Not an accident, these are results: PM Shehbaz on inflation drop

ISLAMABAD: In a recent meeting of the Federal Cabinet, a comprehensive review of the country’s political and economic landscape was conducted. The session also saw the endorsement of decisions made by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC).

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif addressed the Cabinet, highlighting some positive developments. He noted that inflation has decreased significantly, falling below 10 per cent, compared to 27 per cent during the same period last year.

He attributed this progress to the efforts of his team and said that while reducing expenses must be expedited, the overall burden of inflation is diminishing.
