ISLAMABAD, April 1 — Pakistan’s year-on-year inflation hit 35.37 per cent in March — the highest in nearly five decades — as the government scrambled to meet International Monetary Fund conditions to unlock a desperately needed bailout.
Years of financial mismanagement and political instability have pushed Pakistan’s economy to the brink of collapse, exacerbated by a global energy crisis and devastating floods that submerged a third of the country in 2022. Poor Pakistanis are feeling the brunt of the economic turmoil, and at least 20 people have been killed since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in crowd crushes at food distribution centres.
At least 12 people were killed Friday in a crowd crush in Pakistan’s southern city of Karachi at a factory distributing Ramadan alms.
