Which scenario is most likely to cause the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Pakistan to increase more than the GDP deflator?
Multiple choice question for Inflation & Productivity. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
The CPI measures the price changes of goods and services bought by consumers, including imported items like BMWs. Since BMWs are imported, their price increase affects the CPI but not the GDP deflator, which only considers domestically produced goods and services. Therefore, a rise in the price of imported BMWs leads to a higher increase in the CPI compared to the GDP deflator.
