Pakistan also faces the similar circumstances as implementation of lockdown to avoid spread of COVID-19 halted trading activities. This study focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on services sector of Pakistan and for the purpose various published reports are considered. Sectors including tourism, hospitality and transport are likely to be more affected in services sector. Millions of SMEs may not be able to survive in long term due to lack of cash flow while the revenues of SMEs will also decrease.
