The Federal Government has decided to impose a ban on import of luxury and non-essential items that are not used by the common man in order to stabilize the economy and recover the widening trade deficit. Pakistan has entered an economic crisis with the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) falling constantly against the US Dollar (USD to PKR).

According to reports, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed to impose a ban on import of luxury and non-essential goods in the country in order to control the depreciating Pakistani Rupee (PKR). The ban has been imposed on the import of luxury vehicles and non-essential items like cosmetics.

The decision has been taken by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif after holding a consultative meeting with the coalition partners. The Federal Government is expected to take tough decisions in order to stabilize the economy after the US Dollar has crossed Rs. 200 mark in the open market, while ending the day at Rs. 198.39 in the inter-bank market.
