July 18, 2019 (MLN): Pakistan's outstanding debts as of June 30, 2019 stand at a collossal amount of Rs.20.24 trillion whereas total debt at the end of prior month was Rs.19.45 trillion, meaning that around Rs.794.03 billion were additionally borrowed during this month alone.

As compared to the same period last year when outstanding credit was Rs.17.22 trillion, the current debt position is Rs.3.03 trillion higher this time around, marking a year-on-year expansion of 17.6 percent for fiscal year 2019.

The total outstanding credit is branched into the amount accumulated by government sector and that accumulated by the non-government sector. Out of the total outstanding loan, credit given to the government sector accounts for Rs.12.4 trillion while credit to non-government sectors account for Rs.7.84 trillion.

Credit to Government Sector:

The State Bank of Pakistan’s net credit to the government sector amounts to Rs.6.68 trillion which includes investments in government securities and government deposits, and other direct loans. During these 12 months, the central bank has become a bigger source of financing for the sector as the outstanding amount acredited to the SBP has grown by Rs.3.08 trillion or 85.49 percent.

Meanwhile, the second largest source of financing for the sector, the Scheduled Bank's net credit adds up to Rs.5.72 trillion which is Rs.967.39 billion lower than the outstanding credit at the beginning of the fiscal year, thus indicating that the sector retired this amount during the period.

Credit to Non-Government Sector:

The State Bank’s claim to outstanding credit of this particular sector is comparatively negligible (only Rs.25.92 billion), while on the b-side, scheduled banks have a claim to up to Rs.7.81 trillion as of the end of this month.

At the end of previous month (May 2019), the outstanding amount owed to these banks was Rs.7.75 trillion indicating that Rs.62.29 billion were additionally borrowed during the month whereas during ongoing fiscal year, Rs.913.23 billion were further accumulated.

    Government opens consultation on procuring Russian Oil

    June 29, 2022 (MLN): The coalition government has started consultation on procuring Russian oil and gas at much cheaper rates than currently available in the international market.

    In this regard, the Petroleum Division has written a letter to the head of four major oil refineries – Pak-Arab, National Refinery, Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) and Byco Petroleum.

    As per the letter, the petroleum division has asked oil refineries about the price of the acquisition of petroleum products from Russia. In addition, the ministry also asked refineries about the quantity and grade of oil that can be bought from Russia.

    The ministry has also sought cost and benefit analysis-based details of Transportation/freight rates for imports from Russia in comparison with normal imports from the Middle East.

     “What will be the method of payment for crude oil purchased from Russia”, the ministry asked the oil refineries in a letter.

    Moreover, the existing commitment of upliftment from the Arab Gulf region with respect to Term Contracts has also been requested.

    Sources claimed that officials of the Petroleum Division have held separate informal meetings with heads of oil refineries. The coalition government will hold a meeting with four major refineries today (Wednesday), ARY reported.

    Meanwhile, it is important to mention that former prime minister Imran Khan and his cabinet were ready to purchase oil at 30% cheaper rates compared to other suppliers. However, his government was ousted from power due to Russia's visit.
