Dear Sirs/ Madams,


SBP's Policy Rate and Overnight Repo / Reverse-Repo Facilities


Please refer to DMMD Circular No. 03 dated Mar 17, 2020. Following changes are announced with reference to this circular:

  1. SBP has decided to decrease its ‘Policy Rate’ (Target Rate) from 12.50% to 11.00%.

  2. SBP Overnight Reverse Repo (Ceiling) rate will be at 12.00% i.e. 100 bps above the SBP Policy Rate.

  3. The SBP Overnight Repo (Floor) rate will be at 10.00% i.e. 100 bps below the SBP Policy Rate.

  4. Accordingly, the Floor and Ceiling levels for the Interest Rate Corridor are 10.00% and 12.00% p.a. respectively (i.e. width of 200bps).

SBP will continue to ensure that the money market overnight rate remains close to the SBP Policy Rate (Target Rate).

Above changes are effective from Mar 25, 2020. Other instructions on the subject shall, however, remain unchanged.

  

Yours Sincerely,


Muhammad Amin Khan Lodhi
