The government will consider the prices on the last day of the current month. The updated prices, once approved, will take effect on 1st June 2018.

The prices were at their lowest in 2016 as the global crude oil prices decreased after an increase in the supply. However, for the last year or so, the prices have continuously been going up with no signs of coming down significantly. Pakistan government increased the petroleum products last month as well since prices in the global market continue to fluctuate.

Currently, one barrel of Brent crude oil costs about $75.70 in the international market.
