Pakistan Economy, Inflation & Livelihood I Tough Situations

We have experienced consistently high inflation rates in the country. Concerns for high inflation are strident in our political debate. Government suggestions are to strong-arm the market - a method that has universally failed.
IMF asks for a reduction of the budget deficit, yet the government remains reluctant. Twenty-four programs later, the control of the budget remains elusive. Expenditures continue to grow. Haphazard attempts to increase taxes slow down investment and growth while the informal economy grows.
- What are the primary drivers of inflation in Pakistan?
- What is the impact of inflation on livelihoods?
- What about inflation hedges? Who has access to them?
- What has been the government's role in either the rise or the control of inflation?
- SBP independence was granted to prevent inflation from accelerating.
- Is there any accountability?
- What is the evaluation of where monetary policy was relaxed?

Very imp point 29:00 to 32:00 shows why monetary policy becomes ineffective

To maintain time of the program, the facilitator produced a sense of rush. At times, it felt even insulting to the speakers of the moment ( including those who were asking questions).
If time was so limited, why inviting so many questions? Why not limit the scope of the discussion?
The discussion felt rushed and incomplete.

Very irritating moderator, kept hijacking the points guests were trying to communicate and with each interval adding his own point of view. Very rude, disrespectful and unprofessional. He shouldn't be allowed to moderate in the future.
