ISLAMABAD: The crude oil prices in global markets have surged in the past 13 days, possibly leading to a price hike in Pakistan’s local fuel rates.
Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) prepares its next review on August 31 on the possible increase in prices.
British Brent crude moved to $67.47 from $65.85, while American crude oil surged from $61.98 to $63.62.
This steady upward trend in the international market is likely to impact Pakistan’s petroleum product prices in the coming days.
