Why Salary Cuts Were Introduced

Fuel prices mein sharp increase (Middle East tensions ki wajah se)
Government expenditure ka pressure
IMF conditions aur financial discipline ki zarurat
Loss-making state-owned enterprises ka burden
Reports ke mutabiq, kai SOEs already heavy losses mein chal rahe thay, jis ki wajah se government ko salaries aur operational costs reduce karna zaroori ho gaya.
