ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is expected to see its fifth fuel price cut starting October 1, 2024, driven by declining global oil rates. According to local media reports, this reduction is anticipated to significantly decrease inflation, currently in the single digits.

The international oil market’s downward trend, fueled by weak demand, supports this anticipated cut. Notably, Brent crude oil prices dropped by 48 cents to $72.27, while US crude oil prices decreased by 37 cents.

These developments are set to bring relief to consumers as the government adjusts fuel prices in response to the shifting economic landscape.
