Pakistan government allocates Rs27 billion to OGRA to clear petrol price differential claims

These funds have been allocated from the Prime Minister’s Austerity Fund to address the Price Differential Claims resulting from the Government’s decision to shield consumers from the impact of rising international oil prices.

The funds were arranged through various expenditure reduction measures implemented within the federal government and deposited into the PM Austerity Fund.

The Pakistan government is also considering additional cost-cutting measures to ensure public relief is provided while staying within the budget and identifying additional savings.
