Gas crisis hits Pakistani industriesJan 27, 2012 Pakistan, a country with large reserves of natural gas, is suffering from a shortage of the resource amongst industries, who rely on it to generate power. The knock-on effect from the industries shutting down for long periods is that millions are going without work, in an economy that is already reeling from multiple shocks.

Pakistan's unregulated drug industryJan 27, 2012 Pakistan's government is being criticised for not doing enough to control the country's pharmaceutical industry.

While they are supposed to be regulated by the government, a recent devolution of the health ministries to the provincial level has meant that most are not monitored at all.
