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?

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.
