Rising inflation poses fresh challenge to Pakistan's economic stability claims

بڑھتی مہنگائی پاکستان کے معاشی استحکام کے دعووں کے لیے نیا چیلنج بن گئی

बढ़ती महंगाई पाकिस्तान के आर्थिक स्थिरता के दावों के लिए नई चुनौती बन गई

Rising inflation poses fresh challenge to Pakistan's economic stability claims

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Rising inflation is posing a fresh challenge to Pakistan's claims of macroeconomic stability, with food and energy prices remaining persistently high.
  • The government set an annual inflation target of 8.2 percent for the current fiscal year, but inflation has stayed near double digits from July to October, and the finance ministry has warned it could run between 9.5 and 10.5 percent for October.
  • Official data shows high-speed diesel rose to 402 rupees a litre in October from 277 rupees a year earlier, while petrol climbed to 390 rupees from 264 rupees.
  • بڑھتی مہنگائی پاکستان کے معاشی استحکام کے دعووں کے لیے نیا چیلنج بن گئی ہے، کیونکہ خوراک اور توانائی کی قیمتیں مسلسل بلند ہیں۔ حکومت نے رواں مالی سال کے لیے سالانہ مہنگائی کا ہدف 8.2 فیصد رکھا تھا، لیکن جولائی سے اکتوبر تک مہنگائی دوہرے ہندسوں کے قریب رہی، اور وزارت خزانہ نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ اکتوبر میں یہ 9.5 سے 10.5 فیصد کے درمیان رہ سکتی ہے۔ سرکاری اعداد کے مطابق اکتوبر میں ہائی اسپیڈ ڈیزل 277 روپے سے بڑھ کر 402 روپے فی لیٹر ہو گیا، جبکہ پیٹرول 264 روپے سے بڑھ کر 390 روپے ہو گیا۔ مرکزی بینک نے اس ہفتے مشرق وسطیٰ کے تنازعے اور عالمی توانائی کی بلند قیمتوں سے پیدا ہونے والے مہنگائی کے دباؤ کے باعث شرح سود 50 بیسس پوائنٹس بڑھا کر 12 فیصد کر دی۔
  • बढ़ती महंगाई पाकिस्तान के व्यापक आर्थिक स्थिरता के दावों के लिए नई चुनौती बन गई है, क्योंकि खाद्य और ऊर्जा की कीमतें लगातार ऊंची बनी हुई हैं। सरकार ने चालू वित्त वर्ष के लिए वार्षिक महंगाई का लक्ष्य 8.2 प्रतिशत रखा था, लेकिन जुलाई से अक्टूबर तक महंगाई दोहरे अंकों के करीब रही, और वित्त मंत्रालय ने चेतावनी दी है कि अक्टूबर में यह 9.5 से 10.5 प्रतिशत के बीच रह सकती है। आधिकारिक आंकड़ों के अनुसार अक्टूबर में हाई-स्पीड डीजल 277 रुपये से बढ़कर 402 रुपये प्रति लीटर हो गया, जबकि पेट्रोल 264 रुपये से बढ़कर 390 रुपये हो गया। केंद्रीय बैंक ने इस सप्ताह मध्य पूर्व संघर्ष और वैश्विक ऊर्जा की ऊंची कीमतों से पैदा हुए महंगाई दबाव के बीच नीतिगत दर 50 आधार अंक बढ़ाकर 12 प्रतिशत कर दी।

Rising inflation is posing a fresh challenge to Pakistan's claims of macroeconomic stability, with food and energy prices remaining persistently high. The government set an annual inflation target of 8.2 percent for the current fiscal year, but inflation has stayed near double digits from July to October, and the finance ministry has warned it could run between 9.5 and 10.5 percent for October. Official data shows high-speed diesel rose to 402 rupees a litre in October from 277 rupees a year earlier, while petrol climbed to 390 rupees from 264 rupees. The central bank raised its policy rate by 50 basis points to 12 percent this week amid inflation pressures fuelled by the Middle East conflict and high global energy prices.

بڑھتی مہنگائی پاکستان کے معاشی استحکام کے دعووں کے لیے نیا چیلنج بن گئی ہے، کیونکہ خوراک اور توانائی کی قیمتیں مسلسل بلند ہیں۔ حکومت نے رواں مالی سال کے لیے سالانہ مہنگائی کا ہدف 8.2 فیصد رکھا تھا، لیکن جولائی سے اکتوبر تک مہنگائی دوہرے ہندسوں کے قریب رہی، اور وزارت خزانہ نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ اکتوبر میں یہ 9.5 سے 10.5 فیصد کے درمیان رہ سکتی ہے۔ سرکاری اعداد کے مطابق اکتوبر میں ہائی اسپیڈ ڈیزل 277 روپے سے بڑھ کر 402 روپے فی لیٹر ہو گیا، جبکہ پیٹرول 264 روپے سے بڑھ کر 390 روپے ہو گیا۔ مرکزی بینک نے اس ہفتے مشرق وسطیٰ کے تنازعے اور عالمی توانائی کی بلند قیمتوں سے پیدا ہونے والے مہنگائی کے دباؤ کے باعث شرح سود 50 بیسس پوائنٹس بڑھا کر 12 فیصد کر دی۔

बढ़ती महंगाई पाकिस्तान के व्यापक आर्थिक स्थिरता के दावों के लिए नई चुनौती बन गई है, क्योंकि खाद्य और ऊर्जा की कीमतें लगातार ऊंची बनी हुई हैं। सरकार ने चालू वित्त वर्ष के लिए वार्षिक महंगाई का लक्ष्य 8.2 प्रतिशत रखा था, लेकिन जुलाई से अक्टूबर तक महंगाई दोहरे अंकों के करीब रही, और वित्त मंत्रालय ने चेतावनी दी है कि अक्टूबर में यह 9.5 से 10.5 प्रतिशत के बीच रह सकती है। आधिकारिक आंकड़ों के अनुसार अक्टूबर में हाई-स्पीड डीजल 277 रुपये से बढ़कर 402 रुपये प्रति लीटर हो गया, जबकि पेट्रोल 264 रुपये से बढ़कर 390 रुपये हो गया। केंद्रीय बैंक ने इस सप्ताह मध्य पूर्व संघर्ष और वैश्विक ऊर्जा की ऊंची कीमतों से पैदा हुए महंगाई दबाव के बीच नीतिगत दर 50 आधार अंक बढ़ाकर 12 प्रतिशत कर दी।
