PTI govt set to unveil mini-budget in 2 months The federal government is making preparations for introducing a mini-budget to slap nearly Rs150 billion worth of additional taxes after it failed to ensure 45% growth in revenues despite slapping Rs735 billion worth of additional taxes in June. However, the under-consideration mini-budget may keep inflation at elevated levels. Due to relative stability in the value of the rupee, the IMF has also cut its average inflation forecast to 11.8% from 13%. The Rs160.64 valuation is Rs11.89 or 6.9% lower than the previous assumption, showed the latest report. One of the factors undermining the exports is a constant rise in the cost of doing business due to higher taxes, transport cost and increasing prices of electricity and gas.Įarlier in its July staff-level report, the IMF had assumed the value of the rupee at Rs172.53 to a dollar. However, despite a significant devaluation since January 2018, the exports are still not performing well.
The average exchange rate of Rs160.64 to a dollar by June 2020 means that the year-end rupee-dollar parity comes to Rs172 to a dollar as against previous rate of Rs188.īoth the IMF and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government were of the firm view that due to an overvalued rupee during the PML-N tenure, exports were underperforming. Under the IMF-supported programme, there is not an agreed target level for the exchange rate, which is market-determined”. In July this year, the IMF said the “published staff report on Pakistan includes exchange rate assumptions which are not predictions. These numbers have been worked out on the basis of a backward working of current account deficit projections that still show that the rupee would keep losing its value under the IMF programme and beyond it. In the staff-level report, the IMF has not again explicitly stated the exchange rate valuation. The rupee is relatively stabilising despite the fact that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has purchased $1.8 billion from the inter-bank market from July 1 to November 29, according to the IMF report. These exchange rate assumptions are taken from the IMF’s staff-level report, released this week after the completion of first review of the $6-billion bailout package. The new valuation of Rs160.64 is better than market expectations and underlines an orderly transformation to the market-determined flexible exchange rate regime.įATF blacklisting may affect Pakistan's capital inflows, says IMF
Still, the IMF implicitly suggests 3.8% or Rs5.94 average depreciation in the value of the rupee in the remaining period of current fiscal year. The fresh valuation is 6.9% or Rs11.9 less as compared to the IMF’s working in June this year when it valued the rupee at Rs172.53 to a dollar.
