Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan today said that the country's inflation is the only problem keeping him awake at night.
The Pakistani premier revealed this while replying to questions from the general public live on air during a programme called "Aap Ka Wazir-e-Azam, Aap Kay Saath".
Answering a question about Pakistan's skyrocketing inflation, the premier explained that it was the only problem that "kept [him] awake at night".
Khan, however, also stressed that the current inflation was a "global phenomenon". "When we came into government, we had to deal with a massive current account deficit [...] due to this, the prices of imports soared drastically."
He said that the world was facing a supply shortage due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"The US has spent $6,000 billion for the welfare of the people during the pandemic and we spent $8 billion. We must compare the situation of both countries."
He added that the United Kingdom was facing record inflation and the same was the case with other European countries. He called on the media to keep a "balanced approach" when discussing inflation and to inform citizens of the situation across the world.
"The pandemic is something that occurs once in a 100 years and has caused all countries to suffer."
He noted that the salaried class was the most affected due to inflation in Pakistan. On the other hand, the income of labourers increased by 40-60 percent while corporate profits had also soared.
