Pakistan could improve economic projections for 2027 after the end of the Iran war, but it is still too early to revise the budget, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb told Reuters, hours after the U.S. and Iran signed a deal to end the fighting.
Damaged energy infrastructure meant supply chains would take time to return to normal, after the conflict pushed inflation back into double digits, Mr. Aurangzeb said.
“We were looking at how we manage the second, third-order impact in case this conflict continues,” he said. “The energy infrastructure has been hit. And therefore, it will take time before we return to normalcy in terms of supply chains.”
