On the other hand, the rising food prices had reportedly pushed inflation to 10.7 percent in the last fiscal year, which is now projected to slow to 7.5 percent this fiscal year.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Imran Khan stated that the government will use all resources to bring food prices down.
Starting Monday in coming week, our govt will use all the resources at the disposal of the state to bring down food prices, the premier tweeted, adding that the government is already examining causes of the price hikes: whether there is a genuine supply shortage or simply hoarding by mafias; smuggling, if any.
