Petrol Price in Pakistan: Analysis
In OPEC, the per barrel price throughout the month of May 2023 has remained stable around $76. In addition, the US Dollar to Pak Rupee interbank exchange rate has also remained stable around Rs. 284. As a result, the government has been able to provide some relief to the masses. However, there are many who were still expecting a drastic price cut due to the import of Russian oil. We will only be able to see in the coming weeks if petroleum prices will further decrease or not.
