    Pakistan increases profit rates for saving accounts

    Pakistan has increased profit rates for saving accounts to 13.50 per cent per annum from 12.25 per cent.

    According to Arif Habib Limited, the authority announced the increase in profit rates for two schemes.

    The profit rate of savings accounts has been increased by 125 basis points to 13.50 per cent from 12.25 per cent

    Similarly, the profit rate has been increased for regular income certificates by 24 basis points to 12.60 per cent from 12.36 per cent.

    However, profit rates for other schemes are remained unchanged. The profit rates for the other scheme are: Defence Saving Certificate at 12.40 per cent; Behbood Saving Certificate at 14.16 per cent; Special Saving Certificates at 13 per cent; and Pensioner Benefit Account at 14.16 per cent.

    The increase in profit rates of saving schemes have been announced after the key policy rate was hiked to 15 per cent.

    On July 7, 2022, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) announced to increase the policy rate by 125 basis points to 15 per cent.

    This combined action continues the monetary tightening underway since last September, which is aimed at ensuring a soft landing of the economy amid an exceptionally challenging and uncertain global environment. It should help cool economic activity, prevent a de-anchoring of inflation expectations and provide support to the Rupee in the wake of multi-year high inflation and record imports.

    However, several adverse developments have overshadowed this positive news. Globally, inflation is at multi-decade highs in most countries and central banks are responding aggressively, leading to depreciation pressure on most emerging market currencies.

    “This strong monetary tightening has occurred despite concerns about a slowdown in global growth and even recession risks, highlighting the primacy that central banks are placing on containing inflation at this juncture,” the SBP said.

    Domestically, as energy subsidies were reversed, both headline and core inflation increased significantly in June, rising to a 14-year high. Inflation expectations of consumers and businesses also rose markedly.

    At the same time, the current account deficit unexpectedly spiked in May and the trade deficit continued its post-March widening trend to reach a 7-month high in June, on burgeoning energy imports. As a result, FX reserves and the Rupee remained under pressure, further worsening the inflation outlook, the central bank added.

    Pakistan’s trade deficit narrows by 18% in July 2022

    ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s trade deficit narrowed by 18 per cent in the month of July 2022, according to data released by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) on Tuesday.

    The contraction in trade deficit may be attributed to decline in import bill. The import bill of the country fell by 13 per cent to $4.86 billion in July 2022 as compared with $5.57 billion in the same month of the last year.

    However, the exports of the country also fell by 5.17 per cent to $2.22 billion in the month of July this year as compared with $2.34 billion in the same month of the last year.

    The trade deficit sharply narrowed by 46.76 per cent to $2.64 billion in July 2022 when compared with $4.96 billion in June 2022.

    The import billion declined by 38 per cent to $4.86 billion in July 2022 as compared with $7.88 billion in June 2022.

    Analysts at KASB KTrade Securities attributed to the strict import control measures which were put in place last month.

    They said this is the lowest trade deficit level in the last 15 months.

    “We think this should support the current account situation and will provide some confidence to the investors regarding the ability of the government in dealing with macroeconomic challenges,” according to the analysts.

    The analysis shows that assuming no change in demand, a 40 per cent reduction in oil prices would turn the deficit into a surplus. This means that if Pakistan had the ability to get cheaper energy from Iran or from Russia, it could have been sufficient to bridge the trade deficit.

    “Indeed, that could have had much punitive geo-economics implications and might not be a viable strategy. This also illustrates that if the oil price supply shock due to Ukraine war ends, Pakistan’s economy could return to a more stable condition.”

    Building foreign exchange reserves is the only defense strategy against external economic shocks.
