‘Bankrupt’ Pakistan raises fuel prices by 20% as Middle East crisis deepens amid US war with Iran

Pakistan on March 6 raised consumer prices for diesel and petrol about 20%, citing higher oil prices driven by conflict in Iran. As per Reuters, Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik announced the rise in prices in a televised video message. According to Reuters, Pakistan raised the petrol and diesel prices and set it at 335.86 rupees & 321.17 rupees respectively. Before the announcement, fuel stations in major cities like Lahore and Karachi had long lines of people waiting to fill up. The decision is likely to ripple through to higher inflation and hit Pakistan's impoverished population, Reuters reported. Pakistan imports oil mainly from the middle east including Saudi Arabia and the UAE through the Strait of Hormuz.
