Background
The UAE began setting fuel prices based on global averages in August 2015, ending government subsidies. This move allows prices to fluctuate monthly based on international market conditions.
How Prices Are Determined
The UAE federal government announces petrol prices on the last day of each month through its petroleum firm Emarat. These prices include a 5% VAT and are adjusted to reflect changes in global fuel markets.
Impact on Consumers
The decrease in petrol prices will benefit drivers across the UAE, providing some relief after price increases in February. This adjustment helps maintain a balance between consumer costs and global market fluctuations.
