Talking to a private news channel, he said that alleviation of poverty and steering the neglected section of society out of their backwardness was among the government’s top most priorities. The government is adopting a coordinated mechanism to bring prices down and improve supplies of the commodities by anticipating shortages to benefit poor, he added. Replying to a question, he informed that inflation rate was lowest in Pakistan as compared to the other countries of the world, adding, Covid-19 had badly affected production of commodities and supply chain that has resulted in inflation across the world.
