The SBP will disclose its monetary policy decision through a press release on the same day. In the previous meeting, the MPC maintained the policy rate at 22 percent, citing a stable inflation outlook and a gradual recovery in economic activity. Considering these factors, analysts predict that the MPC will choose to maintain the status quo in the upcoming meeting.
