Pakistan’s Rs114 Fuel Tax

IslamabadDiesel peaked at Rs520 a litre in April.

A fixed Rs114-per-litre tax stays no matter what crude oil does.

Brent crude fell 4.1% in the week to Aug. 25, yet Pakistan’s pump prices rose again Tuesday.

Diesel still sits above its pre-war Rs281 level despite daily resets by regulators.
