The meeting will hold a consultation on the final decision to open the construction sector after April 14 and whether lockdown will be expanded across the country. The Prime Minister will himself inform the public about the decision taken during the meeting. The decision regarding the resumption of flight operations from cities including Karachi and Islamabad is also expected in today's meeting. The coronavirus pandemic has crippled Pakistan economy, with economic experts projecting an economic recession if the lockdowns continued. Pakistan may fall into a recession with the real GDP for fiscal year 2020 could contract by 2.2 percent and a painful decline in per-capita income, says the World Bank (WB). The WB in its latest report “South Asia Economic Focus Spring 2020” stated that Pakistan, which has already experienced low growth rates in recent years, could well fall into a recession. With 1.8 percent population growth, that would imply a painful decline in per-capita income.
