The Federal Government has released a list of luxury and non-essential items that have been banned for import in Pakistan. The country has entered an economical crisis with the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) falling constantly against the US Dollar (USD to PKR) because of the depleting foreign exchange reserves brought on by a massive trade deficit.

The announcement was made by Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb during a press conference in Islamabad. She said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was working day and night to stabilize the economy, which is why the government has decided to impose a ban on import of all non-essential and luxury items in the country.

Taking to Twitter, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that his decision to ban import of luxury items will save the country precious foreign exchange. “We will practice austerity and financially stronger people must lead in this effort so that the less privileged among us do not have to bear this burden inflicted on them by the PTI Govt.” said the premier. “Together we will overcome all the challenges with resolve and determination, InshAllah.” he added.

The decision comes at a time when the Pakistani Rupee continues its downward trend against the US Dollar (USD to PKR). The local currency has depreciated to Rs. 200 against the greenback with no signs of stopping. The Pakistani Rupee has fallen by Rs. 15.91 since 1st April, bringing it to Rs. 200 on 19th April 2022 at the closing of the inter-bank market.

    This ‘Import list ban’ if luxury items is just a farce.
    A country, Whose Institutions are corrupt to the core as we see and hear daily where the crooks now ruling the country never get indicted for crimes they are accused of despite overwhelming proofs to send them down for life…this ban is just another way of ‘earning…topping up’ their wages with bribes to clear the items through the borders.
    In other words, the ordinary citizen of Pakistan will face hardships when returning from abroad with presents for family/ friends…and will have to bribe their way past the criminal custims agents.
    When there are criminals in the country’s ruling seats…this kind of criminal activities will be rife.
    Good luck to Pakistanis… !!!!☝️😁🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
