@Ali_Syed

the headline seems misleading as well, GDP increases 5 %. Has it increased to 5 %, or increased 5 % from the previous years quarter of the corresponding period (2.9 %)

Even though these numbers are coming from the SBP, theres little doubt who engineers these figures, and what pressure tactics are used to force SBP to show the govt in a positive light.
If inflation is to be calculated on a similarly small time scale, then there have been more than a couple of months where the inflation rate has been more than 25% over the last 8 months.
