REGIONALDawn (Pakistan)Strait of Hormuz closure pushes Pakistan into expensive $18.4 per mmBtu LNG deal

Pakistan has agreed to a costly liquefied natural gas (LNG) deal priced at $18.4 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The closure has disrupted traditional energy supply routes, forcing Pakistan to secure LNG at higher prices, which will increase energy costs and impact the country's economy and consumers. This development highlights the vulnerability of energy supply chains to regional disruptions.
