Pakistan Loses $40 Billion After Halting Trade With India

Pakistan has suffered a significant economic hit after it stopped trading with India, a move that has cost the country an estimated $40 billion, according to an analysis by NDTV. The halt in bilateral trade has affected a range of sectors, from textiles to pharmaceuticals, and has strained supply chains across the region. Experts say the loss reflects both the volume of trade that was previously conducted and the ripple effects on related industries. The decision to suspend trade was driven by political tensions, but the financial repercussions are now being felt by businesses and consumers alike. The analysis highlights that the economic damage could take years to recover, as markets adjust to new trade patterns.
