State Bank of Pakistan Slashes Interest Rate to 11% – 2025 Updates

In a significant and strategic development, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has officially announced a reduction in the policy interest rate from 12% to 11%. This move is aimed at stimulating economic activity, encouraging investments, and providing a much-needed boost to various sectors of the economy — especially real estate and business.

The decision comes at a time when the country is grappling with inflationary pressures and sluggish investment. By lowering the interest rate, the SBP intends to ease borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, thus fueling capital formation, expansion, and consumer spending. This move is being seen as a positive signal from the central bank, indicating confidence in macroeconomic stability and the effectiveness of ongoing fiscal measures.

Impact on the Real Estate Sector

One of the most immediate and visible impacts of this rate cut will be on the real estate sector. Lower interest rates typically result in more affordable financing options for homebuyers and developers alike. With reduced mortgage rates and improved access to capital, the demand for property—especially in urban and suburban developments—is expected to surge.

Investment in housing societies, commercial plots, and development projects will likely gain momentum as affordability improves. Developers are already viewing this as an opportunity to launch new projects or accelerate the pace of existing developments. Furthermore, with real estate being a traditionally strong hedge against inflation in Pakistan, the timing of this rate cut makes property investments even more attractive.

Boost for Businesses and Startups

The reduction in interest rates will also have a positive ripple effect across the business ecosystem. Lower financing costs mean companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), can access credit at more favorable terms. This will support business expansion, inventory buildup, and employment generation.

For startups and tech companies, easier access to working capital could be a lifeline, allowing them to scale operations and invest in innovation without the heavy burden of high-interest repayments.
