  "account": "In the fiscal year 2026, Pakistan's petroleum exports reached a record high of $939 million, marking a 3.9 percent increase from $903 million in the previous fiscal year, 2025. This surge in export value has been driven by a decline in domestic demand for furnace oil and a shift towards low-sulphur petroleum products. Over the past three years, Pakistan's petroleum exports have shown a significant upward trajectory, climbing from $553 million in FY24 to $903 million in FY25 and further to $939 million in FY26.\n\nThe latest increase in exports is primarily attributed to the growing demand for low-sulphur products, including Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), which is predominantly utilized as marine fuel. The export value of Pakistan's petroleum has been subject to considerable fluctuations over the years. It stood at $676 million in FY19, plummeted to $369 million in FY20, and further decreased to $235 million in FY21. Exports managed to recover to $415 million in FY22, but experienced a decline to $291 million in FY23 before surging back to $553 million in FY24.\n\nThe $939 million figure recorded in FY26 represents the highest export value in the observed period, surpassing the previous record of $903 million in FY25. This milestone underscores the growing importance of petroleum exports in Pakistan's economy.",
