In August, the fuel price committee raised the retail rates for Super 98, Special 95, and E-Plus 91 by as much as 19 fils per litre. The UAE’s fuel price committee meets every month to decide whether prices will increase or decrease.

Meanwhile, global oil prices have been on the rise since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners (known as OPEC+) agreed to extend oil production cuts they announced in April through the end of 2024.

OPEC+ pumps approximately 40 per cent of the world’s crude and policy decisions can have a significant impact on prices.
