Despite a decrease in overall inflation, the prices of 19 essential items have risen over the past week.

According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, potatoes, rice, bananas, beef, garlic, and eggs are affected. This price increase contrasts with the decrease experienced by 13 other items, illustrating a mixed economic situation.

Significant factors influencing inflation include tax increases in the federal budget and higher electricity prices resulting from the IMF’s conditions. Nevertheless, the government’s efforts have reduced the inflation rate to 14.07%, although weekly data indicates a 0.15% decrease.

Pakistan has witnessed four consecutive weeks of falling weekly inflation. For the week ending Sep 05, 2024, SPI fell by 0.15% WoW.
