Concerned about the rapidly escalating situation, Pakistan Shipping Agents Association (PSAA) issued a notice to the country's national bank and government leaders, warning that the shipping companies represented by them would consider suspending the country's overseas services if they did not take immediate action to alleviate the crisis. The association pointed out: "If international trade is suspended, the country's economic situation will deteriorate."
Some airlines and associations of foreign companies also said that the control measures implemented to protect the dwindling foreign exchange reserves prevented them from repatriating US dollars. The person in charge said that factories such as textile manufacturers are closing or shortening their business hours to save energy and resources.
