Pakistan has reportedly collected Rs 2.7 trillion through petroleum levy in the last two years — a figure said to be higher than the combined value of two IMF loan programs.

Fuel taxes continue to play a major role in government revenue generation, helping authorities manage fiscal pressure and economic challenges. Officials view the levy as an important support for public finances during a difficult economic period.

At the same time, increasing fuel-related taxes have added pressure on consumers, sparking ongoing debate around petrol prices, inflation, and Pakistan’s dependence on indirect taxation.

Global oil markets could witness massive swings in the months ahead. Experts suggest crude prices may either climb as high as $150–200 per barrel during severe geopolitical tensions, or ease sharply if diplomatic solutions emerge.

Concerns around the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz remain a major risk for global energy supply, with vulnerable economies expected to feel the strongest impact. In Pakistan, fuel prices could see extreme movement — from significant relief in an optimistic scenario to record-breaking hikes if the crisis deepens.

Higher oil prices may increase inflation, pressure government budgets, and raise economic uncertainty, while stability in the region could bring much-needed relief to consumers.

Pakistan reportedly paid billions of rupees to several power plants even when they did not generate electricity, due to capacity payment agreements in the energy sector.

Under these agreements, payments are made to power producers to keep plants available for electricity supply, whether electricity is used or not. Reports say these costs continue to add pressure on the country’s economy and electricity consumers.

Experts believe energy sector reforms and better planning may help reduce the financial burden in the future.

Pakistan has reportedly informed the IMF that electricity and gas prices may continue to increase as part of ongoing energy sector reforms.

According to reports, regular electricity tariff adjustments and monthly fuel charges will continue, while subsidies may remain limited to protected consumer groups only.

The government has also shared plans to reduce circular debt, improve transparency in the gas sector, and move ahead with the privatization of major power distribution companies by 2027.

These measures are said to be part of wider IMF-backed reforms aimed at improving the country’s energy and financial system.

Satellite images captured between 2019 and 2026 reportedly show major deforestation in Upper Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially near Jatkool village in Sheringal.

Reports suggest nearly 66.58 hectares of forest area have been cleared during the last seven years. Regions once covered with dense trees now appear largely barren, raising environmental concerns.

Experts say the continued loss of forests may increase risks of soil erosion, landslides, habitat destruction and damage to local ecosystems. The issue has once again highlighted concerns regarding illegal logging and forest conservation in the region.
