The price of everything has increased three times in the last 3-4 years. Especially after 2022.
While everyday items have almost doubled in price over these past 3 years luxury goods have been made into tax cash cows meanwhile the average income of Anyone Living in this country would range from as low as 8000 to 300000 while most of the workers make around 15-30k
These salaries haven't been increased with the inflation only those at the top seem to profiteering off of these new regulations the employers of small businesses can't raise salaries because their margins haven't been increased meanwhile the lower class keeps having to juggle b/w either paying for utilities or eating 3 meals per day life has gotten alot more miserable meanwhile the P.M will tell you Pakistan is well on its way to a new dawn also I don't believe the inflation rate shown on Google is accurate plus their are less investment opportunities in this country you can't even invest into foreign stocks without jumping through alot of hoops meanwhile the stock market in Pakistan looks like a joke in comparison for anyone looking to turn their rags into riches
