WHAT THIS MEANS
Oil prices have reached $100 per barrel, but petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, suggesting government price controls or subsidies are absorbing the cost increase. This indicates potential fiscal pressure on government budgets while providing temporary relief to consumers and inflation metrics.
