Iran nuclear deal will benefit Pakistan: Economists

Islamabad, July 15: The Iran nuclear deal will benefit Pakistan due to the new business opportunities that would emerge, economists have said.

Dawn reported on Thursday that once the Iranian economy is unshackled, Pakistan will gain from the new business opportunities that would come up.

Economists believe Iran's re-entry into global economy would create business opportunities worth tens of billions of dollars for both local and foreign companies.

Pakistan will particularly be interested in finalising its gas pipeline deal and other energy agreements that have long been held up because of the crippling sanctions. Pakistan's cement industry can also benefit from the new situation, the media report said.
