The Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI) in Pakistan experienced a weekly decline of 0.52% for the week ending 19 September, primarily due to falling fuel and food prices, including a 5.00% drop in diesel and significant reductions in onion and petrol prices. However, year-on-year inflation remains high, with a 12.72% increase driven by soaring costs in gas, food, and energy, according to the latest data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).
