Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has implemented austerity measures by banning the use of red carpets at government functions, except for diplomatic receptions. This directive aims to reduce unnecessary expenses and promote responsible financial management. Prime Minister Sharif and his Cabinet have voluntarily forgone their salaries and perks as part of these efforts. Additionally, Pakistan plans to approach the International Monetary Fund for further financial assistance amid economic challenges.
