Long marches, strikes, sit-ins may cost Pakistan’s economy Rs120b a day: Aurangzeb
FinMin estimates Rs86b daily losses across the services sector, including financial services, transport, retail
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has warned that disruptions caused by long marches, sit-ins and strikes in Pakistan could cost the economy around Rs120 billion each day. These disruptions are being described as "self-inflicted pain" at a time when the country is transitioning from economic stabilisation to sustained growth. The Finance Minister's warning comes after three political groups - Jamaat-e-Islami, Kissan Ittehad and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf - announced plans for protests in Islamabad in the coming week, protesting different issues.
