Tax Incentives and Gulf War Fallout Impacting Pakistani Property Market
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
The property market in Pakistan is showing signs of bifurcation, with two distinct segments emerging across cities including Multan, Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. While the lower and middle ends benefit from genuine housing demand, the higher end faces challenges due to weak transaction volumes. Residential prices have reportedly risen by 20-25 percent since the US-Iran war began.

Why it matters
The market is being influenced by a Prime Minister’s scheme offering financing up to Rs. 10 million at a fixed 5 percent customer rate. This market activity is occurring alongside the Gulf War causing disruptions to the movement of Pakistani money into Dubai.
