The government in Pakistan is working on helping people manage their money better. They might lower the price of petrol by about Rs1.72 per litre, which could make it cheaper for everyone. But the diesel might get a little more expensive by around Rs1 per litre.
If this happens, the new petrol price could be around Rs265.62 per litre, and diesel might go up to Rs277.21 per litre. This change might happen from January 1st. It will affect big cities like Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi.
Right now, petrol costs about Rs267.34 per litre, and diesel is around Rs276.21 per litre. Before this, the prices went down by Rs14 for petrol and Rs13.50 for diesel, which helped people save money.
The government will tell everyone the new prices officially after 11 pm on December 31. But it’s hard to say for sure if prices will stay low because they depend on things happening worldwide, like how the value of money changes and the ups and downs of the global market.
So, while this might be good news for now, things could change again in the future because the economy is always moving. People are hoping for the best when the new prices are announced, especially because it might make life a bit easier for those facing money problems.
