Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Wednesday announced that the prices of petrol and diesel would remain unchanged for the next fortnight.
In a televised address, he said: “The government has decided to maintain the price of high speed diesel (HSD) […] there will be no change. As for petrol, there will be no change and it will remain unchanged from Dec 1 to 15.”
The minister said that the price of kerosene oil, which was used by lower income groups, would be slashed by Rs10.
“As for light diesel oil (LDO) […] it has been decided to reduce the price by Rs7.5 per litre.”
The minister further said that the deadline for filing tax returns, which was originally today, had been extended by 15 days till Dec 15. He urged the nation to take advantage of this opportunity and file their tax returns at the earliest.
The government had previously kept the prices of all petroleum products unchanged on Oct 15, Oct 30 and Nov 15.
In light of today’s announcement, the price of petrol and HSD will remain Rs224.80 and Rs235.30 per litre, respectively.

Dar sahab must work on foreign investors and foreigners before things get worst. Foreigners need same atmosphere as they have in their own homeland to invest. Welcome foreigners if they want to buy properties, or open a business, or coming for jobs. Sort out their problems social or legal. It will help improving image of Pakistan at international level. Security, properties safety are the basics to gain their attention. After all it's about Pakistan.

In the world market petrol prices have come down quite a lot.I really don't know what to say to pass on all the reduction of oil prices to public as I am from masses and middle class.But at the same time I also know there will be a lot of pressure from IMF to charge Levi and sales tax to bridge short fall in revenue.Let's weight for reduction in petrol prices in the interest of country.But all those who have liability to pay taxes must pay(traders/shop keepers).They should not be exempted.

Pakistan have adequate petrol reserves which is not been explored as yet.
The government should call a meeting of the geologists to find out from them as where we should start digging for petrol so that there should be no need to import petrol in the country any more.
People in oil producing countries are quite satisfied as they don't have to pay heavy price to buy the petrol and manage every thing within their income, whereas, people in Pakistan can't afford to buy petrol on exorbitant rates.

It is high time for Pakistan to plan for a soft loan default, like Argentina, this will allow for resource reallocation away from defense and subsidies for rent seekers.
