Dear Sirs/Madams,
SBP's Policy Rate and Overnight Repo / Reverse-Repo Facilities
Please refer to DMMD Circular No. 04 of 2025 dated May 05, 2025. Following changes are announced with reference to this circular:
SBP has decided to decrease ‘Policy Rate’ (Target Rate) from 11.00% to 10.50%.
SBP Overnight Reverse Repo (Ceiling) rate will be at 11.50%, i.e., 100 bps above the SBP Policy Rate.
The SBP Overnight Repo (Floor) rate will be at 9.50%, i.e., 100 bps below the SBP Policy Rate.
Accordingly, the Floor and Ceiling levels for the Interest Rate Corridor are 9.50% and 11.50% 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).
Above changes are effective from December 16th, 2025. Other instructions on the subject shall, however, remain unchanged.
Yours sincerely,
