The MPRs are timed to be released within two weeks of the July and January MPC meetings, where SBP will update its projections for key macroeconomic indicators. The reports will supplement SBP’s other monetary policy-related communications with key stakeholders. These efforts are all geared towards enhancing the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission by anchoring inflation expectations, and are part of SBP’s roadmap towards adopting an inflation targeting regime.
