Weekly Inflation in Pakistan 2026: Every Week's SPI Change From PBS, February to October (Full List)

Latest: weekly inflation in Pakistan, measured by the Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI), fell 0.35% in the week to 29 October 2026, after a 0.65% rise the week before. Below is every week's change PBS shows for 2026, from 12 February to 29 October, in one list.

The SPI is a weekly price check by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS). It tracks 51 everyday items, such as flour, chicken, tomatoes, LPG and petrol, in 17 cities, and compares their prices with the week before. A plus figure means prices rose that week. A minus figure means they fell.

We took every figure from the SPI chart on the PBS home page on 5 November 2026. The chart shows the combined week-on-week change for 36 weeks. We cross-checked three of them against the PBS weekly releases we reported at the time, and they matched.

Weekly inflation fell 0.35% in the latest week, to 29 October 2026

The SPI dropped 0.35% in the week to 29 October 2026, its second fall in three weeks. Against the same week of 2025, prices were 11.32% higher, PBS said. Prices had risen 0.65% the week before, on 22 October, after a tiny 0.04% dip on 15 October.

Our report on that week, weekly inflation for 29 October 2026, lists which items moved, including the 35% jump in tomato prices.

The next figure covers the week to Thursday 5 November 2026. PBS normally releases it on the Friday that follows.

Every week of 2026: the full SPI list

PBS's chart lists 36 weeks, newest first below. Two weeks have no entry in the chart, the weeks to 28 May and 25 June 2026, and the chart starts on 12 February, so January is not in it.

Out of 36 weeks listed, prices rose in 25 and fell in 11. No week showed exactly zero.

March and September saw the fastest price rises

Chaining the weekly changes month by month shows March 2026 as the worst month, with prices up about 3.5% across its four listed weeks. September came next at about 2.4%, then April at about 2.5% over five weeks.

These are our own sums, made by compounding the PBS weekly figures. They are a guide to the trend, not an official monthly number. For the official monthly figure use the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which PBS puts at 9.6% for October 2026 in our October 2026 inflation report.

Across all 36 listed weeks, the chained rise is about 11.9%. Because two weeks are missing, treat that as a rough figure.

The biggest single week was 9 April 2026, up 1.93%

The sharpest weekly rise came in the week to 9 April 2026, when the SPI jumped 1.93%. The week to 12 March 2026 was close behind at 1.89%. The biggest fall was 0.98% in the week to 2 July 2026.

• Biggest rises: 9 April (+1.93%), 12 March (+1.89%), 16 July (+1.40%), 19 February (+1.16%), 2 April (+1.01%).
• Biggest falls: 2 July (-0.98%), 30 July (-0.91%), 16 April (-0.69%), 12 February (-0.59%), 4 June (-0.56%).

Big weekly jumps usually come from a few volatile items, such as tomatoes, onions, chicken or LPG, rather than from all 51 items at once.
