Pakistani People Fed Up with rises prices under Maryem Nawaz Punjab Government

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

The initiative started in Imran Khan's government to focus on DAM construction in Pakistan for water conservation , it is fact

Together with interest from a Supreme court judge of that time

The People's initiative was matched with Government Funding much later
which is also "Money from People's Tax"

Welcoming July in Maryem Nawaz Term

Petrol increase by 8.36 rupee further
Diesal increase by another 10.36 rupee further




The earlier chart I shared will go up again in just 30 days

I think there is some dissonance here and particularly the claim of "85%".
The inflation is the lowest ever (meaning affordability is as good as it has ever been in Pakistan and this is backed up by local and foreign sourced data and I do NOT credit the current government for it as a lot of external factors are at play here as well). Anecdotally speaking, the markets and restaurants are packed with consumers and weddings, even those of lower middle and middle class, are fairly opulent events.
I certainly think there is dire poverty in Pakistan but I think we need a better gauge instead of these anecdotal interviews. The way questions are posed to people, the demographic that is asked such questions, all of these have a hand in painting the picture a particular way.

You clearly don't understand what inflation is.

Inflation is the RATE of increase in prices. if inflation goes down from 10 to 1% it doesn't mean that the prices themselves fell. Inflation past few yrs since regime change is 22%. That means prices have practically doubled since then (rule of 72). Tell me, have wages doubled since then as well?

This ignorance & economic illiteracy among so called educated class especially faujeets and patwaris is why the economy is a complete clown show.

Average inflation rate Pakistan| Statista

In 2025, the average inflation rate in Pakistan was 4.49 percent.

Right now we're sitting at 5% inflation. That's WITH the industry being completely muzzled and consumer demand being at rock bottom. I'm not even going to take into account the number fudging pmln does. Have wages increased by 5% this yr?

Country’s June inflation likely to remain between 3-4pc: finance ministry

Analyst says projected numbers in line with expectations; report says that outlook for LSM appears to be positive.

Where do private firms like AKD etc. sit in their assessment of the inflation rate?

I am not an economist so I can't wax eloquence on the numbers.

However as a layperson, I would think the same applies to any country simply because prices have gone up universally. Case in point: Milk in the United States. From the 1960s to now, the consumer price for a gallon of milk has gone up through the roof ($0.30 -> ~$4!). There was a similar study about the cost of a McDonalds meal in the 1990s compared to today. Easily more than 100% increase.
So, I am not sure if the CPI of 149 vs. 152 is that different. Let's be reasonable and fair. Doodh ki nadiyan nahi beh raheen theen IK k daur may. Prices for power etc. are also dependent on the IMF program. Clearly, each government picks and chooses what levers serve them best.

Things are marginally different across the terms of various governments but everyone pays it (I am kidding, they never pay, they push the problem) forward, meaning passing the buck to the future generation.

Bro...

1. What's Imran Khan got to do with anything? He's been out of power for 3.5 years and in prison for 2.

2. Milk in the US has gone up in price, but so has the people's ability to afford it. 25 years ago in the UK minimum wage was £6 per hour, today it's £12 per hour.

The price of milk has gone up from 34p a pint to 60p. In 2022 it was 42p.

In the UK we have this thing called a consumer price index. I copied the below from Google.

The Retail Prices Index (RPI) is a measure of inflation in the UK, reflecting the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by households. While it was previously the main measure of inflation, it has been largely superseded by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). RPI is still published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and is used in certain contexts like the uprating of some tax allowances and index-linked gilts.
Key aspects of the Retail Prices Index:
What it measures:
RPI tracks the average change in prices of a basket of goods and services, including items like food, housing, transport, and leisure activities.
How it's calculated:
The ONS calculates RPI monthly based on data collected from various sources.
Use cases:
RPI is used in private contracts for uprating maintenance payments and housing rents, and in wage bargaining.
Relationship with CPI:
RPI is not the primary measure of inflation used by the government for most purposes. The CPI is now the preferred measure.
RPI vs CPI:
RPI tends to be higher than CPI because it includes housing costs like mortgage interest payments, which are not included i n the CPI.

We need something similar to accurately measure the impact of inflation - regardless of who is in charge.

And I just googled - Pakistan does indeed have a CPI and it's not pretty.

Bottom line is, we don't have an inflation resistant economy, we don't have a welfare state and we don't have enough economic opportunities to help rise people away from poverty.

Since 2022 my personal fixed monthly expenditure has risen around £700 a month. Alhamdulillah I had the monthly disposal income to absorb that hit.

If the same happened again I wouldn't be able too.

We need to have people in an economic position where they can absorb inflation, we need successful businesses that can pay higher wages, we need indigenous industries so our essentials are not linked to global prices rises, we need greater energy independence.

None of this is going to happen overnight, but it's certainly not going to happen when we the people pick different elitist cunts to represent us - or they are imposed on us.

Billionaires aren't bothered by the price of bread.

 

[Jango007]

Yes but no one's looking at what's going in the scum class.

Mian Sahab Sharif loves you too

I dont like saanp.....I kill them.

 

[Starlord]

Pakistani people are fed up with a lot of things but they can't do j@ck about it.

 

[kambhakt]

It's ironic your countrymen literally call us beggars on government level yet slight whiff of Lakshmi and lo behold an Indian.

Your government may be beggars. Not the Memons.

 

[Fatman17]

yeah, inflation being low doesnt mean that prices have gone down. whatever increase they occurred is still in place. while salaries havent increased. purchasing power has gone down, not up. and more taxes, including GST, have been imposed by the govt in new budget.

We're Friday Kit Dad (FKD)

 

[S.Y.A]

We have never defaulted. Competitiveness is only possible when we implement a recovery plan comprehensively thus my point about staying in an IMF program and implementing it completely. If that is not acceptable, then the GoP has to come up with an alternate recovery program. None is on the horizon currently or even in the past with the previous 5 governments.

who will implement the recovery program? people who themselves have vested interests? people like zardari? geniuses like maryam bibi? khwaja asif? rana sanaullah? or fawad chaudhary and gandapur from PTI?

 

[S.Y.A]

The last three Kashmir conflicts have shown that conventional readiness cannot be ignored and under invested in just because there is a credible nuclear deterrence. Same goes for the Ukraine-Russian war.

we could have put an end to the legal plunder of state treasury by bureaucrats, generals and judges. all receiving heavy allowances and incentives. could have saved a few billion rupees each year. for example, the military guys will receive an additional 50% allowance from now on. there is absolutely no need for that. the civil service and executive departments receive an executive allowance equal 100% of salary. this is on top of the houses, vehicles etc they receive.

Inflation can be tammed in two ways

1. Slow the demand side by increasing the interest rate

2. Increase the supply side as the competition and efficiency will tame the price (industry, entrepreneurship, infrastructure, distribution, etc)


Pakistan needs to do the point number 2

I see Pakistan set higher import tax to tam trade deficit. The higher inflation is the consequence of this. It needs time to let domestic industry grow due to the tarrif protection policy

Translating for International Audience so reality of our fake government gets exposed , all those politicians that fly around in private jet to Europe and USA to eat Dinners and attend Lavish Parties
PTV (Pakistan Television will never Air this)
Private Channel will show Drama about Rich Guys fighting over Heroin, In Law vs Wife stories

Translation
"Same old Stories in Punjab , we can't even feed Milk to our Children
My Children now are 14 year old , however I could not easily provide them
a glass of a milk , Milk is a Luxury (in Agricultural Pakistan). Why because I am from Poor Man in Pakistan , every day I wake up early go to work (halal income) and even then I can't buy Milk in today's inflation

When Politicians control their government , no one thinks about the People at ground level , it is not us current generation but the our future generations are also in debt now

Man Crises , and asks the Reporter to go ask other people as well
And repeats again , crying , we can't afford to buy Milk. My 5 year old , has not even seen what Milk looks like (Wipes his tear)

I work 12 hours sometimes I even work 16 hours but at end of day our situation does not change because of rising inflation

-Translation End-


This is our Reality !! This is 85% of Pakistan
