Pakistan Economic Calendar November 2026: Every Auction, Holiday, Prize Bond Draw and Data Release
Every economic date in Pakistan for November 2026: PIB auction 4 Nov, T-bills 11 and 25 Nov, PSX shut 9 Nov, prize bonds 16 Nov and SBP minutes on 20 Nov.
November 2026 has three government debt auctions (a Rs 350 billion bond sale on 4 November and treasury bill sales of Rs 400 billion on 11 November and Rs 600 billion on 25 November), a stock market holiday on 9 November, two prize bond draws on 16 November and the State Bank's meeting minutes on 20 November. October's inflation, trade and remittance figures also land this month. Below is every date we could confirm, and the ones that follow a regular pattern.
We built this list on 1 November 2026 from the State Bank's auction calendars, its monetary policy schedule, the National Savings draw schedule and the Pakistan Stock Exchange holiday list. Where a body has not fixed a date, we say so and give the usual pattern instead.

Government debt auctions raise up to Rs 1,350 billion in November
The State Bank plans three auctions this month, with targets that add up to Rs 1,350 billion by our arithmetic. Banks, funds and individuals can take part, individuals usually through a non-competitive bid at the average price.
The 4 November PIB auction offers Pakistan Investment Bonds of 2, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years. SBP's calendar splits the Rs 350 billion target as Rs 75 billion each for 2 and 3 years, Rs 100 billion for 5 years and Rs 50 billion each for 10 and 15 years. The 3, 5 and 10 year bonds pay coupons of 12.00%, 12.25% and 12.50%. The last PIB result is in the PIB auction of 7 October 2026.
The treasury bill auctions sell 1, 3, 6 and 12 month bills. On 11 November the target is Rs 100 billion for each tenor, against Rs 435 billion of bills maturing. On 25 November it is Rs 150 billion for each tenor, against Rs 776 billion maturing. Bids run from 10 am to 12 noon, and SBP announces the result the same day. The last result is in the 28 October T-bill auction.
October's economic figures come out on a pattern, not a fixed date
Several of the month's most watched numbers have no published release date. Here is when they came last time, which is the best guide we have.

| October trade summary | Pakistan Bureau of Statistics | September's on 2 October | First days of November |

| October remittances | State Bank of Pakistan | September's on 9 October | Around 9 November |
| Monthly economic outlook | Finance Division | October edition on 29 October | Late November |
The Finance Division expects October inflation of 9.5% to 10.5%, against 10.3% in September. The last monthly release is covered in inflation for September 2026.
The stock market is closed on Monday 9 November
The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists Allama Iqbal Day, Monday 9 November 2026, as a trading holiday. Trading resumes on Tuesday 10 November. The only other PSX holiday left this year is Friday 25 December, Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas.
If you plan to buy or sell around that Monday, allow an extra day for settlement. The full list is in PSX holidays for 2026.
Two prize bond draws fall on Monday 16 November
The National Savings schedule for 2026 fixes 16 November for two draws: the Rs 100 bond in Faisalabad and the Rs 1,500 bond in Hyderabad. The schedule notes that a draw falling on a public holiday moves to the next working day.
Prizes and claim rules are on the pages for the Rs 100 prize bond draw and the Rs 1,500 prize bond draw. The next draws after that are the Rs 40,000 and Rs 25,000 premium bonds on 10 December.
