Trend in the last years

Expected Monetary Policy:

Excessive borrowing has stimulated
expectations of increasing inflation in the
future and resulted in higher interest rates
which in turn have caused a decrease in
investment.
SBP realizes that the burden of monetary
tightening is being borne largely by the
private sector as higher interest rate
cause investment to crowd out
SBP after careful consideration has
decided to increase the policy rate by 50
basis points to 14 percent as on outcome
of 30th November, 2010.

62.170 and the highest price petrol
was Rs. 75.900 respectively.
On average the price petrol was Rs.
69.559.
The prices have been fluctuating
over the year 2010 the oil prices
have been exposed to international
prices shocks.
The future of the prices remains
unpredictable

View on Stocks and Bonds:

In the future investment in stocks and

bonds expect high return.
This is primarily due to:

1. the fact that the global markets have started

to recover from the financial crisis
2. the country primarily is coming out of the
political turmoil
3. law and order situation has improved much
since last year

For 2011 the approach is to allocate to

both markets. If the economy heats up
and stocks jump in value that would be
great as large capital gains will be
realized.
