The primary driver is not the military leadership, if it were not the military, it would be another faction, for this problem exists all over the world where the elites, the one percent, are capturing all the wealth, and the people are getting poorer and poorer, albeit in different countries the problem exists to varying degrees, and that problem is the Secular-Capitalist System and the American hegemony of the World.

Pakistan is the fifth-largest country by population. It has the second-largest Muslim population and the fourth-largest Hindu population globally. Pakistan's GDP (PPP) is the second-largest in South Asia after India and ranks just behind Iran among neighboring Central Asian countries. Over 60% of its population is youth, and it has the fourth-largest English-speaking population worldwide. Pakistan’s society is relatively liberal compared to many Muslim-majority countries, and its people overwhelmingly favor democracy over dictatorship in all aspects of life. The country boasts some of the world's highest mountain peaks in the north, a vast agricultural belt and ecosystem around the Indus River and its tributaries, and a geographically ideal position for logistics, situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, India, China, and the Middle East. Its industrial landscape is diverse but outdated, though this is relatively easy to modernize. Pakistan holds substantial mineral, metal, and fossil fuel reserves. Despite limited resources and regulatory challenges, its service industry competes on a global scale. With improved policy development and sound macroeconomic strategies, Pakistan has tremendous potential to offer the world across many fields. May its leaders recognize the wealth of opportunities within the country and employ skilled resources to realize this potential, to make pragmatic decisions rather than blunders driven by emotion and ego.

Pakistan’s high inflation has deep roots in systemic issues like corruption, a lack of justice, political instability, army dominance, and uneducated or corrupt politicians. Together, these problems create an environment where economic growth is stifled, affecting everyone’s daily lives. Tackling these issues is essential if we want to see real change and stability in the country.
