Pakistan Central Bank Holds Benchmark Rate at 11.5%

The State Bank of Pakistan kept its benchmark policy rate unchanged at 11.5%, matching market expectations. The decision leaves borrowing costs at the level set at the central bank’s previous policy meeting. No change to the rate corridor was announced.

The hold itself is unremarkable, but its relevance to crypto and RWA markets lies in the broader liquidity backdrop: a stable policy rate in a high-inflation emerging market keeps local capital searching for yield alternatives, which is where digital-asset and tokenized products tend to compete. The absence of any corridor adjustment signals the central bank is comfortable with current conditions rather than signaling a pivot. Whether that stance shifts at the next policy meeting is the open question worth tracking.
