These are USC prices where you can buy only one kg of sugar per family. Open market rates are well above Rs100/kg.

[Mentee]

the price of wheat flour by about 19pc to Rs950 per 20kg bag from its existing rate of Rs800.


Likewise, sugar price was raised from the existing rate of Rs68 to Rs85 per kg, indicating an increase of 25pc.

Govt is catching up with original prices, sarakari rate you know

In September 2022:

 

[Hephaestus]

1100 for 20kg flour bag

Not that bad is it? Here in India a 20kg atta bag would cost you ₹560. That's like PKR 1600.
also, I am not talking about the packaged atta from big retail vendors which will cost even more.

Unless public comes out on road against inflation, govt will not act.

In all likelihood it is because of the flood induced disruption in supply. It should fall back to the Rs 80/kg level which is the price that Hepahestus quotes for India (adjusted for PKR to INR)

ok this is flood then why in may i used 800 units electricity that cost me 22,000 in august i used 396 units and cost 21,000

Must be rain?

 

[SoulSpokesman]

@AZ1

in august i used 396 units and cost 21,000

Two reasons.

One, there has been an increase in tariff because of increase in fuel prices.
Two, a large amount of arrears of past periods is being billed now. So optically it may appear like an exorbitant price.

But going forward once these past arrears are done with billing at peak rates will be close to PKR 28 or so which is about 12 cents a unit (and not more than 5-10% higher than Indian rates). You will fall off your chair if you know what the Europeans are paying for power now!

An energy expert like Niaz sb ( @niaz ) maybe able to decode the hikes better.

I have been told that may gas & electricity bill would go to about £550/- per month from Sept 20222 (this month). This along with more than £300/- per month Brent Council Rates for my house means that income coming to me from my pension is reduced by nearly 40%. Nearly all the pensioners in the UK, except those with very substantial savings, are in similar situation and have to dig into their savings to make both ends meet. But what happens when the savings dry up?

What is the cause? . Currently three major oil-producing countries are under the US sanctions. Iran, Venezuela and Russia. Easing sanctions on Iran & Venezuela alone would release up to 4-million bbl per day into the world market. Russian oil exports have not reduced by much but it is not available in the open market because you cannot pay back in US dollars. Those countries which can pay either in Roubles or offer sufficient goods in exchange such as India, China, Turkey etc are reaping the benefit by buying Urals at $40/- per bbl discount to Brent.

Russia was the largest gas producer (after USA) in 2021. It exported 210 BCM to Europe via pipelines. This equates about 189 million tons of oil per annum. In retaliation to the overwhelming military and economic support to Ukraine by the EU countries Russia has restricted the gas supplies causing severe shortage in the international market.

IMHO it is primarily due to the USA desiring "World domination. Why did Trump cancel the nuclear deal with Iran? In 2017 Trump imposed sanctions on Venezuela because president Maduro wanted to change country's constitution to grab more presidential power.

1n 1962 Kennedy was prepared to go to nuclear war with Russia because of installation of Russian missiles in Cuba. In 2022 Joe Biden would not agree to guarantee that Ukraine, which was until recently part of the Soviet Union, would not be accepted into NATO.

The real culprit for the high oil & gas prices is IMHO the USA.
