The price looks fair, doesn't show any massive inflation. If the food prices are stable or within regional range, then what's driving the inflation?

Imported items prices increasing sir .

@migflug

The prices quoted by @Imran Khan sb seem to be quite reasonable and comparable to IND prices. Maybe the prices were much lower last year?

Regards
Yes prices were lower and also gov removes subsidies so prices went up . Also floods affected crops so prices increased .

@Imran Khan sb

Imported items prices increasing sir .

Then largely avoid imports no? barring petroproducts (which is unavoidable)

The salaries i mentioned in INR READ AGAIN :lol:

I see. Why don't you mention the salaries in PKR ? That way it can be validated by others too.

Per capita income of pakistan in 2022 was USD 1658$ or Rs. 11,378 INR. per Month.

India per capita income in 2022 was USD 2320.4 $ or Rs. 15,922 INR per month.

Now compare the food prices to know the real picture.

These expats are a lost cause, really
A labourer's salary in a city like Rawalpindi is 15,000 PKR and they touch themselves on the official minimum wage which barely anyone would pay.
Mind you, most of Pakistan's economy is informal economy as they themselves would profess.
Now add to the mix the demand destruction and businesses shutting down/ reducing their production... you get a much worse picture, but who cares...


Btw, since PKR dropped; the prices on the first page have become more cheaper than yesterday, haha
Yeah go rawalpindi as see how much even rikshow charging . You guys talk like you have very strong connections in rawalpindi . No one is taking less then 700 per day now not even loweest labor.

Imported items for rich public sir . Dont you see they cant open LC last month for anything but then opened LC for 250 luxury cars .


Problem is rich elite using resources and poor paying it . Luxury items must be banned . 100mn$ tissue really ? 4bn$ makeup items ?

The salaries for India quoted by @Libexer is right as far as towns are concerned. However, there are large pockets of tribal hamlets and villages in parts of BIMARU states where wages are much lower. Having said that, the GoI pitches in with 5 kg of rice/wheat per month free of cost (until Dec they were paying Rs. 2/kg) to almost 80 crore people. And from anecdotal evidence it seems that the grain distribution is working free of all leakage. In addition, many states dole out additional food stuff like pulses and cooking oils (varies from state to state), free bijlee (about 50-200 units per month). In addition, all school going children get mid day meals (sometimes milk as well). That is why there isnt a huge outcry about food inflation in India yet

Pretty sure the salaries mentioned for pakistan was in cities as well. Do you really think those salaries will be paid in pakistani villages in Baluchistan and NWFP ?

BTW AVERAGE Rural earning in India (2022) for Men was Rs. 14,257 INR.

Do you think people work on salaries in villages and towns ? Why not a guy start ciggrate toffee small shop or a fruit veggi cart rather then salary ? Salary work is for cities mostly .

I can post 10000 such cases when people work for food in india too .

In India, 82% Male And 92% Female Workers Earn Less Than ₹10,000 Per Month: Report​

That is a Strange question to ask me !!!

YOU are the one who mentioned pakistani salaries.

I merely TRANSLATED those MENTIONED salaries into Indian Rupee since the grocery prices you mentioned are in Indian Rupee.

You are now moving the goalpost and claiming that the minimum income is as per the "law" and everybody complies with the "law".


LOl, you converted the already converted into INR of Pak Rupee into Indian INR. this is really funny.

Good for you guys if food is minimum wage in india

I posted prices to get input of inflaution not dick messure here . But few ind and pak kids turn it ind vs pakistan as they always do .
 
. .
Food is free and a minimum wage of even 9000 INR in India translates to 27000+ PKR in Pakistan, so don't try to act smart with me.
Yes i know its free on streets no one eat hahhahha bus ker de ab backchodi ki

Per capita income parity is not an ideal metric to measure the BPL people earning and super rich class.

Its not that lowest of the low Below povery line(BPL) people are getting the income shown as per capita income.

As it includes the super rich and all so the divided income doesn't trickle down to the poor as shown in the per capita income.

India rich upper middle/upper upper class is about 3.5 times the size of Pakistan with a population which is 6.5 time higher, numbers not the actual income of rich as obviously rich are much richer there like Ambanis, Adanis and likes.

And that leaves the lower income BPL numbers swell as well compared to Pakistan.
