Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why Your Construction Costs Are Changing

The Update: Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a critical level this week. After a brief 10-day ceasefire, the waterway—which carries 25% of the world’s oil—remains under a "selective transit" regime.

Why it matters for Milkiyat Users:

• Fuel Prices: Volatility in the Strait is the primary reason for the recent see-saw in petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan.
• Material Costs: Higher oil prices increase the cost of producing and transporting cement, steel, and bricks.
• Investment Sentiment: While the "Islamabad Talks" (held April 11-12) offered hope for de-escalation, the market remains cautious.

Milkiyat Insight: Stable energy routes mean stable property prices. We are monitoring the situation to help you time your construction projects perfectly.
