Major reduction in petroleum product prices likely from May 16

There is a possibility of a major drop in the prices of petroleum products in Pakistan in the next 15 days starting from May 16.

How to get New currency notes on Eid 2025 in Pakistan

As the holy month of Ramadan progresses and the joys of Eid al-Fitr draw near, Pakistanis are eagerly preparing for the joyous tradition of giving Eid gifts to their loved ones, usually in the form of new currency notes.

In the past, the central bank used to issue fresh currency notes worth millions of rupees before Eid al-Fitr. However, since the coronavirus pandemic, this practice has been stopped. As a result, Pakistanis have had to make do with torn notes to celebrate Eid.

New currency notes on Eid 2025

Sources claim that the chances of new notes being issued on Eid 2025 are very slim. Although the State Bank has not made any official announcement regarding the issuance of new notes, it is unlikely that the central bank will issue new currency notes for Eid-ul-Fitr.

On the other hand, currency dealers will continue to sell new notes at high prices on the black market, as per tradition. This means that those who want to give new notes as Eid gifts will have to buy them at a higher price.
