Regional Price Comparisons
Comparisons with neighboring countries have also shaped public perceptions.
Approximate retail price changes following recent global oil fluctuations showed:
| Country | Price Change |
|---|---|
| Pakistan | ~20% increase |
| Bangladesh | ~4% increase |
| Nepal | ~2% increase |
| Sri Lanka | ~1.3% increase |
| UAE / Saudi Arabia | ~4–6% increase |
| USA / Europe | ~3–6% increase |
These comparisons intensified the perception that Pakistan’s price increase has been significantly steeper than many regional markets.
