Pakistan’s weekly inflation rate, measured by the Sensitive Price Index (SPI), declined by 0.91% for the week ended July 30, according to data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.

The figure marks a reversal from the previous week, when inflation had accelerated to 0.91% for the period ending July 23.

The week-over-week drop suggests that immediate price pressures on essential goods may be easing, offering a brief respite in a market environment where cost-of-living concerns have remained elevated.

The SPI tracks a basket of frequently purchased items, making it a sensitive barometer for short-term consumer sentiment and purchasing power.

This latest print follows a period of volatility in Pakistan’s inflation metrics.

The prior week’s acceleration had raised concerns about persistent underlying price momentum, but the subsequent dip indicates that supply-side constraints or seasonal factors may be moderating headline pressures.
