Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Thursday announced a reduction of Rs40.54 per litre in the price of diesel and Rs18.50 per litre in that of petrol in order to pass on the benefit of the drop in global oil prices to the consumers.

However, now as the prices are declining in the international market the government has decided to pass on the relief to people and therefore reduced the price of petrol and diesel by Rs18.50 and Rs40.54 per litre, respectively.

The new price of petrol will be Rs230.24 per litre while diesel will be available at Rs236 per litre. Meanwhile, petroleum levy has not been increased on all petroleum products.

Ishaq Dar takes oath as Pakistan’s new finance minister

This is the fourth time Dar, aged 72, has been given the portfolio. It also comes at a time when Pakistan is recovering from devastating floods that killed more than 1,600 people and destroyed homes, crops, roads and rail networks.
In remarks made after taking the oath, Dar outlined his priorities. “We will control inflation. We will bring interest rates down,” he told reporters.
Dar, a chartered accountant by profession, was given the position after the resignation of his predecessor Miftah Ismail, who was Pakistan’s fifth finance minister in about four years.
During his six-month stint as finance minister, Ismail managed to secure a $1.17bn bailout package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as Pakistan battles an economic crisis.

Dar returned to Pakistan on Monday after five years of self-imposed exile in London following allegations of corruption against him.
“I will try my best to save Pakistan from the economic vortex it is caught in … I am hopeful we will head towards a positive direction,” he told reporters on Monday night.
But the opposition has attacked the government over Dar’s appointment.
Addressing an event in Lahore on Monday, Imran Khan, the former prime minister and head of the main opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, called Dar the “biggest conman of Pakistan”.
