Pakistan's inflation rate dropped to 3.93 percent year-on-year in June from 5.02 percent a month earlier, the state Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.

On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, it fell 0.41 percent in June, the bureau said.

Prices of petrol and tobacco fell in June on a MoM basis, while those of food items, such as damson, lemons, garlic, and mangoes also eased. But the lower prices were offset by a rise in costs of bananas, eggs, and tomatoes.
