How Are Prices Of Fuel In The UAE Decided?
Prior to 2015, the UAE government highly subsidised fuel prices thereby resulting in low petrol and diesel prices. This strategy also protected prices from fluctuations that come as a result of crude oil price trends. In September 2015, it was aligned with global oil prices. The Fuel Price Committee decides fuel prices in the UAE.
A close look at the correlation between global crude oil prices and UAE fuel prices reveals that the UAE’s fuel price increase or decrease is dependent on the average increase/decrease of crude oil prices in the previous month. Several key factors influence crude oil prices including economic policies and geopolitical developments. This results in the fluctuation of crude oil prices on a daily basis.
July 2024 Petrol Price Prediction
In June 2024, crude oil prices increased by approximately 9% and oil price trends are expected to further fluctuate throughout the month of July, ending on a high. Hence we expect fuel prices in the UAE to increase in August 2024. However, this is just a fuel price prediction. Official fuel prices for August 2024 will be revealed on 31 July, so stay tuned to DubiCars for the official fuel prices for the next month.
