As usual, zero research, zero context by this lawyer turned media anchor.

First of all, this 'cost of living' index is not comparing just the regional countries but is a comparison of global scale. Now do you think that there are more poor people in Pakistan than rest of the world?

Poverty rate in Paksitan is 24.3% while the world average is 23.4%.
Poverty rate in U.S is 17.8%.

According to World Bank, the countries with the highest poverty rates in the world are:

  1. South Sudan - 82.30%
  2. Equatorial Guinea - 76.80%
  3. Madagascar - 70.70%
  4. Guinea-Bissau - 69.30%
  5. Eritrea - 69.00%
  6. Sao Tome and Principe - 66.70%
  7. Burundi - 64.90%
  8. Democratic Republic of the Congo - 63.90%
  9. Central African Republic - 62.00%
  10. Guatemala - 59.30%
The complete list can be viewed here
Now if on the cost of living index Pakistan is on the top (being the most in-expensive country) is it a good thing or a bad thing?
