Pakistan is Close to Returning to Pre-Pandemic Normalcy: Report

Pakistan has been ranked third in The Economist’s Global Normalcy Index.

The Economist’s Normalcy Index ranked 50 countries to determine the ones that are returning to their pre-pandemic levels. Each country was ranked on the basis of eight indicators — time not at home, retail, office use, public transport, road traffic, flights, cinema, and sports attendance.

According to the report, the global normalcy index had fallen in March 2020 after many countries had restricted the mobility of their citizens.
