Sir: As reported the inflation rate has ceased its upward trend and is at its lowest rate — seven percent — compared to the same period in he previous year. During the 14 months of this government there have been some healthy macroeconomic symbolic and real gestures which economists have analysed. Lowering the inflation rate is one of the definite economic indicators that reflect that the economic policy is rightly working to provide goods and services to the masses with maximum possible ease and facility. It is hoped that the government will soon be able to overcome the ongoing political turmoil so that the long-term journey of economic progress and prosperity is not hindered by such damaging images of the country.
