  "textContent": "ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s petrol prices have climbed higher than several countries in the region, adding further pressure on citizens already struggling with inflation and rising living costs.\n\nPetrol in Pakistan is being sold at around Rs414.78 per litre, while a comparative review of fuel prices across neighbouring countries showed that this surge in fuel prices making it more expensive than in many regional states.\n\nIn comparison, petrol prices stand at nearly Rs370 per litre in Sri Lanka, Rs360 in China, Rs302 in India, and Rs288 in Bangladesh.\n\nThe report further noted that fuel prices in Afghanistan and Maldives are also lower than those in Pakistan, while heavily subsidised fuel in Iran remains available at significantly cheaper rates.\n\nEconomic experts attributed the increase in Pakistan’s fuel prices to fluctuations in global crude oil markets, the weakening value of the Pakistani rupee, and government taxation policies.\n\nAnalysts warned that expensive fuel raises transportation costs and pushes up the prices of daily-use items, putting additional strain on household budgets across the country.\n\nMeanwhile, social media users have expressed concern over the widening gap in petrol prices between Pakistan and other regional countries, with many criticising the growing burden on consumers\n\nThe post Pakistan petrol prices surpass regional countries amid inflation issues appeared first on HUM News English.",
