The Ministry of Finance has issued a clarification regarding the invocation of the Force Majeure Clause in government contracts. It specifies that the ongoing West Asia situation should be treated as 'war' for the purpose of triggering Force Majeure. Procuring entities may grant extensions of two to four months for contractual obligations affected by this situation. This relief applies only to contracts where parties were not in default as of February 27, 2026. The circular reiterates existing guidelines from the Manuals for Procurement of Goods, Consultancy, and Works.
