The rises are the greatest since 2015 when the UAE began basing fuel prices on average worldwide costs. Previously, the government subsidised all gasoline prices to protect households from changing rates. Prices broke beyond the two dirham/litre barrier in March 2021 and haven’t looked back since. Much of the globe is now facing soaring fuel expenses, with some nations suffering four-fold increases in petrol prices.
