پبلک اکاؤنٹس کمیٹی نے چینی برآمدات اور گندم کی درآمد روک دی

Pakistan's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has halted 200,000 tonnes of sugar exports and stopped wheat imports, demanding recommendations from the Ministry of National Food Security. This decision follows a severe wheat procurement crisis in Punjab, where farmers are financially ruined and an "artificial shortage" is feared, prompting government plans for wheat imports. The committee seeks a comprehensive briefing on the crisis, which has raised concerns over future food security. Such interventions and food security issues could add inflationary pressure and impact Pakistan's trade balance, potentially influencing USD/PKR rates.
