. #### Growth to improve gradually Economic growth is expected to remain modest but improve steadily, supported by stabilization, lower commodity prices and gains from structural reforms. AKD Securities forecasts gross domestic product growth of 4.0% in FY26 and 4.1% in FY27, driven by stronger performance in agriculture and services and continued industrial expansion. #### Inflation outlook and risks Inflation is expected to remain under control due to relatively tight monetary and fiscal policies and a stable currency, though supply-side disruptions from abnormal monsoons and flooding could push inflation above the central bank’s target range toward the end of FY26. The report estimates inflation averaged 4.5% in FY25, an eight-year low, down sharply from 23.4% in FY24, reflecting restrained domestic demand and improved supply conditions. AKD Securities said inflation could remain elevated until June 2026 and may breach the SBP’s upper target band of 7% in the fourth quarter of FY26 due to base effects. It is then expected to fall below the target range in FY27, driven by disinflation in major categories such as food, housing, clothing, restaurants and transport. Still, the brokerage cautioned that the inflation outlook remains vulnerable to geopolitical tensions, renewed food price pressures, uncertainty over administered energy prices and any additional fiscal measures.

Pakistan equities likely to close year on high over improved economic indicators Pakistan equities are expected to remain bullish in the last 10 days of the year due to the disbursement of a loan tranche by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), monetary easing, minimal flood impact, improved credit ratings by global agencies, and falling fixed-income yields, according to analysts. The market continued its bullish momentum during last week, driven by investor optimism following the surprise 50bps rate cut by the State Bank of Pakistan on Monday, against market expectations of a status quo. The sentiment was further boosted after the current account posted a $100 million surplus in November. The benchmark KSE-100 index inclined to achieve its highest-ever closing on Thursday at 171,960 points. However, following some profit-taking on the last trading day, it closed the week at 171,404 points, up 1,539 points or 0.91% during the outgoing week. The average volume of the KSE All-Share Index decreased by 5% to 977 million shares. Whereas KEL, HUMNL and DSL topped the volume charts with 63 million, 47 million, and 32 million shares, respectively. The market capitalization of the KSE-ALL Index increased by 0.75% to USD 66,050 million. The sector-wise market capitalization increased week-on-week in the power (5.47%), banks (3.73%), and tobacco (2.90%) sectors. During the week, foreigners were the net sellers of $12.66 million. The major selling was observed in banks ($10.12 million) and E&P ($1.06 million), while net buying was seen in power ($1.79 million). On the local side, individuals ($16.68 million) and mutual funds ($2.38 million) were the major buyers, while insurance companies were the major sellers ($8.15 million). According to an analyst at AKD Securities, investor sentiment is expected to further improve, driven by the likelihood of increased foreign portfolio and direct investment flows, amid improved relations with the United States and Saudi Arabia. This outlook is supported by the lack of alternative investment avenues and the attractive valuation of local equities, with the KSE-100 trading at a multiple of 8.1x while offering a dividend yield of 6.5%. An analyst from Spectrum Securities said that we expect the market to continue its bullish momentum & achieve another milestone in the coming days, following the December-end financial results. The cut in the policy rate is likely to have a positive impact on corporate earnings, especially for debt-heavy companies, by reducing borrowing costs and increasing profit margins. According to an analyst from Arif Habib Ltd, sentiment is likely to remain largely sustained going forward. However, with the rollover scheduled for next week, the market may face some selling pressure. The KSE-100 Index is currently trading at a PER of 8.67x against its 15-year average of 8.80x, offering a dividend yield of ~5.61% versus the historical average of ~6.18%

Pakistan’s reserves at three-year high after $1.3B inflow from IMF Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves have reached a 45-month high after receiving a tranche of $1.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) foreign exchange reserves reached $15.89 billion by the week ending December 12. This is the highest reserves since $15.83 billion on March 11, 2022. Pakistan’s liquid foreign exchange reserves climbed to $21.09 billion as of December 12, bolstered by fresh inflows from the IMF, the country’s central bank said Wednesday. According to the SBP, total liquid foreign reserves stood at $21.09 billion. Of this amount, $15.89 billion was held by the central bank, while net foreign reserves with commercial banks totaled $5.20 billion. The SBP said its foreign exchange reserves rose by $1.3 billion during the week ended December 12, reaching $15.89 billion. The increase was mainly driven by the receipt of around $1.2 billion from the IMF under its Extended Fund Facility and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility. The latest inflow provides temporary relief to Pakistan’s external account, which has been under pressure from high debt repayments, elevated import bills and a fragile balance-of-payments position. Analysts have said the IMF disbursement has strengthened short-term buffers but cautioned that sustainability remains tied to continued reforms. “The jump in reserves is clearly IMF-driven and helps stabilize market sentiment in the near term,” said a Karachi-based economist. “However, reserves remain modest relative to Pakistan’s external financing needs, and maintaining this level will depend on program compliance, timely bilateral inflows and a durable improvement in exports and remittances.” The IMF-supported programs require Pakistan to pursue fiscal consolidation, market-based exchange rate policies and structural reforms aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability and supporting long-term growth.
