KARACHI June 23,2026 : The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) released the advance calendar for Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meetings for FY27. It also expanded its communication framework to improve transparency and predictability in monetary policy.
Moreover, SBP increased post-MPC press conferences from two to four per year. The Governor will now hold briefings after meetings in July, October, January, and April.
In addition, SBP will publish the staff presentation used in the post-MPC Analyst Briefing. It will upload the document on its website one day after each MPC meeting. This step aims to improve transparency and strengthen confidence in data-driven policy decisions.
Furthermore, the central bank streamlined the publication process for MPC minutes. It will now release the minutes by the end of the fourth week after each meeting.
Meanwhile, SBP said these steps form part of a broader effort to improve monetary policy communication. The initiatives align with its Strategic Plan, Vision 2028, which focuses on strengthening policy transmission and anchoring inflation expectations.
