Interesting to note the petrol is far cheaper in Pakistan then India. This is wrong and points to government subsidy of the wealthy.

India: £0.77 per ltr
Pakistan £0.55 per ltr

This points to petrol being almost 50% more expensive then India. Since both countries import oil and thus costs must be same. However I imagine Indian government has greater tax on fuel which leads to higher price but on the other hand provides huge money into it's treasury. Something to muse over.

PDF has a wide array of members from across the world. Would be interesting to see what prices you pay for day to day things. Food, clothing, transport etc Items that can be compared across the globe and make good referance points like pint of milk, coke bottle, cost of pizza, McDonald burger etc would be nice. Also please add the exchange rate with sterling pound so we all have common measure.

@vostok @KediKesenFare @xenon54 @Beast @Hamartia Antidote etc etc. The more countries we get the better the measure becomes. Thanks all.

Ps. Prices of petrol, cars, housing etc would be good idea.

Thats very vague question but let me tell you that its an expensive country for food, real estate, transportation but cheap for electronics and cars.
Also reasonable taxes, 22% income (my city) 1.8% VAT for food and 7.8% for everything else and almost 1:1 exchange rate to USD.

Oof, looks like I shouldn't be complaining about our prices but your minimum wages are also higher then ours so it works out.

that because of huge munafa khori and mafias in Pakistan.

Minimum wage is a sham... It only causes inflation and the higher it goes the more money you lose as the saved up money you already have loses value due to price increases by businesses.

I live in Canada. Pakistan is a completely different story.

Minimum wage isnt even enough to survive on. It's a sham, indeed.

There is no justification for Rs 12 Naan, Rs 100 for small bread...they both use the same amount of flour

I just know the prices it’s in the job

 

[Indus Pakistan]

It does indeed. But that inflation is shared by all. The benefits of minimum wage only accrue to those right at the bottom. So it is still of some use and not sham. I find policies that are designed to redistribute wealth in society get torn apart and recieve the microscope. But policies that benefit the rich and have holes as big as what sank the Titanic get conveniently overlooked.

The price of petrol in India is about Rs33 or $0.5
and rest of $ 0.5 are added as taxes. Total earning of Indian govt from petro products was around Rs 25 Trillion.
