It is truly a golden time to be an investor in Pakistan. Not just because the inflation is falling on a month-on-month basis but also because the economic policies and reforms are reflecting high-performing indicators for the upcoming years as well.
In recent news, inflation in Pakistan has fallen sharply! This gives buyers and investors a lot of confidence in the market, which offers a boost to startups and investments in various industries.
In December 2024, inflation is projected to hit 4%, following the recent down-trend in the last couple of months. This is the lowest inflation has gone in 6.5 years. The consistent drop is because of the beneficial base from last year and supportive monetary policies from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
We at One Homes have always believed in Pakistan’s potential. Our foundation was constructed on the idea of enabling overseas investors to capitalise on this rapidly emerging market. Now, since inflation is slowing and the economic outlook is improving– it marks the perfect time to buy a home that’s designed for growth, comfort, and style.
What are the Numbers Indicating?
A report by JS Global says inflation, measured through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is likely to drop to 4% in December 2024. This follows a 4.9% rate in November, the lowest since May 2018. The drop is linked to a base effect from high inflation last year.
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has been cutting interest rates to support this trend. Since June 2024, the policy rate has dropped from 22% to 13% through five cuts, including a 200 basis point cut in the last MPC meeting. Lower rates make borrowing cheaper and add to positive market sentiment.
Other Economic Signs Point to Growth
Falling inflation isn’t the only positive change. Some other indicators highlighting economic growth are:
- GDP Growth: Pakistan’s GDP is reflecting better economic health, growing to 3.5% in FY25.
- Pakistan Stock Market: The KSE-100 index has crossed 116,000 points, highlighting strong investor activity.
- Foreign Direct Investment: FDI is up by around 30% this year, signalling global confidence in Pakistan.
- Stable Currency: The Pakistani rupee has remained steady against the US dollar for several months.
These trends, alongside lower inflation and interest rates, make Pakistan’s industries a goldmine for investors, especially the real estate market.
What Does This Mean for Real Estate?
Lower inflation implies higher purchasing power and easily accessible funding. This is good not only for the business sector but also means new investment opportunities, especially within the real estate market.
