Why Petrol Prices Change in UAE
Multiple global and local factors influence what you pay at the pump each month.
Global Oil Prices
UAE fuel prices are directly tied to global crude oil prices, which fluctuate based on OPEC decisions, geopolitical events, and global supply-demand dynamics.
UAE Fuel Price Committee
The UAE Fuel Price Follow-Up Committee reviews international market conditions monthly and sets the retail price effective from the 1st of each month.
Last Price Fix Committee
Historical price-fix data is maintained by the committee to ensure price changes are gradual, transparent, and aligned with market benchmarks.
Refinery Processing Costs
The cost of refining crude oil into different fuel grades (Super 98, 95, 91, Diesel) affects the pricing structure of each fuel type differently.
AED/USD Exchange Rates
Since crude oil is globally traded in USD, exchange rate stability is critical. The UAE dirham's peg to the dollar helps maintain pricing predictability.
Government Policy
The UAE government's energy policies, distribution regulations, and strategic fuel reserves all contribute to shaping the final pump price consumers pay.
