Pakistan's Bureau of Statistics reported last week that the inflation rate increased to 14.6 percent in January from 12.6 percent in the previous month, the highest level in 12 years. Inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), is 1.97 times higher than the previous month. Last time, the highest inflation in the country was recorded at 17pc in the year 2007-08. The data released showed that high food prices, especially wheat and flour, pulses, sugar, jaggery and edible oil, were the biggest drivers of overall inflation in January.
