“Daily fluctuations in petrol prices”
The focus on daily petrol price volatility suggests a period of high economic instability in Pakistan. When fuel prices fluctuate rapidly, it creates a ripple effect across the supply chain, typically leading to increased costs for food and consumer goods, which may further strain the national economy.
