Dear Sirs/Madams,

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

Please refer to DMMD Circular No. 02 dated June 10, 2024. Following changes are announced with reference to this circular:

1. SBP has decided to decrease ‘Policy Rate’ (Target Rate) from 20.50% to 19.50%.
2. SBP Overnight Reverse Repo (Ceiling) rate will be at 20.50% i.e. 100 bps above the SBP Policy Rate.
3. The SBP Overnight Repo (Floor) rate will be at 18.50% i.e. 100 bps below the SBP Policy Rate.
4. Accordingly, the Floor and Ceiling levels for the Interest Rate Corridor are 18.50% and 20.50% 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).
