The Latest Petrol Prices in Pakistan [August 2023]

Petroleum prices in a particular country or region are affected by a lot of factors. The cost of crude oil (the natural source of all petroleum by-products), refining, distribution and marketing costs, profits, and fuel taxes are some of the noteworthy factors.

Depending on the financial capacities of their respective economies, governments, especially in developing countries like ours, also subsidize fuel prices to ease up the financial burden on the general public.

In Pakistan, the federal government grants millions of rupees as subsidies to maintain fuel prices and provide relief to the common man. However, the country still lacks a consistent policy for the provision of fuel subsidies.

Asian countries like China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Malaysia have proper subsidy tools and management systems. Some of these countries even include fuel subsidies in their annual financial budgets, which our country should also do.
