A good decision but I fear it will help for short term- only those will invest who want to hedge their risks or want to earn an arbitrage profit, but will hurt the country's economy in long term.
UAE interest rates are currently 2.8%
Where as Pakistan it is 12.25%
UK interest rates are currently 0.75%
Where as Pakistan it is 12.25
Now is the good time to move savings to Pakistan and earn more.
With inflation at 7.19% , investors will start to pile up their profits/retained earnings in banks rather than using it or borrowing bank loans to expand businesses (much needed in this financial crisis) with earning a gross of 5.1% - not taking into account the current depreciation trend of PKR. Inflation will decrease but the economic wheel will slow down as well - shutting down of factories and lose of jobs is possible.
