ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Finance Minister Miftah Ismail on Monday said that multiple increases in petroleum prices have brought Pakistan out of financial crises.

In a statement on Twitter, the federal finance minister wrote that “The Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would soon announce austerity measures and there was no financial emergency in the country.”

“After two increases in petrol prices, we are out of the financial crisis,” Miftah added.
