Inflation in Pakistan, Economic Stabilization & Business Competitiveness

Understanding the major drivers of inflation in Pakistan is crucial, as they are
pushing the cost of living beyond affordability. We urgently need better economic stabilization plans and supply side improvements.

Making sense of the persistent issues plaguing state owned enterprises and private businesses. In order for Pakistani businesses to be globally competitive and contribute to the country's growth, it is imperative to address pertinent issues ranging from lack of innovation to bureaucratic inefficiencies to regulatory constraints.

Why is it so difficult to understand one simple fact. That when government is your single largest borrower from banks then there will be no money left for Industry or consumer to borrow. Because inherently their risk is higher for a bank and so banks always prefer lending to the government. In this scenario you can't have growth as the industry is starved for funds and without productivity increase and growth there is no control on inflation . Vicious cycle that only the government can break by reducing its borrowing by shrinking in size.

Billa malaie kah jata he G2G barrowing internally 1400 PSDPs, subsidies and corporations burdens on inflation not deflationery.

PIDE people sure love free market capitalism. It's more than couple of problems that's contributing to inflation. First, the inefficient agriculture sector where productivity is very low. Second, increasing population, every year Pakistan adds New Zealand amount of new people to it's population. Third, SBP not being really independent. Just take the current scenario now. The inflation is somewhat under control and forex reserves are also better but you don't see SBP lowering the rates. I bet SBP doesn't have policy autonomy. Fourth, high energy costs.
