Government Open to Selling Pakistan Post, Announces Major Decision

The federal government has said it is open to selling Pakistan Post, the national postal service, as part of its wider privatisation and reform programme.

Why It Matters

Pakistan Post has been facing financial pressure for years despite its huge nationwide network of post offices. Officials say private investment could modernise its courier, parcels and financial services.

Any final decision will need cabinet approval, and the government says the rights of existing employees will be discussed before the process moves forward. Further details are expected in the coming weeks.
