The Trump administration has supported a $2.4 billion investment proposal by US firm Securiport to upgrade security systems at major Pakistani airports.

The plan includes installing Advanced Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) systems to detect criminal and transnational threats. The US Chargé d’Affaires urged Pakistan to consider the offer, which promises full data ownership for Pakistan, training for local staff, and long-term support.

The system would be operated by FIA and aims to improve border security and passenger processing. However, concerns remain over procurement transparency and regulatory compliance in Pakistan’s airport modernization projects.

The World Bank has warned that global energy prices could rise by 24% in 2026, reaching their highest level since the 2022 cris!s due to ongoing Middle East confl!ct and supply disru_ptions.

Overall commodity prices are also expected to increase by 16%, with sharp gains in oil, fertilizers, and metals. Brent crude is projected to average $86 per barrel, driven by disruptions in key supply routes like the Strait of Ho_rmuz.

Rising costs may increase inflation, slow global growth, and deepen food insecurity, particularly in developing countries, where millions could be affected by higher prices.
