What happened
Pakistan offered Saudi Arabia tax-free oil storage facilities under a tax-neutral bonded policy, which is benchmarked against international energy hubs like Fujairah and Singapore. This arrangement allows Saudi companies to set up commercial oil reserves in Pakistan without local tax liabilities. The government also highlighted plans for a major petroleum storage and refining complex in Balochistan.

Why it matters
The policy is intended to help Saudi Arabia diversify maritime transit risks associated with the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab Al Mandeb Strait, while providing easier access to Asian markets. The storage facilities are also meant to strengthen Pakistan’s role as an energy corridor for Central Asian and Chinese markets.
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan are involved in a joint oil storage scheme.
