Expected Petrol and Diesel Prices from August 1

In August 2024, Pakistanis may experience some relief from inflation as the federal government is anticipated to lower petrol and diesel prices. Fuel prices are expected to decrease by approximately Rs. 2.90 for petrol and Rs. 8.50 for diesel, due to global oil prices hitting a six-week low.

Over the past two weeks, international oil prices have dropped by about $2-3 per barrel.
