Pakistan Essential Things Rate List: In Pakistan surrounded by the worst economic crisis of a decade, another inflation bomb has exploded on the public. Petrol and diesel prices have been increased by Rs 35 in Pakistan from Sunday (January 29). The country has been facing a serious crisis for several decades due to high inflation, low growth and depleting foreign exchange reserves. To avoid default, the country is in dire need of funds from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Reports say that the financial agency International Monetary Fund has demanded some reforms from Pakistan to release the funds, which also includes increasing the prices of petroleum.
According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has announced an increase of Rs 35 in the prices of petrol and diesel. Dar has also given the reason behind this increase. He said, “The Pakistani rupee weakened last week and now we are seeing an 11 per cent increase in the prices of petroleum products in the international market.”
