Pakistan’s largest gas distributor was set to cut supplies to some of its industrial customers, suggesting growing strain in one of the economies most dependent on energy exports from Qatar, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the conflict in the Middle East has caused the most extensive disruption to the global energy trade since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, blocking the Strait of Hormuz and shuttering giant energy facilities including Qatar’s Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas export plant.
This happened after Israel and the US carried out attacks on Iran, followed by Tehran launching retaliatory strikes on regional bases. The situation led to disruption at the Strait of Hormuz.
