title: "Pakistan inflation recorded at 9.2% year-on-year in July 2026"
description: "Most outlets reported the year-on-year inflation rate of 9.2% for July 2026, noting it as a decline from June’s 11.1% but still significantly higher than the 4.1% recorded in July 2025. BOL News highlighted the statistical base effect as a potential reason for the drop, while Arab News Pakistan and Daily Times emphasized that the rate was more than double the previous year’s figure. Aaj News and Dawn mentioned the government’s forecast being matched, and ProPakistani noted the inflation rate dropping below 10% but still doubling from the prior year. Dunya News repeated the same excerpt twice, focusing on both year-on-year and month-on-month changes."
