Monetary Policy Decisions are issued every alternate month in, July, September, November, January, March and May. They contain brief analysis of economic conditions and rationale behind the monetary policy decision. For details see Monetary Policy Statements.
SBP communicates its monetary policy stance primarily through its websites and press release. Governor SBP makes a press conference usually at the beginning and middle of fiscal years (July and January) to present the monetary policy stance to media in addition to uploading the decision on website and press release. In a bid to improve the communication of monetary policy and transparency, SBP has started publishing minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee on its website. After the monetary policy announcement, higher management of SBP makes presentations at various forums and gives interviews to print and electronic media to further clarify its monetary policy stance.
