PCB Directs State-Owned Companies to Cut Costs Amid Economic Challenges

The Privatisation and Corporatisation Board (PCB) has issued a directive to state-owned companies ordering stringent cost-cutting measures, including limits on travel, hiring, overtime and dollar-denominated pay. The directives come amid a forex crisis and record-high black-market US dollar rates, while the opposition criticises the government for not cutting costs, particularly political appointees' salaries.
