Affecting More Sectors:
The market is so deregulated that there is no prediction for the delivery of products in the coming months. There is also a shortage of products in construction stores, such as steel and iron bars for slab construction, barbed wire, and even nails.
Another sector that has been impacted is the oil industry, which has suffered from rising prices and shortages. There is no delivery forecast. Without investment, some companies have already started laying off employees.
