[Imad.Khan]

That is what happens when charssi comes to power. Only charas and cocaine prices go down.

Sounds like you are very versed in the prices of charas and cocaine, must have personnel experience.

The rising food inflation in Pakistan seems to be the Achilles Heels of the Govt, even after repeated promises of strict NOTICES taken to control it. The lower Middle class seems to be taking the brunt of it as many of them are diving into the below the poverty line. The next few years might be the toughest the general public may have ever endured.

On the Consumer items things havent been that brilliant either.
Consumer prices in Pakistan went up 9.70 percent in June of 2021, slowing down from a 10.87 percent jump reported in the previous month, as cost advanced slower for food & non-alcoholic beverages (10.48 percent vs 14.83 percent in May); clothing &; footwear (9.96 percent vs 10.64 percent). In contrast, inflation picked up in housing & utilities (9.10 percent vs 8.44 percent); transport (17.40 percent vs 13.96 percent); restaurants & hotels (8.76 percent vs 8.58 percent); miscellaneous goods & services (10.90 percent vs 10.71 percent) and health (9.42 percent vs 9.03 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged down 0.24 percent, after a 0.1 percent increase in May

Inflation in the fuel sector is the most worrying part, as IMF is keen to raise the Electricity, Gas and Petroleum products prices much further. This will have a devastating domino effect on the rest of the consumer items, including Food.
Pakistan is a Hetrogeneus nation, it needs the collective wisdom of all stake holders. It will never be a one man show.

Only solution is for the Pak gov to create public owned suppliers to stock huge warehouses AND CONTROL SUPPLY AND DEMAND to keep inflation down. Also key businesses that affect people negatively should be nationalised.

Nationalization is not the solution. Already tried by ZAB and it destroyed the industry.

Another day another price rise, the IMF will scavenge every bit of the poor souls of Pakistan. More price hikes in the Utility stores this time.

Agreed, also the reason China is successful now is because they have diverted away from full fledged communism and now its a mixture of communism/capitalism.

Corruption killed the Soviet union off as the Oligarchs slowly took over. Capitalism isn't working in Pakistan so we need to dilute it and that is the only way forward unless you can up with a better workable solution other than put the looteras back in power?

 

[CIA Mole]

only solution is to remove all import barriers so food can flood in.

 

[SoulSpokesman]

2021 has seen global inflation in food prices. How can Pakistan be immune to it?
