According to the reports, the economic losses following floods as calculated by the Centre and endorsed by the provinces have gone up further to the tune of $17-$18 billion. The economic losses have further increased mainly because crops have been destroyed across 8.25 million acres as compared to an initial estimation of 4.2 million acres. Cotton, rice, and minor crops have been damaged and now wheat sowing is under threat.
