people who even don’t know the meaning of Politics. And the world
Economical recession has also hit a Pakistan due to Inflation,
Unemployment.
Historical Background
The 1980s were a decade of relatively low average inflation (7.2 per
cent). Private sector borrowing, exchange rate depreciation and
adaptive expectations were the main factors behind this growth in
consumer prices. De-nationalization enlarged the private sector and,
as a consequence, private sector borrowing increased during this
period.
In 1990s, the mainstream liberalization policies picked up momentum.
Frequent changes in the government, inconsistent policies, nuclear
explosion and other dramatic political and economic developments
put upward pressure on prices. Average inflation rate increased to 9.6
per cent. Increase in wheat procurement prices, government and
private sector borrowings, exchange rate depreciation and adaptive
expectations were the main factors behind the surge in inflation rate.

Generally the whole world is effecting the problem of prices alike, but
in Pakistan it has become a severs problem with more than 11%
inflation rate per annum, which is the highest in the world. It is
considered that inflation rate from 2 to 3% is necessary for the
proper growth of economy but if it exceeds from this limit, then it
becomes menace. The major cause of increase in the price level is
an increase in currency or credit money. Increase in stock of money
induces people to demand more goods and service. The policy of
deficit financing has led to increase the quantity of money in the
country particularly after 1972. In January 1193 currency in circulation
was Rs 166 billion which has gone up to Rs 834 billion in June 2007.
