Pakistan Considers Work-From-Home and Fuel Measures Amid Strait of Hormuz Disruptions

Pakistan is considering mandatory work-from-home policies and other fuel-saving measures to manage rising fuel costs amid disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route. Despite holding about four weeks of petrol and diesel reserves, the government is preparing contingency plans, including compensating oil firms for higher import and insurance costs. Officials are also exploring alternative shipping routes and weekly petroleum price revisions to address potential supply challenges caused by regional tensions.
