Top Story December 13, 2020 LAHORE: Prime Minister Imran Khan Saturday greeted his team for bringing sugar price down from Rs102/kg to Rs81/kg through a multi-pronged strategy. He tweeted, “MashaAllah sugar is selling at a national average of Rs81 per kg vs. Rs102 per kg a month back. “I want to congratulate my team for bringing the sugar price down through a multi-pronged strategy.” In the past month, despite prime minister’s wish to control prices of wheat, wheat flour and sugar, the rates had remained high this year. In the case of wheat and wheat flour, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) reported a reduction in prices on a monthly basis, but the rates remained higher on a yearly basis. The federal government’s decision to import and export wheat and sugar had a direct bearing on the prices in the domestic market.
