The economy is struggling, the first ones to feel the pinch is the world of start-ups. Mass layoffs at multiple companies is alarming but not unwarranted. Higher costs with an anticipated lower demand companies are shifting to survival mode, cutting costs and trying to stay afloat.
A staggering economy and an equally struggling political situation are leading us into very unprecedented times. The society is being pulled and stretched at the very seams by extremely antagonistic politics and quite plainly creating a very dangerous rhetoric all around. As for how much power the ISI would have, it is a question only time will tell.
The situation is extremely fragile and Imran Khan seems to be adding fuel to the flames. Personally I think he wants to provoke the government and other quarters of power in Pakistan to react which can potentially be construed into a victory one way or another. Be careful of what you say Mr. Khan, a country of 220 million people is watching you.
With supply side taps being kept on a tight leash, it would be safe to expect higher future oil prices due to shortfalls in production.
