The government expected inflation to stay between 3% and 4% in June. This forecast came from the Finance Ministry’s monthly report.

Urban inflation fell to 3% year-on-year in June, down from 3.5% in May. Meanwhile, rural inflation rose slightly to 3.6%. Experts say food prices and other daily items have helped keep inflation in check. They also expect inflation trends to return to normal as base effects fade.
In conclusion, inflation in Pakistan shows signs of easing after years of pressure. Stable food stocks and better economic conditions are key reasons. However, the government and analysts remain cautious. They continue monitoring prices closely to maintain this positive trend.
