Pakistan's inflation rises to 31.4% y/y amid high energy prices
Pakistan's inflation rate clocked in at 31.4% year-on-year in September, rising from 27.4% in August, statistics bureau data showed on Monday, as the nation reels from high fuel and energy prices. The country is embarking on a tricky path to economic recovery under a caretaker government after a $3 billion loan programme approved by the International Monetary Fund in July averted a sovereign debt default, but with conditions that complicated efforts to rein in inflation. On a month-on-month basis, inflation climbed 2% in September, compared to an increase of 1.7% in August Reforms required by the IMF bailout, including an easing of import restrictions and a demand that subsidies be removed, have already fuelled annual inflation, which rose to a record 38.0% in May. Interest rates have also risen to their highest at 22%, and the rupee hit all-time lows in August before recovering in September to become the best performing currency following a clampdown by authorities on unregulated FX trade. On Friday, the ministry of finance said in its monthly report that it anticipated inflation remaining high in the coming month, hovering around 29-31% due to an upward adjustment in energy tariffs and a major increase in fuel prices. The report added that inflation was, however, expected to ease, especially from the second half of the current fiscal year that starts on Jan. 1. On Saturday Pakistan cut petrol and diesel prices from a record high, after two consecutive hikes.

Canada has banned only Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, though India has several times urged it to ban five other pro-Khalistan groups that operate on foreign soil though proscribed under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. Canada's counter terrorism division included BKI and ISYF in the designated terror outfits' list in 2003 and upheld the decision in 2018 even after a review. India has been urging Canada to ban Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) and Khalistan Liberation Force.
