Questions
Where do these prices come from?
From the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics' weekly Sensitive Price Indicator. PBS staff record prices in markets in 17 cities every Thursday and publish them the next day. We import the official data file and link to each release.
Why is my local shop's price different?
These are averages across several markets in each city on one day. Prices vary between shops, brands and neighbourhoods, and can change during the week.
Are these minimum wages?
No. They are typical market rates recorded by PBS for a day's work. The legal minimum wage is set separately by each province.
