The most recent development in Pakistan's economic landscape is the expansion of the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) Economic Agents Network (EAN) to Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad, as reported by ProPakistani. This initiative, originally launched in May 2025, aims to enhance stakeholder engagement and gather insights on economic conditions. The EAN systematically collects data on demand, pricing, and employment trends through structured interviews with business leaders, which are then used to inform the Monetary Policy Committee. This network acts as an early warning system, providing timely insights during periods of uncertainty, such as natural disasters or trade disruptions. The SBP's approach underscores the importance of qualitative insights in complementing traditional data for a forward-looking monetary policy framework.
