Pakistan’s economic conditions are deteriorating rapidly with no end in sight. Our textile industry has almost died and there is no more heavy industry due to a complex web of problems. These include load-shedding of electricity and gas, and now that of petrol as well.
One of the main problems that the citizens are facing is price hike and inflation that has rendered millions unable to pay for basic necessities. A single note worth 100 rupees is now more valuable than a person’s life. Rather than helping them out in this situation, the economic mandarins of the country are busy in finding ways to just stay afloat with the help of more foreign debts.
