巴基斯坦卡拉奇100指数 (KSE100) 加自选

巴基斯坦的年通货膨胀率在2025年5月升至3.5%，为五个月来的最高水平，从4月份记录的近60年低点0.3%大幅反弹。这一数字大大超过了财政部预测的1.5-2%，尽管仍远低于近年来的历史高点。这一增长是在巴基斯坦在国际货币基金组织70亿美元计划下经历脆弱复苏之际发生的，该计划导致税收增加和电价上涨。上涨压力来自食品和非酒精饮料（4月份为3.1%对-4.8%）、服装和鞋类（9.6%对9.1%）、餐馆和酒店（7.4%对6.3%）以及杂项商品和服务（15.4%对13.8%），而住房和公用事业（-2.5%对-2.6%）以及交通（-2.5%比-3.9%）的价格下跌有所缓和。按月计算，继4月份下降0.8%之后，5月份消费者价格指数下降了0.2%。这标志着自2021年1月以来首次出现连续两个月的通货紧缩。

Pakistan's annual inflation rate rose to 3.5% in May 2025, the highest in five months and a sharp rebound from the near six-decade low of 0.3% recorded in April. The figure significantly exceeded the Finance Ministry’s forecast of 1.5–2%, though it remains well below the record highs seen in recent years. The increase comes as Pakistan navigates a fragile recovery under the IMF’s $7 billion program, which has led to increased taxation and higher electricity tariffs. Upward pressure came from food and non-alcoholic beverage (3.1% vs. -4.8% in April), clothing and footwear (9.6% vs. 9.1%), restaurants and hotels (7.4% vs. 6.3%), and miscellaneous goods and services (15.4% vs. 13.8%), while price decreases moderated for both housing and utilities (-2.5% vs. -2.6%) and transport (-2.5% vs. -3.9%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices declined by 0.2% in May, following a 0.8% drop in April. It marked the first instance of two consecutive months of deflation since January 2021.
