Pakistan's wholesale price inflation slowed to 10.7% year-on-year in June 2026, down from 12.7% in May. The deceleration was mainly driven by weaker price increases in ores, minerals, electricity, gas and water (5.7% vs. 8.5%).
In contrast, inflation accelerated in several categories, including food, beverages, tobacco, textiles and leather products (7.1% vs. 6.9%), with leather products showing a notable rise (19.2% vs. 16.1%). Price growth also gained pace for agriculture, forestry and fishery products (1.8% vs. 1.0%), as well as for metal products, machinery and equipment (5.7% vs. 5.2%).
On a monthly basis, wholesale prices fell by 1.2% in June, extending the 0.8% decline recorded in May.
