在伊斯兰堡经营物流业务、只用一个名字穆罕默德的人告诉《日经亚洲》,政府为阻止游行采取的措施给企业造成了巨大损失。

“交付延迟、货物滞留、货物可能受损以及供应链不确定是我们面临的主要问题,”他说。“如果路障持续时间过长,伊斯兰堡将出现基本商品短缺和物价上涨。”在拉合尔经营法律和税务咨询公司的伊克拉姆·乌尔·哈克表示,政府关闭高速公路特别扰乱了首都的经济生活。“直接负担主要落在司机、日薪工人和无法弥补一天损失收入的小企业身上,”他说。
"Delayed deliveries, stuck cargoes, possible damage to goods and uncertain supply chains are the main problems we face," he said. "If the roadblocks are prolonged, there will be a shortage of essential goods and higher prices in Islamabad." Ikram ul Haq, who runs a legal and tax consultancy in Lahore, said the government's highway closure has particularly disrupted economic life in the capital. "The immediate burden falls heavily on drivers, daily-wage workers and small businesses that cannot recover a lost day's earnings," he said.
“如果封锁持续,货运和客运、批发和零售贸易、建筑供应链,以及鲜农产品和奶制品供应商将特别受到冲击,”他说。
"If the closures continue, freight and passenger transport, wholesale and retail trade, construction supply chains, and suppliers of fresh produce and dairy will be particularly exposed," he said.
