City-wise inflation: Peshawar tops
Inflation in other capital cities was lower than the overall CPI inflation.
PESHAWAR:
City-wise inflation data of the federal and provincial capitals shows that consumer price index (CPI) inflation in Peshawar remained higher than overall inflation, whereas inflation in other capital cities was lower than the overall CPI inflation.
This shows that smaller cities were hit hard in the current episode of inflation, probably reflecting that supply to major urban centres was better than smaller towns.
