March 14 (Bloomberg) -- Pakistan’s central bank Governor Syed Salim Raza said Asia’s highest interest rates will be gradually reduced this year, ruling out steep cuts that may fuel inflation.

“The risk of too sharp a cut is to convey the feeling that the battle against inflation has been won and unfortunately, that’s not true,” Raza said in an interview in Karachi yesterday. “Too sharp a cut would seem to be populist, premature or succumbing to pressure. I would err on the side of gradualism and do it in stages.”

State Bank of Pakistan raised borrowing costs five times in the past 18 months as inflation accelerated to a three-decade high and domestic political turmoil distracted the government. Gradual reductions may not be enough to revive the economy as the global recession curbs demand for Pakistan’s exports.

“Now is the time to be aggressive and cutting the policy rate by 200 basis points in April will be aggressive,” said Nasim Beg, who manages the equivalent of $118.6 million in stocks and bonds at Arif Habib Investments Ltd. in Karachi. “That’s what the economy needs.”

A widening rift between President Asif Ali Zardari and his former ally Nawaz Sharif is distracting the government from tackling the economic slowdown and deteriorating security.

Lawyers, backed by Sharif, began a four-day protest march on March 12, and plan to converge on the capital Islamabad on March 16. Political tensions flared last month when Sharif accused Zardari of backing a Supreme Court ruling that barred the former premier from running for public office.

Room to Cut

The Asian nation may have room to cut rates if inflation keeps slowing, the International Monetary Fund said last month. Foreign exchange reserves held by the central bank have risen to $6.6 billion on March 7 after falling to $3.5 billion in October.

“With things going in the right direction, the stage is set within the next couple of months for an opportunity to lower the rate,” Raza, who took over as governor in January, said.

While inflation has declined from a three-decade high reached in August, prices accelerated for the first time in four months in February as food costs rose.

The central bank predicts inflation may ease to 11 percent by June from 21.07 percent last month.

Former Governor Shamshad Akhtar increased the central bank’s discount rate to slow inflation and help shore up Pakistan’s foreign-exchange reserves. The country was forced to turn to the IMF for a $7.6 billion rescue package last year after its reserves shrank 75 percent in a year to $3.45 billion.

Higher borrowing costs have dented growth in the economy, which is predicted by the government to expand 2.5 percent this fiscal year to June 30, down from 5.8 percent last year.

“Monetary policy actions should be based on future expectations,” said Farid Khan, director at Credit Suisse Pakistan in Karachi. “Inflation will fall sharply and hence there is room for interest rate cuts this calendar year.”

Khan expects a reduction of up to one percentage point at the central bank’s next monetary-policy review in April and another cut by July.
