Pakistan Economy - CPI Inflation Projected at 44-month High in Jun-18

  • We expect CPI inflation to reach a 44-month of 5.3%YoY in Jun-18. It is expected to rise sharply during the month by 1.1ppt (between Jun-18 and May-18), led by 0.6%MoM inflation owing to higher food/clothing inflation amidst Ramadan effect and low base effect of 0.4ppt (between Jun-18 and May-18).
  • Owing to exclusion of food items and cigarettes in NFNE Index, NFNE inflation is expected to see a relatively modest increase reaching 7.2%YoY in Jun-18 vs. 6.9%YoY in May-18, where 0.4%MoM inflation is expected to be partially offset by high base effect of -0.1ppt (between Jun-18 and May-18).
