Pakistan is grappling with soaring petrol prices that threaten to ignite both economic and political crises. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif revealed that the country's weekly oil bill has skyrocketed to $800 million, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Shehbaz emphasized that the war in Iran is causing a 'major' economic fallout, further straining the nation's finances. As fuel prices continue to rise, the implications for the Pakistani economy and its political stability remain a growing concern.
