Pakistan has announced fuel austerity measures as global oil prices surge, putting pressure on the country’s energy imports and public finances. The government said it will cut fuel consumption across departments and introduce spending restrictions to manage the rising costs.
Officials say the measures are aimed at reducing fuel use in government operations, limiting official travel and improving energy efficiency as the country navigates the impact of higher global crude prices.
