This terminal will help to import/export petroleum products at its ease and to meet the demand of southern region of the country.
In addition to enhancing storage capacity at existing Bulk Oil Terminals i.e., Rawalpindi and Machike, we are actively considering establishing storage terminals at other strategic locations of the country like Mehmood Kot-Multan, Gatti-Faisalabad and Shikarpur.
Financial Highlights
Oil Terminals
At present APL is enjoying a wide storage network at the following different locations:
APL intends to construct new oil terminals at all other strategic locations in North, Central and Southern regions of the country.
Further, with the backing of two strategically placed group refineries, Attock Refinery Limited covering the North and National Refinery Limited covering the South of the country, we corroborate a sustainable competitive edge in light of our consistent storage and reliable supply infrastructure.
APL therefore, keeping in view the significance of catering to the ever rising energy demands of the country is continuously in quest of developing, running and maintaining a much higher and developed storage and supply infrastructure.
Logistics
Attock Petroleum Limited (APL) intends to build a world class infrastructure for the distribution of petroleum products throughout the country.
Every day hundreds of vehicles roll out from the oil installations to travel vast stretches of the Indus Valley, deserts in the south and mountainous ranges in the north to reach its customers. We touch the lives of millions of people across the country by meeting their energy needs.
The supply chain ensures via using a state of the art vehicles tracking system that each product is delivered to its customers at the right time in the right quantity and quality. The journey of each vehicle is tracked form the moment it leaves the installation to the customer’s doorstep, providing more than just a service ,but peace of mind and confidence that comes therewith.
“The exports of Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Dairy products, Chemicals, Electrical equipment, Machinery, Paper & Paperboard have contributed to this increase. We continue to encourage legal, secure, transparent, consistent & reliable trade with Afghanistan. Exporters are urged to aggressively market their exports to Afghanistan. We also commend the efforts of MOC’s Trade & Investment Counsellor & urge him to provide even greater facilitation to our exporters,”
“The previous Afghan government imposed higher taxes on Pakistani goods but the main cause of the decline in the exports is the collapse of the banking system in the war-torn country,” he added, saying that with the US withdrawal in April the Pakistani exports of goods via Torkhan reduced by 50 per cent.
“Around 70 per cent exports are of cement because the construction industry is a large one in Afghanistan which was brought to a standstill by the Taliban take over. This is what traders are telling us. Let’s see what happens in the next few weeks,” he said.
Traders said that majority of the share in exports was of Punjab province but local traders and middle men were also benefiting from it in Peshawar.
“The transporters and truck owners are majority Pakhtuns while the middlemen are also from Peshawar. Local traders are involved in exports too but on small scale like jaggary is exported from Peshawar which is in great demand in Afghanistan and tribal belt,” they said.
A local customs clearance agent and trader Mujib Shiwari said that the competition Pakistani traders faced in Afghanistan from Iran and India had almost disappeared and this was a golden opportunity but the new regime in Kabul should reduce taxes on Pakistani goods and ensure security for Pakistani vehicles.
“Security is a major concern and the new government could facilitate Pakistani traders in this regard but another problem was the banking system in Afghanistan which is non-functional after the fall of Kabul and transaction are not possible for traders via banks,” he informed, saying that in the past there were heavy taxes on Pakistani goods in Afghanistan and officials were also corrupt.
Most other traders are worried that the lack of US funding for the new government would push the country’s economy into recession and the purchase powers of the local would drop dramatically as in the past two decades Afghan traders demanded the best food items and other goods which will no more be the case due to declining economy.
“Still we have to supply them with flour, rice and vegetables as well as ghee and oil and Afghanistan is a promising market to a great degree,”
Monetary policy involves central banks’ use of instruments to influence interest rates and/or money supply in the economy with the objective to keep overall prices and financial markets stable. Monetary policy is essentially a stabilization or demand management policy that cannot impact long-term growth potential of an economy. Preamble to SBP Act, 1956 envisages monetary policy to secure monetary stability and attain fuller utilization of economy’s productive resources. In SBP’s view, the best way to achieve these objectives on a sustainable basis is to keep inflation low and stable.
Low and stable inflation provides favorable conditions for sustainable growth and employment generation over time. It reduces uncertainties about future prices of goods and services and helps households and businesses to make economically important decisions such as consumption, savings and investments with more confidence. This, in turn, facilitates higher growth and creates employment opportunities over the medium term leading to overall economic well-being in the country.
In practice, SBP’s monetary policy strives to strike a balance among multiple and often competing considerations. These include: controlling inflation, ensuring payment system and financial stability, preserving foreign exchange reserves, and supporting private investment.
How does Monetary Policy Work? SBP signals its monetary policy stance through adjustments in the policy rate; that is, the SBP Target Rate for the overnight money market repo rate. Changes in the policy rate impact demand in the economy through several channels and with a lag. In the first place, changes in policy rate influence the interest rates determined in the interbank market at which financial institutions lend or borrow from each other. The market interest rates are also influenced by central bank interventions in money and foreign exchange markets as well as by its communication.
The changes in market interest rates influence the borrowing cost for consumers and businesses as well as the return on deposits for the savers. Generally, lower interest rates encourage people to save less and consume/invest more, and vice versa. Changes in the policy rate also influence the value of financial and real assets, impacting people’s wealth and thus their spending. The adjustment in demand finally affects the general price level and thus inflation in the economy.
The preamble of the SBP Act, 1956 envisages these objectives as ‘whereas it is necessary to provide for the constitution of a State Bank to regulate the monetary and credit system of Pakistan and to foster its growth in the best national interest with a view to securing monetary stability and fuller utilization of the country’s productive resources.’SBP focuses on achieving monetary stability by controlling inflation close to its annual and medium-term targets set by the government. At the same time, SBP also aims to ensure financial stability, particularly the smooth functioning of the financial market and the payments system. Consensus in literature as well as country experiences suggests that price and financial stability facilitate the achievement of sustained economic growth in the long-run.
Monetary Policy Committee is responsible and fully empowered to decide the monetary policy stance. Section 9E of the SBP Act 1956 lays out the powers and functions of the Monetary Policy Committee that have been mainly identified as to:
(a) formulate, support and recommend the monetary policy, including, as appropriate, decisions relating to intermediate monetary objectives, key interest rates and the supply of reserves in Pakistan and may make regulations for their implementation;
(b) approve and issue the monetary policy statement and other monetary policy measures.
