Overview
Pakistan's inflation rate stood at 4.50% in 2025, a decline of +8.14pp from 2024. The IMF projects 4.50% by 2025. Pakistan ranked 52nd globally.
Pakistan's inflation rate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with a notable all-time peak of 30.77% in 2023 and an all-time trough of -0.52% in 1962, a period marked by economic restructuring and agricultural reforms. Since then, the inflation rate has generally trended upwards, with varying degrees of volatility. In recent years, Pakistan's inflation rate has been comparable to that of Lesotho, which ranked 5th globally in 2025 with a rate of 4.54%. According to the World Bank, Pakistan's inflation rate has declined to 4.50% in 2025, a relatively stable rate compared to the peak. The recent stabilization in inflation rate could be attributed to the government's efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and manage the economy through monetary policy. However, if global commodity prices surge and domestic economic growth accelerates, Pakistan's inflation rate may be at risk of increasing, potentially challenging the government's inflation control efforts and economic stability.
