Pakistan: is it​ cost-push inflation? with cpi already spiking 11.8 percent for the first ten months of the fiscal​ year, the average cpi inflation for the same period last year stood at 22.35 percent. some economists insist the current bout of inflationary pressures is spawned by increasing prices of​ fuel, food, raw​ materials, ​transportation, construction​ materials, elimination of energy​ subsidies, etc as indicated by the spike in the wholesale price index​ (wpi), which rose 21.99 per cent in april from a year earlier.
