Pakistan was also named the cheapest country to live in by numbeo.com, the largest database in the world, earlier in March 2023.

Numerous organizations have repeatedly named Pakistan the most affordable nation. Pakistan is among the nations where citizens enjoy superior living conditions.

According to the website "World Statistics", the low cost of living, utility items, accommodation, and purchasing power of common people made Pakistan as the cheapest country.
 
I'm happy to go home right fukking now......but I need Infrastructure/ Security/ Financial stability! If da GOP can provide it, I'm happy to transfer my million dollar savings into PKR and live happily thereafter. Do mintt luggnay hain and I'm ready to do dis, if the the three listed conditions are met.

It looks like a sham. Stats commonly are fake or contain selective or truth-mixed information with nonsense.

Even in Bahria town/ AF town there are burglaries/ daketiyan now. Nobody is safe. Eating out in a clean place like bbq tonight in Karachi is like Rs 5000 per person, minimum. Massive inflation. And you already aware of our pkr's standing. So yes, these stats are fake, unless yous living in Orangi town in a servant quarter. $330 wouldn't last you a week, let alone a month.

People vote with their feet, no matter what any indices say.

These are the same type of stats that have been floating around regarding Bharat & bangladesh's "prosperity" 100% f**cking backwass stats.

These same "supapowa Bharat" & "joy Bangla" stats that have been hanging for over 20 years. F*🖕 off 💩

According to elite class Muhajirs & their Sindhi copycats, both BD and Bharat are "prosperous." But it seems they don't go live there. Instead they move to Lahore or Islamabad.

No need to wonder why.

My experience shows that these stats should be read upside down. The cheapest countries shown are the most expensive countries when you consider net income and inflation. The utility bills alone in Islamabad or Lahore are higher than in many places in the West.

No I'd state they're not too bad regarding bills. Here our gas bill last month was only over 8000 rupees. However considering the unstable situation of the rupee, it becomes bad.

But when you got currency from abroad and match it with the rupee in our situation, it's not a bad thing. Islamabad was always an expensive city probably, but i'm not sure if compared to the West, Lahore even less so.

It's only "cheap" if you got assets abroad and got money to bring in to buy tons of rupees. Just like in Turkey. A country where just about everything else is too expensive for locals but foreigners can use everything cheap because they bring in much stronger currencies.

One of my mother's friends visited Turkey with his wife from Canada. It was so cheap for them since their Canadian dollars bought them so many Liras.

I will agree with the Bangladesh part, don't know about Bharat (though I visit every year in both places).

In Bangladesh one category of people (those in absolute power or their graded levels of sycophants) during Hasina regime lived in standards far above even upper middle class people in the West Coast of the US (Malibu, Newport Beach, La Jolla). I have seen houses/lifestyles in both places. Interior appointments in Bangladesh rivaled the West. I mean there are showrooms for German luxury kitchen cabinets (Poggenpohl) in my neck of the woods in Dhaka - where I may not count as a customer, but many of the nouveau riche do. Gareebon ka huq loot-newallah.

Average 3000 sqft. condo goes for twenty crore.

But these uber high living standards did not filter down to your average driver or housemaid in Bangladesh, whose lives have become unbearable due to inflation. Worse than even the reported GINI index.

But one area where improvements have taken place is infrastructure such as air, road, rail (public transport) infra. But these have happened mainly because of percentage looting by Sheikh Hasina's cohorts rather than genuine intent to improve things. There are some videos for these megaprojects in the Bangladesh section.
