Pakistan has recorded its lowest inflation rate in nearly 60 years. In March 2025, inflation dropped to just 0.7%, a sharp contrast to the 38% peak experienced in May 2023. This change didn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of consistent policy rate cuts and tough economic reforms carried out over the past year.
These reforms have played a key role in stabilizing the country’s $350 billion economy. According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the government sees this as clear evidence that Pakistan is heading in the right direction. The steady decline in inflation is also helping rebuild investor trust.
This kind of economic environment gives overseas Pakistanis and international investors a stronger foundation to revisit real estate opportunities, especially in high-potential areas like Lahore and Islamabad. Developments such as those by One Homes, which are tailored specifically for overseas investors, now sit in a far more stable macroeconomic setting.
Inflation Is Down—But What’s Driving It?
The drop in inflation is not random. Several key factors have worked together to bring prices down across the board:
- Aggressive interest rate cuts by Pakistan’s central bank
- Removal of energy subsidies in line with fiscal reform
- Increased inflows through remittances and exports
- Stabilization efforts under Pakistan’s economic framework supported by global partners
Reuters reports that the government expects inflation to stay in the 1% to 1.5% range in the short term. That means the days of unpredictable price swings may be behind us, for now.
Real Estate Feels the Impact
Lower inflation affects more than just grocery bills. In the real estate world, stable prices bring clarity. Investors can plan better, buyers feel more confident, and developers gain room to innovate without battling unpredictable input costs.
For overseas Pakistanis, this creates a rare window of opportunity. A stable rupee, strong buyer sentiment, and clear economic direction make now an ideal time to re-enter or expand in the property market.
Projects like those by One Homes—designed with built-in management services, rental returns, and dollar-linked income—offer even more peace of mind in this climate.
Why Overseas Investment Gains Traction Now
When inflation is high, it’s hard to make long-term decisions. But now, things are looking up:
- Economic growth is back on track. GDP for Q2 2025 has been revised upward, with full-year growth expected to fall between 2.5% and 3.5%.
- External financing pressure is easing, supported by strong remittance flows and rising exports.
- Pakistan is close to receiving the next tranche of funding from the IMF, a move that signals international confidence in the country’s progress.
Together, these indicators build a stronger case for those looking to invest in Pakistan’s real estate market from abroad.
A Clear Signal for Real Estate Buyers
The overall economic tone coming out of Pakistan today is different from a year ago. Inflation has fallen. Growth is improving. Reforms are taking hold. And the message is clear: now is a better time to invest, especially in real estate.
