PM Shehbaz Sharif Announces Emergency Austerity Measures Amid Global Oil Shock

Post by : Shakul

Pakistan is facing a deepening fuel crisis as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced emergency austerity measures to conserve oil amid rising global prices linked to tensions in the Middle East.

The government has ordered schools to close for two weeks, moved public offices to a 4-day workweek, and directed 50% of staff to work from home. Officials confirmed that 60% of government vehicles will be taken off the roads, fuel allowances will be cut by 50%, and public spending will be reduced by 20% as Islamabad scrambles to manage shrinking fuel supplies.

These measures aim to stabilize the country’s fuel consumption, support essential services, and mitigate the economic impact of the global oil shock.
