Inflation in the country has reached a record high of 21.3 percent over 13 years which is 13.8 percent higher than last year. Inflation has become a huge problem for the citizens which is increasing by every passing day rather than moving towards stability and facilitating the public. Latest increase in fuel price has acted as an oil bomb on the people which resulted in raising voices against current government and their strict measures.
According to ARY News, rise of 19.8 percent in inflation has been seen in urban areas, while in case of rural areas, inflation has been increased by 23.6 percent.

ملک میں مہنگائی کی شرح 21.3 کی بلند ترین سطح پر پہنچ گئی، اس امپورٹڈ حکومت کے آنے کے بعد سے ملکی معیشت کی تباہی اور عوام کو مہنگائی کے سیلاب میں دکھیلنے کا نہ رکنے والا سلسلہ جاری ہے۔
