Between 2022 and 2024, Pakistan experienced some of the highest inflation in its history, peaking above 38% in May 2023. If you had Rs. 10L in a regular savings account in January 2022, its real purchasing power by early 2026 is roughly Rs. 5.5L.

Consider gold: Up 200%+ in PKR over 5 years
Government securities: NSS and T-bills offer inflation-beating rates
Avoid hoarding cash: Every rupee sitting idle loses value daily
