The price of sugar in the country continues its upward spiral, with retail rates reaching as high as Rs200 per kilogram in major cities, the latest data released by the PBS showed on Saturday.
In its newly issued weekly price statistics, the PBS reported that the national average price of sugar has climbed to Rs188.44 per kg, marking a weekly increase of Rs3.52.
According to the statistics bureau, sugar has now crossed the Rs200/kg mark in Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, making it the most expensive sweetener in recent months and further burdening household budgets already strained by inflation.
