Amid worsening economic conditions in Pakistan, the people continue to suffer from economic hardships, especially rampant inflation and the unemployment crisis, which has made even basic facilities and essentials remain out of their reach. A Karachi resident, Ashraf Khan, lamented the current situation and said the economic woes are causing damage to people with their incomes falling continuously.
“The current economic situation in Pakistan is causing damage to the people and all this is due to wrong actions and decisions of the government. The government may say that the inflation rates are falling in Pakistan but, it is even more crucial to consider that, what is the purchasing power of the people in the country and what is the status of the job market,” Khan said.
“The income of the common public today continues to fall due to fewer jobs in the market. The people have been suffering from high inflation in Pakistan for so long that the so-called claims of the government of reduced inflation are not visible at all,” he added.
Lamenting the economic downfall, he further stated that the Pakistgovernment needs to understand that the non-productive expenditure has reached an “extreme” level and it doesn’t seem to be getting better any time soon.
