World Bank Projects Pakistan Inflation at 8.2% in FY2026-27

Pakistan inflation is expected to rise further in the coming year, with the World Bank projecting inflation at 8.2% in FY2026-27, up from 7.1% in FY2025-26.

These are projections. The update ties the rise to prices, not to a new tax or a fuel decision announced today.

Why Pakistan inflation is projected higher

Higher energy and commodity prices, along with domestic food-price pressures, are expected to add to the burden on households. The outlook highlights continued challenges for consumers as the country works toward economic recovery.

Our verdict

The World Bank's projection puts Pakistan inflation at 8.2% in FY2026-27, up from 7.1% the year before, with energy, commodity, and domestic food prices named as the pressure. It is an expectation for the coming year, not a result already in hand.
