Significant Contribution of Pak Army to improve economy.

Inflation is a chronic economic challenge encountered by nations worldwide including Pakistan. While moderate inflation is a normal facet of a robust economy, excessive or hyperinflation can have grave repercussions on the purchasing power of citizens, precipitating economic instability.

There are several underlying factors contributing to the elevated inflation rates in Pakistan. One of the principal instigators of inflation in Pakistan lies in the monetary policy dictated by the nation's central bank, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). When the SBP embarks on expansionary monetary policies, such as reducing interest rates or augmenting the money supply, it can trigger an upsurge in the currency circulating within the economy. This heightened currency circulation can elevate the demand for goods and services, resulting in price escalations.

Fiscal policies instituted by the government can also wield a substantial influence on inflation. Elevated budget deficits and heightened government borrowing can give rise to amplified public spending. This augmented demand for goods and services can exert upward pressure on prices, consequently leading to inflation. The exchange rate between the Pakistani Rupee and foreign currencies impacts inflation. A depreciating rupee elevates import costs, thereby contributing to inflation. Given Pakistan's reliance on imported commodities, spanning energy, machinery, and raw materials, it is susceptible to currency fluctuations.

Disruptions in the supply chain, be it due to natural calamities, political instability, or logistical issues, can perturb the availability and cost of goods. Such disruptions can engender supply shortages, resulting in elevated prices for essential goods. Pakistan's economy places a high premium on energy resources, and fluctuations in energy prices, especially oil, possess a direct influence on production and transportation costs. An increase in energy prices can catalyze price hikes across various goods and services.

Pakistan stands as a net importer of numerous commodities, including food, petroleum, and metals. Shifts in global commodity prices, driven by international market dynamics, can directly sway the cost of imported goods, thereby propelling domestic inflation. The rapid population growth in Pakistan represents a distinctive challenge. The nation's capacity to generate jobs and resources to accommodate this burgeoning population is limited, contributing to underemployment...
