Government Claims Economic Victory as Inflation Falls to 1.5%, Opposition Remains Skeptical
Islamabad, March 4, 2025 – The ruling government has hailed a major economic achievement as inflation drops to 1.5%, down from a staggering 23.1% last year. Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar described the development as “nothing short of a miracle,” crediting the government’s economic policies for stabilizing the market.
Tarar also highlighted that interest rates have fallen to 2%, while the stock market continues to climb, reflecting growing investor confidence. He compared the current inflation rate to September 2015, when it stood at 1.3%, emphasizing that the country is witnessing a historic economic turnaround.
However, opposition parties have dismissed the government’s claims, questioning the sustainability of these figures and arguing that inflation relief has not yet reached the common people. Critics accuse the government of manipulating statistics to paint a rosy picture ahead of upcoming political battles.
With the economy taking center stage in national discourse, the debate over real economic progress versus political narratives is set to intensify. Will these economic gains translate into long-term stability, or is this just a temporary relief? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for further political updates.
