February 03, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan's inflation slowed to 2.4% in January 2025- marking a 9-year low, compared to 4.1% in the previous month and 28.3% in January 2024, the latest data issued by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) showed.
On a sequential basis, inflation stands at 0.2% MoM in January 2025, compared to 0.1% MoM in December 2024 and 1.8% in January 2024.
Accordingly, the average yearly inflation for 7MFY25 is 6.5%, compared to 28.7% in 7MFY24.
