Government Raises Gas Prices Again, Squeezing Struggling Pakistanis

The government has again raised petrol prices, further diminishing consumer spending power in an already high-inflation economy.
This places the government in a difficult political position as it tries to satisfy IMF loan requirements while avoiding public backlash.
It is unclear how the government plans to assist ordinary Pakistanis struggling with basics while begging for more foreign aid.
The government is unlikely to make efforts to raise revenues internally from the wealthy and corporations.
The poor and middle class will continue paying the price while the rich avoid taxes and enjoy subsidies and luxury.
