Abstract

The study analyzes the role of fiscal deficit in explaining movements in long-term interest rate in Pakistan. We have investigated the long run relationship between budget deficit and long-term interest rate along with GDP growth, expected inflation, capital inflows and short-term interest rate during the period from 1975 to 2008 by applying cointegration technique. We have found that a 1 percent increase in the budget deficit leads to more than 40 basis points increase in longterm interest rate in Pakistan thereby increasing the cost of funds for investment.
