ECC forms committee for wheat import mechanism

Pakistan's ECC has approved a steering committee to assess wheat import needs and devise an operational mechanism. Chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister, the committee includes federal ministers and provincial chief secretaries, aiming to ensure food security and manage strategic reserves. Significant wheat imports could strain Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves, influencing the USD/PKR rate and domestic inflation, potentially impacting local gold demand.
