The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted that the standard inflation rate in Pakistan may strike 14 percent by June 2019. Such inflation rate will lead to higher interest rates to almost 15 percent which will affect the economy significantly.It has been observed that such elevated stage of inflation can affect Prime Minister Imran Khan's most determined flagship programme of constructing five-million low-cost housing units. To complete such planning, banks lend money over and above the policy rate, which will diminish the government's options to give financial support on housing loans.According to sources, taking actions for stability are vital in such position, IMF has also proposed economic growth rate of below 3 percent for fiscal year 2018-19.These reports related to Pakistan economic assessments were shared with Pakistan during September 27 to October 4 staff level visit.Furthermore, according to the report, the IMF has not declared the inflation projections in its brochure, these results are shared at internal levels stating average 14% inflation in fiscal year 2018-19 with the Finance Ministry, said sources who negotiated with the IMF. During the meeting between Finance Minister Asad Umar and the IMF team, the subject of inflation and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) also came up as one of the main discussions.
