Petrol prices over the past six months
Petrol prices in the UAE
The Fuel Price Committee (FPC) had froze prices due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, however, the controls were removed in March 2021 to reflect rising oil prices globally.
In addition, petrol prices are also majorly affected by a global increase in crude oil prices.
Crude oil prices have skyrocketed since the beginning of 2022, thus affecting petrol prices, especially due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, as Russia is one of the world’s largest exporters of oil.
Petrol prices in the UAE, which are set by the authorities, follow the global price movement for oil.
