ISLAMABAD : Inflation during the first six months of FY2024-25 (July-December) declined to 7.2% compared to 28.8% in the same period last year. In December 2024, inflation was recorded at 4.1%, the lowest in 80 months (since April 2018, when it stood at 3.96%). The sharp decline in inflation is attributed to exchange rate stability, prudent fiscal management, and improved supply arrangements for essential commodities. Strict action against illegal foreign exchange companies, smuggling, and hoarding has helped stabilize the exchange rate, boost market confidence, and ensure a steady supply of goods. Online
