What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

KPMG and the World Bank evaluated the accumulation of circular debt within Pakistan's oil and gas sectors over the last five years. The evaluation highlighted a substantial addition to this debt between 2019 and 2023. This accumulation was attributed to no increase in consumer gas prices and the diversion of RLNG to domestic consumers.
