Building an Interactive Dashboard to Report and Analyse the Relationship Between Recent Inflation in Food Prices and the Increased Crime Rate Within Pakistan

Challenge background

Recently, there has been a surge of inflation in Pakistan. This has had a series of adverse effects on the livelihood and economy of the people. The purpose of this project is to gather and search for data from various sources and perform an Exploratory Data Analysis and understand the trend in the rising prices over the years. We will also build a potential web scraper to extract this information if it is needed. We will further explore the process of building effective and interactive data visualisations to display the data. We will build and deploy an interactive dashboard to display the results.
