The UAE has announced fuel prices for July. In June, prices stayed the same as in May, which had seen a slight increase after two months of steady declines.
Petrol prices in the UAE were earlier projected to face upward pressure for July as global oil prices surged earlier in June after the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Iran, followed by US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
The new rates will apply from July 1 and are as follows:
- Super 98 petrol will cost Dh2.70 a litre, compared to Dh2.58 in June.
- Special 95 petrol will cost D2.58 per litre, compared to the current rate of Dh2.47.
- E-Plus 91 petrol will cost Dh2.51 a litre, compared to Dh2.39 a litre in June.
- Diesel will be charged at Dh2.63 a litre, compared to the current rate of Dh2.45.
Since UAE deregulated petrol prices in 2015 and aligned them with global rates, the rates are revised at the end of every month.
