How Is Fuel Pricing Decided Each Month in the UAE?
The UAE follows a transparent monthly review system to set local fuel prices. This approach combines the average global oil prices from the previous month with the local distribution and transportation costs incurred by fuel companies. Since the government removed direct fuel subsidies in September 2015, pricing decisions are now handled by the Fuel Price Committee, which bases its updates on global market trends. This method helps ensure transparency and allows both drivers and businesses to anticipate fuel expenses and plan their budgets more effectively.
Impact of Fuel Price Changes on Drivers and Businesses in the UAE
Rising fuel prices have a direct impact on both individual and business expenses, especially with higher daily operating costs for cars and trucks. As the winter season begins and travel activity increases, many drivers will notice higher monthly spending compared to last month. Companies in the transport and logistics sectors also need to recalculate their operating budgets to adapt to these changes.
