Inflation will remain high for the medium term. This PDM government has no control over it. Maybe the Chief economist has some ideas!!!
PDM answer is to start a Sovereign Wealth Fund so everybody can raid one place and steal money from one entity vs. taking it out of multiple organizations.
I thought when I first read the Wealth Fund, it was a satire piece.
The whole principle of a wealth fund is to take windfall wealth and redploy it for other purposes. This is what the Norwegians do and recently Ireland has started to because of windfall tax revenues from foreign corporations based there.
Where is Pakistan's windfall?

Pakistan plans to launch Rs 2.3 trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund but how will price determination take place?
The Ministry of Finance is setting up a sovereign fund but price discovery will be an issue going forward.profit.pakistantoday.com.pk

Well donewhat PDM + Chachoo whisky don't understand is inflation is linked to supply side polices.. investment, law and order, contract enforcement, corruption, fair play for business , competition , good governance etc all lend into Lower prices. the problem people because of low level education don't understand these concepts
eg
- higher corruption mean business will have to pass on the extra cost to consumers
- restricting competition eg DHA etc means that near monopoly conditions exist thus home buyers have less choice have to pay more
- bad governance means investment doesn't come and new products and existing supply via increased production lines is stifled
- poor police security means more private security which means business will just pass additional costs to customers
I can go on ...but high inflation in Pakistan will never end as long as PDM & Chachoo whisky policies continues and it will continue as they are criminals.
