Let's take you live now to Carrie Davies in Islamabad and Arundel Mukherjee who joins us now from Delhi to get a picture of, of what is happening in both Pakistan and in India.

現在我們連線到伊斯蘭堡的 Carrie Davies，以及現在加入我們的德里記者 Arundel Mukherjee，來瞭解巴基斯坦和印度的情況。

How has the conflict and the price of energy affected not only the price of petrol at the pump but the economy more broadly?

這場衝突和能源價格，不僅影響了加油站的汽油價格，對整體經濟有什麼影響？

Well, Lucy, we know that there will be impacts because yesterday evening we heard from the Pakistan's Prime Minister who made an announcement to the entire nation talking about the different measures that Pakistan is putting in place to try to make sure that fuel is preserved.

嗯，Lucy，我們知道會有影響，因為昨天晚上我們聽到了巴基斯坦總理向全國宣佈，談到了巴基斯坦正在採取的不同措施，以確保燃油的保存。

So various different measures, including a four day working week for government, government jobs, although he also said that he wants to see that in private companies as well, that 50% of the workforce they've said should be working from home, apart from those in essential industries.

所以有各種不同的措施，包括政府實施四天工作週，政府職位，不過他也表示希望私人公司也能比照辦理，他們說除了必要產業之外，50%的員工應該在家工作。

We've also heard that schools will be closed from the end of this week for two weeks and that universities have been told to continue their operations online.

我們也聽說學校將從本週末開始關閉兩週，大學則被告知要繼續線上營運。

These are just some of the measures that have been put in place in the attempt to, to try to preserve fuel.

這些只是為了盡量保存燃油而採取的一些措施。

But there's also been measures put in place to try to, to, to try to save more government funds.

但也有一些措施是為了盡量節省政府的開支。

Now of course, with the price going up, we have heard from Pakistan that they could see that their monthly oil bill could go up to 600 million USD a month.

當然，隨著價格上漲，我們聽說巴基斯坦每個月的石油帳單可能會高達六億美元。

So the other measures that they are starting to put in place to try to use sort of costing measures have included things like ministers and their advisers not taking their salaries for the course of the next two months.

所以他們開始實施的其他措施，像是部長和他們的顧問在接下來的兩個月內不領薪水，這也是一種節約成本的方式。

There's going to be, officials have been told that they aren't able to do foreign visits as well in the vast majority of cases.

官員們也被告知，在絕大多數情況下，他們不能出國訪問。

So all of these different measures are being put in place.

所以這些不同的措施都在陸續實施。

But a big question is how long will this crisis in the Middle east go on for and how long can those existing reserves that Pakistan has got, how far can they stretch them and run a day?

但一個大問題是，中東的危機還會持續多久？巴基斯坦現有的儲備還能撐多久？

Well, in terms of the immediate concerns.

Well, let's, let's break it down in terms of petrol and diesel that seems to be under control at least for, and

嗯，我們來分析一下，汽油和機油似乎至少在目前是受到控制的，

the government officials have assured that there isn't any need to panic or worry on that count.

政府官員也保證，在這方面沒有恐慌或擔憂的必要。

And they have said that they have reserves for at least 25 to 30 days.

而且他們說，他們有至少25到30天的儲備。

There are also experts who are pointing out the fact that India can always fall back on Russian oil imports.

也有專家指出，印度總是可以依賴俄羅斯的石油進口。

Remember, the US also granted a waiver of sorts to India and India has been a traditional buyer of cheap Russian food as well.

請記得，美國也給了印度某種豁免權，而且印度一直是便宜俄羅斯食品的傳統買家。

So in terms of options, India seems to have those.

所以就選項而言，印度似乎都有。

But the real challenge that is being felt is in small eateries and restaurants around the country.

但真正感受到挑戰的是全國各地的小餐館和餐廳。

Because lpg, which is liquid petroleum gas, that is essentially that cost has increased and that is what is used by about 300 million households in the country.

因為液化石油氣（LPG）的成本確實增加了，而全國約有3億戶家庭在使用它。

And also a lot of these restaurants who power their, their, their eateries through these cylinders which are coming in on a daily basis.

還有很多餐廳是透過每天運送的這些氣瓶來為他們的餐館供電的。

Now the government has said only essential supplies will be made.

現在政府已經說了，只會供應必需品。

Now given the shortages or the risk of shortages.

現在考量到短缺或短缺的風險。

That means in places like hospitals or institutions there the cylinder supplies will be maintained.

這意味著在醫院或機構等地方，氣瓶的供應將會維持。

But in other non essential areas which they have categorized restaurants and hotels to be, that is where they are likely to feel a pinch.

但在其他被歸類為非必需品的區域，像是餐廳和飯店，那裡可能會感受到壓力。

And that's why we've seen a lot of statements from these big associations of restaurants pointing out that they're hitting code red that they only have gas left for about two to three days.

這也是為什麼我們看到許多餐廳協會發表聲明，指出他們已經到了紅色警戒，只剩下大約兩到三天的瓦斯。

Some of these restaurants talking about how, you know, they are also an essential part of the functioning, you know, at a time when, you know, they reminding people about what happened during COVID times, how they played an essential role in providing services to the people and they are basing that the government should grant them some sort of exemption.

有些餐廳表示，你知道的，他們也是社會運作的重要一環，你知道的，在提醒人們記住 COVID 期間發生的事，他們在為民眾提供服務方面扮演了關鍵角色，他們認為政府應該給予他們某種豁免。

I'm in a very busy street lined with restaurants just to get a sense of what is really happening.

我現在正走在一條非常熱鬧、兩旁都是餐廳的街道上，想親身感受一下實際情況。

And there is a real worry that this could hit home in this kind of industry.

而且這個產業確實有可能受到影響，這才是真正讓人擔憂的地方。

And also this essentially means a cascading effect on inflation, something that India has really tried to keep on the check.

這也將會對通膨產生連鎖效應，這是印度一直努力在控制的。

And Carrie, just to be clear, the vulnerability for Pakistan is also with natural gas, isn't it?

Carrie，我想釐清一下，巴基斯坦的脆弱性也體現在天然氣方面，對吧？

而他們從卡達進口的是液化天然氣 (LNG)。

And that's where the Strait of Hormuz comes in.

這就是荷姆茲海峽的關聯所在。

So the Strait of Hormuz is so crucial for both imports of oil and imports of gas.

所以荷姆茲海峽對於石油和天然氣的進口都非常關鍵。

And today, much as a ranger they were saying, I went out to speak to two people as well to hear about what impact this is already having on people's lives.

今天，就像一位護林員說的，我也出去和兩個人聊了聊，聽聽這已經對人們的生活造成了什麼影響。

We spoke to a few people who were running shops who were saying that they were already hearing that the prices for the goods they were going to be ordering in next were already increasing.

我們採訪了一些經營商店的人，他們說已經聽說他們接下來要訂購的貨品價格已經在漲了。

So that's already filtering through into the economy here in Pakistan.

所以這已經開始影響到巴基斯坦的經濟了。

And bear in mind, of course, we're currently in in Ramadan and the period in the run up to EID is particularly important for a lot of these shops.

而且別忘了，我們現在正值齋戒月，而開齋節前的這段時間對很多店家來說特別重要。

So they are worried that the fact that people are not going to be coming out, that many people are not going to be going to schools, not going to their offices, they're worried footfall in this important build up in time for their businesses is going to drop dramatically.

所以他們擔心，人們不會出來，很多人不會去學校、不會去辦公室，他們擔心在這個重要的準備期，他們店裡的客流量會大幅下降。

Caroline Davies, Arundel Day Mukherjee, Great to have you both with us.

Caroline Davies、Arundel Day Mukherjee，很高興你們兩位能來。
