Hey there! So, you know how things change when a new government comes into power? Well, in Pakistan, prices are going up, and it’s causing some concern. Let’s break it down.
What’s Happening?
The cost of living is getting higher, and fast! In just one week, prices went up by 1.35%. That might not sound like much, but when you look at it over a year, it adds up to a whopping 32.89% increase!
What’s Getting More Expensive?
Lots of things! Tomatoes, bananas, eggs, and garlic are all pricier now, especially with the start of the holy month. Tomatoes, for example, are now Rs 30 more per kilogram! And it’s not just food. Even things like LPG cylinders for cooking have gone up to Rs 146.71.
The Impact on Daily Life
Imagine your grocery bill going up every time you shop. That’s what’s happening with basic food items like beef and chicken. Beef prices went up by Rs 14 per kilogram, and chicken by Rs 6 per kilogram. It’s getting harder to make ends meet.
Any Good News?
Well, there’s a little. Some cooking oils and ghee are actually cheaper now. Branded edible oil costs Rs 29 less for a big container, and ghee is Rs 14 cheaper for a smaller pack. Also, a big bag of flour is Rs 26 less now. Every little bit helps, right?
Wrapping Up
So, that’s the deal with prices in Pakistan right now. It’s tough for a lot of people, and things are getting pricier by the week. Let’s hope things start looking up soon!
