Finance Minister reviews proposed gas sector restructuring and deregulation roadmap
Most outlets reported that Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired a meeting to review the proposed restructuring and deregulation roadmap for Pakistan’s gas sector, with a focus on financial sustainability, operational efficiency, and private-sector participation. While the framing was largely consistent, some variation was noted: BOL News emphasized the "phased deregulation" and the aim to improve the "financial viability of utility companies," while Dawn highlighted the goal of learning from global experiences. ARY News briefly mentioned the aim to establish a "competitive gas market," and The Nation and APP provided standard accounts of the meeting without additional emphasis.
