The economy is the story that touches every Pakistani home every day: the rate at which a son in Dubai sends money back, the levy hidden inside a litre of petrol, the slab that decides an electricity bill. TaazaPulse's economy desk explains these moving parts in plain language, with the official sources named, so readers can act on facts instead of rumours forwarded on WhatsApp.
Begin with the two explainers Pakistan asks about most — how the dollar rate really works, and how the petrol price is built — and use our utility guides to turn that understanding into smaller bills and faster paperwork.
Your bank app shows one dollar rate, the money changer down the road quotes another, and the news reads out a third. All three can be right at the same time — this explainer shows why, and which rate actually applies to your transaction.
Every driver watches the petrol price, but few know how the number on the pump is built. This explainer walks through the OGRA formula, the taxes and margins inside every litre, the review cycle — and the official way to check today's rate.
Lost paper bill? No problem. Every distribution company in Pakistan lets you view and print a duplicate bill online with one number from an old bill — here is exactly how, company by company.
