Petrol Price in Pakistan: Analysis
Well, this price decrease is credited to the reduction in global petroleum prices. Thus, the government has passed down the benefit to local consumers. As per media reports, the global prices of crude oil have gone down by nearly $2 to $2.30 per barrel. Consequently, the average price of petrol has decreased from $82.50 to $80.40 per barrel, while HSD has declined from $90.30 to $88 per barrel.
Keep in mind that if the ongoing crisis in the Middle East worsens, there’s a possibility of an escalation in global petroleum prices at any time, which may result in a price hike in Pakistan. Additionally, we may see another hike when the government increases the petroleum levy from Rs.60 (current) to Rs.70 (as proposed in the budget 2024-25).
