Govt Hints at Slashing Fuel Prices Further as Rupee Stabilizes, Global Oil Price Falls

The federal government has hinted at providing greater comfort to consumers by lowering fuel prices in the coming days in response to the collapse in the price of crude oil in the world market and the dollar’s plummet against the rupee after reaching high levels.

This was implied by Ayesha Ghaus, Minister of State for Finance, who stated that the government was well aware of the challenges facing the populace as a result of the rise in fuel costs since it had a significant impact on monthly budgets.

She said that the administration is well aware of the predicament that resulted from the unprecedented increase in fuel costs. Ghaus, however, asserted that no formal decision has yet been made in this respect.
