Petrol prices in the UAE are expected to see a slight adjustment in October, as global oil prices have remained largely stable in August compared to the previous month.
The UAE’s fuel price committee determines the retail prices for petrol and diesel at the end of each month, based on global oil market trends from the preceding month.
So far in August, the average closing price of Brent crude has been $67.03 per barrel — a marginal increase from $66.90 per barrel recorded last month.
The UAE deregulated petrol prices in 2015 to align them with the international rate.
In the UAE, Super 98 costs Dh2.70 a litre in September, Special 95 at Dh2.58, and E-Plus at Dh2.51.
Petrol prices play a significant role in any economy as fluctuations can influence inflation rates, consumer spending, and operational costs for businesses, particularly in sectors like logistics and construction. Additionally, fuel prices directly affect airline operations and shipping, making them a key factor in maintaining a competitive advantage in global commerce.
