Recently, Pakistan has been hit hard by an economic crisis: the money in the national pocket is nearly depleted, prices are soaring like wild horses, and ordinary people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

The country is out of money, and external debts are suffocating.

Although the government previously tried to ease the situation, the national bank's foreign exchange reserves are now down to about 1.5 billion dollars — not enough even for normal imports, let alone dealing with the domestic economic mess.

Adding to the competitive pressure from neighboring India, Pakistan is truly 'caught in a storm'.

The shopping basket is getting heavier! These prices are outrageous.

The prices of food and drinks are all rising, directly doubling ordinary household expenses:

  • Chicken: 798 rupees per kilogram (the money that used to buy 3 kg can now only buy 1 kg)

  • Rice: 336 rupees per kilogram (the money for one bag of rice used to be enough for two bags)

  • Eggs: 332 rupees per dozen (12 eggs are more expensive than a meal)

  • Milk: 225 rupees per liter (one bottle of milk costs as much as half a salary)

  • Apples: 288 rupees per kilogram (ordinary families can't afford to buy much)

  • Onions: 188 rupees per kilogram (must be used sparingly in cooking)


Prices that were once unimaginable are now displayed every day in the market; common people have to weigh repeatedly what to buy first.

Society is starting to 'boil'! Theft and conflicts may arise again.

Things are getting more expensive, and more people cannot afford them, leading to increasing troubles. There are already signs of panic buying in some places; if prices continue to rise, there may be more people fighting over supplies and causing conflicts.

What's even scarier is that the inflation rate reached 20% in 2021, and the trend is still rising; the crisis will only get worse.

If no solutions are found soon, the country will truly descend into chaos.

Current Pakistan is like standing on the edge of a cliff: wallets are empty, prices are soaring, and the common people are complaining. If the government doesn't come up with real solutions soon, such as controlling prices and addressing the foreign exchange gap, social unrest will likely intensify, making life even harder for ordinary people.


Can Pakistan survive this major economic test? Everyone is watching the government's actions.
