Earlier on Friday, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to bolster the construction sector by announcing a package, including cash support, waivers, subsidies and high rebates in the terms of sales tax, capital gain tax and withholding tax, to mitigate the COVID-19 impact on the country's economy.
The government opened the construction industry under strict medical guidelines so that the daily wagers and laborers can earn their livelihoods. Khan said around 90 million Pakistanis are facing severe financial issues due to the lockdown measures.
Last month, the government also unveiled a COVID-19 relief package of 1,200 billion rupees (7.21 billion U.S. dollars) to the poor and daily-wagers, but economists said the support was not enough to counter the issues of unemployed people.
