Finance Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed says that inflation has not eased even after a cut in the import duty for daily necessities due to the ‘instability in the market’. But it has had no impact on the market. On a point-to-point basis, food inflation hit 11.36 percent in August, 10.40 percent in September and 12.66 percent in October. Salehuddin, who was in charge of the commerce ministry until a few days ago, said: “The tax was reduced but the prices of daily commodities have not dropped. “I am trying to lower the price in the market,” he added.
